Tau High Proof Extra Añejo

89 SCORE

“Very nice tequila from Tau. Nice oak, caramel, vanilla and agave nose. Quite oak forward on the taste due to the extended barrel time. Touches of fruit and caramel with a nice spice finish. Love the higher proof and comes in a very nice box. ”

“First time I tried this Tequila was at the distillery in September 2024 and I was having so much fun I forgot to rate it. It is agave, pepper, citrus and vanilla on the nose. Much of the same on the taste with a touch of minerals and honey followed by some oak and earth. Pepper finish.”

Jose Cuervo Especial Gold

45 SCORE

“Not as offensive as the silver but still un godly awful. The plastic medicinal smell is still there. Slight fake sugar taste and finish. This is the result of making tequila with all the wrong processes. I dont typically give Un drinkable ratings but this is just that.”

Chamucos Diablo Blanco

“I dig the Chamucos line! NOM 1586. Agave, pepper, minerals and a punch of cheese on the nose. The taste has a bit of complexity to it with agave, citrus, pepper, minerals, earthiness and hot cinnamon with some alcohol. Does not drink like 55%. Nice mouthfeel. Finish has some brine that goes well with the profile. ”

El Jimador Blanco Tequila

65 SCORE

“AMM Blind. I wanted badly to edit this one after locking in my answers. This has a strong minty, alcohol aroma with a bit of agave left. The taste is better than the smell for myself. The taste has quite a bit of fruit (fake), the mint is still strongly there with anise, mineral and some agave. It leaves a light fruit finish that is medicinal.”
