House of Rare Blanco

83 SCORE

“Aroma: anise, agave, pepper, mint, peppery herbal note. Taste: cooked agave, sharp cracked pepper, mint, minerality, slight olive brine Value is low. It’s a great tasting Tequila but it’s hard to justify an 80 proof blanco at this price.”

Lost Lore Tahona Blanco

85 SCORE

“Went back to back with the valley expression and so I think that skewed my rating with how much I love the valley expression. This has strong anise notes that personally aren’t for me. Putting that aside though, great mouthfeel, easy to sip, another great one from Lost Lore. Taste: cooked agave, anise, slight olive brine, and fruit in the finish.”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Blanco

80 SCORE

“Aroma: Right off the bat I relate the smell to a funky rice cracker. Funky agave, anise, black pepper, olive brine, slight earth and fruit Taste: sweeter but similar taste. Cooked agave, anise, minerals, black pepper, cinnamon. Not bad for sub $40, but there’s a flavor there that really bugs me. Unfortunately not a bottle I’d sit down and sip.”

Patrón Reposado

78 SCORE

“Nose: agave, oak, faint butterscotch Taste: a little bland overall, the agave comes through with the oak and sweet caramel notes, but there’s a bitterness and an ethanol bite to it. Finish: lingering caramel sweetness and tingling ethanol, and bitter aftertaste. For $50, there are other Reposados I’d spend my money on. Not great value.”

Luna De Jalisco Tequila Blanco

84 SCORE

“A surprisingly nice buy as a Total Wine spirits direct brand. Aroma: cooked agave, anise, green pepper, mint, a touch of citrus and floral notes. Taste: cooked agave, floral, anise, green pepper Finish: green pepper and dried fruit Reminds me quite a bit of Casa Azul Organico Blanco profile. Different but lots of similar notes. It’s a good value at $40, even better if it's priced lower or on sale. ”

AsomBroso Tequila Reposado Eros

82 SCORE

“Nose: Sweet aromas of vanilla, caramel, honey, and cooked agave lead, followed by cinnamon, baking spices, musty oak, and faint fruit notes. Taste: Honey and cooked agave dominate, with caramel, baking spices, citrus, and oak rounding out the palate. Finish: Citrus and baking spices persist, closing with a light touch of anise. The price point takes away some value points for me”
