ESPACIAL Alto Grado Blanco (1414)

88 SCORE

“Aroma: the aroma on this was is classic Cascauin with a citrus and minty punch. The smell takes me to summer with its bright and fruity notes, balanced well with obvious touches of agave and pepper. Palette: since this one is a high proof there is a distinct kick that hits the tongue immediately though it’s followed by some intriguing traces of fruits like pineapple, pear and surprisingly banana. I’ve never picked up banana on any tequila thus far, not to be confused with a synthetic additive taste but a natural earthy finish. The mouth feel is consistent with a well made tequila from this distillery, oily and slick just as I prefer. ”

Cazcanes No. 9 Blanco

98 SCORE

“Nose: initial scent of vegetal and mineral cooked agave! Smells like what you’d expect for Cazcanes. Palate: the palate on this blanco is amazing! There is a good burn due to the higher alcohol content but it fades into a minty, pineapple flavor but agave is front and center! As we sipped this blanco you start to get notes of citrus, anise and a subtle sweetness from the cooked agave! Finish: there is a gray burn on this high-proof but in the best way possible. High recommend!”
