Cazcanes No. 7 Reposado

75 SCORE

“Maybe I had a bad bottle, but something isn’t right. It tastes artificial. While there is some nice agave flavor there, it is overwhelmed by an artificial sweetness that gets worse the more I hold it in my mouth.”

Siembra Valles High Proof Tahona Blanco

“The aroma is bursting with agave and has some alcoholic harshness. The flavor hits the tongue with a punch of pepper and alcoholic heat, but very quickly mellows out with a wonderful agave sweetness the carries right through the finish. The 1123 concrete is distinctive and delightful.”

Codigo 1530 Still Strength Blanco

63 SCORE

“As with other Codigio offerings the aroma is subtle but I detect a touch more cooked agave than with their other expressions. I think something may have gone wrong with the bottle I sampled. I tasted this alongside several other Codigo expressions and this had a foul taste that wasn’t present in the others. ”
