Trujillo Manifiesto 56

84 SCORE

“on the nose: cooked agave, olive, anise, vanilla, and orange (flesh). on the palate: middle of the road mouth feel. not thin, not oily. Flavors include roasted agave, olive again, black pepper, black cherry, and brine. The finish is long, hot, and minty. not my favorite SS/hp, but it's solid. ”

Zumbador Tequila Blanco

88 SCORE

“On the nose: Cooked agave, strong minerality, and black pepper. on the palate: Oily mouth feel gives way to cooked and raw Agave, black pepper, minerality and butter. A medium finish with some great spice. This is the best twenty five dollar blanco i've ever had. it's a 45 dollar drink hiding in a 25 dollar price tag. highly recommend. ”

Tierra de Ensueño Reposado

89 SCORE

“on the nose: Bourbon, honey, cooked agave, vanilla, orange peel, and tangerine. on the palate: an excellently oily mouthfeel. Cooked agave, oak, cinnamon, orange vanilla, honey, butter and butterscotch, and black pepper. It is very complex - in a good way - with a long, sweet, warm finish. 1000% buy and enjoy. batch variance is significant with this brand, so a reminder that this is for batch #2.”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Reposado

87 SCORE

“on the nose: cooked and raw agave, vanilla, orange blossom, and grass. on the palate: the mouthfeel is thinner than others but not watery or weak by any means. cooked agave and a kow key pop of citrus up front give way to butter and butterscotch, cinnamon, raisin, and red apple. some black pepper too but it's secondary. warm, short finish. liked it, def reccomend.”

Cazcanes Nuestras Raices Blanco (2026)

90 SCORE

“on the nose: espadin, grass, butter on the palate: sharp espadin forward, light black pepper, and like many of the other spirits from cazcanes, a delicious butter note. it's made with blue agave, but it really tastes like a high quality mezcal. the finish is long but mild, demanding another sip. expensive, but still unskippable.”

Cazcanes No. 9 Blanco

89 SCORE

“short version: intensely cooked agave on the nose and palate. butter and pepper strong and blended perfectly. citrus is present but it takes a backseat because the agave is soooooooo forward, in the best way. minerality is excellent and aggressive, the oily mouth feel is dense but not thick. finish is long but not strong. this gets one of my highest scores, and a strong recommendation. don't let the price tag scare you off. It's worth a visit. the whole line is, really.”

Lost Lore On Premise Blanco

86 SCORE

“intense cooked agave jumps out on the nose and palate. minerality is high with additional hits of lemon/lime/orange citrus and a warm, medium finish. I can't believe this is a mixto. it drinks better than MANY of the 100% agave tequilas I've had. def reccomend.”

Patrón 100 Silver

76 SCORE

“nose: light agave, lemongrass, green pepper. palate: agave, black pepper, strong minerality, lemon, grapefruit, ethanol, anise and butter. unbalanced. the ethanol overpowers. it's a good price for a hp but if I'm going to have a patron product, I'd pick a different one.”

Lost Lore Tequila Añejo

80 SCORE

“interplay of oak and Agave is balanced but distinct. lots of both fruit forward, strong cherry notes. a bit of butterscotch, green pepper, ethanol and black pepper carry throughout. the finish completely loses me. musty and funky in a way I can't explain. glad I scratched it off my list but I wouldn't buy this.”

Cazcanes Nuestras Raices Blanco (2025)

86 SCORE

“insanely raw and intense combination of flavors and scents. it's like someone took every note ever pulled from a tequila and a mezcal and shoved them into one bottle. very similar to caballito Cerrato chato. if you're new in your journey, save this for later. been at it a while? this one is worth sitting with if you want your palate challenged... in a good way.”

Wild Common Tequila Blanco Still Strength

86 SCORE

“deep cooked agave and black pepper on the nose. also picked up a burst of orange/lemon citrus and decent minerality. on the palate: cooked agave out front, black pepper is a strong second and continues through the mid and finish. minerality is strong of limestone, but not briny. strong ethanol presence, a bit of anise, olive, and a bright orange and lemon burst round this out. I like this a lot but IMHO, their 40% abv blanco is a much better expression.”

Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Reposado

“this one is a mess. ethanol dominant on both the nose and palate. oak is spicy and present on the palate but the agave itself is washed out by bitterness. also, 75 bucks? hard pass. ”

Olmeca Altos Plata

83 SCORE

“nose: agave, black pepper, orange, lime, ethanol, grass, and melon. palate: cooked agave, black pepper, slight brine, slight minerality. oily mouth feel that transcends the price point. finish is not very long, a slight bitterness from ethanol and the very end. fantastic for the price point. Def a top three under $30 tequila brand. salud!”

Tepozan Blanco

“dominant funk on the nose and palate. flavors of acetone and alcohol. some agave is here but not enough to compensate. some spice is present by way of cinnamon and black pepper but they are quite divorced from the balance. not enjoying this one very much.”

“lote 513, 23024, 7b on the nose: cooked agave, citrus, olive, and brine. long slow legs. on the palate: cooked agave, citrus (orange and grapefruit), olive, black pepper. this is insanely good. one of the best I've ever had in my life. Walk, don't run to grab one. even at 70 bucks it's worth it.”

Not A Celebrity Tequila Blanco

85 SCORE

“On the nose I get green pepper raw agave and fresh cut grass. On the palate I get raw and cooked agave with a burst of citrus and hints of cinnamon. The black pepper shows up in the mid to finish and carry through the finish where the brine shows up and adds a bit of salinity. overall this a a great tequila for noobs. low heat, additive free, and a clean taste. Def reccomend.”
