Socorro Tequila Añejo (Square Label)

58 SCORE

“Aroma- very vanilla and cinnamon, quite different than the blanco, no agave Taste- To me this tastes like it has additives, especially vanilla, the agave is completely hidden Finish- Not natural vanilla Overall- Disappointing compared to the blanco, perhaps they are different noms, we did not record the nom before tasting. ”

“Aroma- Spicy baked apple with all spice and cloves, not much for agave, sharp aromas though Flavor- Mimics the aroma which is good, but I wish there was more agave in there. Finish- Most of the aroma and flavor dissipate and you are left with a short bitey finish with quite a bit of anise. ”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Reposado

81 SCORE

“Blind taste test Aroma- Trends much more towards añejo with light butterscotch and hints of caramel. Underneath there is a tiny hint of minerality, vegetalness, and agave. Flavor- Starts with caramel agave and then you get a lot of wood with a hint of cinnamon. Finish- Bitterness overwhelmed the finish. Very woody agave with caramel coming through at the end. Overall- Not my favorite which was a bit of a surprise as I really enjoy the blanco. ”
