Cazcanes Nuestras Raices Blanco (2025)

91 SCORE

“Cazcanes Nuestras Raices is special. It has a great nose … cooked agave punch in the face! It’s earthy (like fresh rain), citrus, vegetal, pepper. First sip … big cooked agave, citrus, minty, lingering cinnamon and pepper, it has a light smoky finish but it’s nice, welcoming, not overpowering at all. Follow up sips are sweeter, the cooked agave is huge, cinnamon, kinda grassy. This is a very enjoyable pour.”

“Nose: Very nice … cooked agave, citrus, honeydew / cantaloupe, some pineapple, pepper. Taste: Cooked agave, orange, mint, pepper. I wish the finish was a bit longer because it’s tasty. ”

Cierto Tequila Private Collection Blanco

74 SCORE

“I have to say I’m a bit surprised and disappointed with this offering. Usually, I’ve been a fan of releases from NOM1146 but there’s just something I can’t get beyond. Perhaps it’s a bad bottle. The nose: I get cooked agave, fruity, but there is this off putting aroma between anchovy / soy sauce. I thought I was going crazy but I let it open up and few minutes and came back to it. Not as intense but it was still there. Taste: Cooked agave, sweet, overripe banana, savory, a hint of pepper, medium finish. Perhaps I’ll revisit this down the road but I’m having a hard time reconciling the nose and taste. Making it tough to enjoy it at the moment.”

Tequila Ocho Plata Puntas - 2024 Mirandillas

89 SCORE

“2024, the nose is pleasant, cooked agave, buttery, citrus, earthy (reminds me of the clean smell after a fresh rain) Taste is cooked agave, a little sweetness, minty. The alcohol “burn” is there but not as pronounced as the 2023, and fades quickly leaving an earthy, mineral, pepper and dark chocolate finish. A solid pour. ”

“One of my personal favorites. This stuff is “barbecue sauce” … I could drink it all night long.”
