Lost Lore FTR Collaboration Reposado

90 SCORE

“Wow does this expression deliver on layer after layer of flavor. On the Nose you get honey, Vanilla, a tea like note with just enough of that cooked agave to let you know its still tequila. On the palate as soon as it hits your tongue you get a spicy honey, Vanilla, baking spices along with a tea note that just rounds out the flavor profile. The cooked Agave is subtle yet still there. I'm going to enjoy this one slow because the flavors stick with you for quite awhile. sit back and enjoy the ride when you buy this ”

“On the Nose fresh pop I get cooked agave, a herbal note along with minerality. On the palate I get roasted agave, cinnamon, citrus and a fruit note. Finish is oily and coats the tongue very nice. 90 proof is a perfect proof point for this tequila. I came back to this a day later and wow has it opened up that sweet cooked agave is front and center . ”

Lost Lore Westbound Reposado

88 SCORE

“On the glass which is typical of anything coming out of NOM 1414 LL it coats the glass very nice with extremely slow tears running down. On the Nose I get Vanilla, honey, and I'm guessing some notes from that stout including a little baking spice and a little cinnamon. on the palate I get Vanilla, Cinnamon, Honey and just a little bitterness but man does it coat the tongue. The cooked Agave is very little if any but that is not a downfall. I really enjoy this pour and I'm not a huge Stout fan. ”

Fuck Yes! Tequila Blanco

83 SCORE

“With my eyes on the glass I notice this tequila coats the glass relatively good with slow running tears. On the Nose I get cooked agave followed by lime zest along with a funk I just can't put my finger on Not a bad funk but its ever so slight. On the palate Cooked Agave and lime zest are fighting each other to see which stands out more followed by a white pepper note. All in all one of the better if not the best out of NOM 1438 in my opinion. would I make this a every day sipper for me yes/ no . Yes on the price no on the fact its not available in my State but it would go great in a cocktail and I would not turn down a pour if offered.”

Tres Generaciones Cenobio's Batch Plata

85 SCORE

“This tequila coats the glass very nice with slow running tears On the Nose I get the minerality that is consistent with where it was made with a touch of fruit note. The cooked Agave is not strong but you can tell its there. On the palate I get cooked agave followed by minerality, a fruit note that I can't quite put my finger on along with a minty note that coats your tongue nicely. I lowered my score just a touch because I noticed the price varied anywhere from 35 to 75 I paid 69. But I would definitely buy this bottle again. ”

Zumbador Tequila Añejo
