D'Antaño

88 SCORE

“Great nose! Strong agave and caramel notes, as well as vanilla and oak. Deep straw color and nice tear adhesion in the glass. Very thin mouthfeel. Sweet on the palate with a mild whiskey character that doesn’t overpower the agave. Well balanced. Warmth builds through the long finish. Very nice.”

Carreta de Oro Añejo

“Tequila bar flight taste in shot glass…. Best nose of the three, with vanilla, caramel and some earth and cement. Light to medium mouthfeel. Sweet on the pallet with mild cinnamon and pepper tones. Medium-quick finish. Best of the three expressions for me.”

“Nose has hints of caramel and butterscotch. Color is a dark amber. Thin mouthy. Flavor is not nearly as appealing as the aroma might imply. Has a harsh bite and a quick astringent finish.”

“Soft nose with hints of earth, cement, grass and citrus. Not as bright in the glass as I was hoping for. Medium mouthfeel. Sweet agave upfront, with cinnamon-pepper, mint and citrus tones. Finish is long and satisfying - until it turns a wee-bit harsh.”

“Real nice nose. Caramel and sweet agave with some earth. Pale straw color in the glass. Thick mouthfeel. Has a hint of scotch personality - but not enough to ruin the experience for me. Sweet and woody on the palate with a light pepper and cinnamon finish. Cool bottle patterning. ”

“Nose leads with strong citrus as well as earth, vegetal, grass, cement and agave notes. Bright and clear in the glass with nice tear adhesion. Thick creamy mouthfeel. Sweet and peppery bite with strong citrus grapefruit on the palate. Finish is pleasantly long and sizzling. Not bad at all but I preferred the first batch compared to this 2025 bottle.”

Doña Celia Tequila Blanco

67 SCORE

“This was a well intentioned gift from my Aunt. The nose leads with a lactic-funk and mild astringency but there are also hints of mint, citrus and sweetness. Clear in the glass but not a “bright” as other blancos. Great tear adhesion. Nice enough mouthfeel. Sweet but biting on the palate with a sharp peppery sting and an oily alcohol / medicinal finish. Might do better in a Margarita - not a sipper for me. Bottle is a keeper though. ;)”
