tried this at sabor LA with the owner Martin. really good blanco atan excellent price

38%-ABV bottle

Nice cooked agave aromas Soft sipper with earthy notes, pepper and loaded of cooked agave. Reminds me of older Viva Mexico bottling.

Nose and palate were soft. Not a bad offering but not my favorite. Finish was slightly bitter.

On the nose, cooked agave and distinct minerality. Lemon peel, citrus. Fruit, like melon maybe. Some pineapple, bordering on that sharp sweetness of overripe pineapple. On the palate, Lemon oil, immediately and a ton of cooked agave and minerals. A little bit of pepper, and a vegetal note. Very oily, medium-ish finish. Overall, Not bad. I wouldn’t add this to my collection, but I’m glad to have tried it. Shout out to Tequila Mockingbird for giving me a sample. It’s competent, clearly well made, but the very basic flavor profile is not my cup of tea(quila) with the specific notes I’m getting.

This easy sipper is good. Pure cooked agave up front with citrus, baking spices, some vegetalness and a slight peppery finish.

Cooked agave on the nose…. Spring time on the nose…Fresh water/ minerality, citrus… grassy with some floral. Good body not water watery … natural sweetness from the cooked agave on the mouth with some citrus and lemon slight burn that does not last long at all quick heat then transform to a natural/ organic sweetness.

This is the US version 40% Abv Nose: cooked agave, mineral, citrus, tangerine, Meyer lemon, pineapple, ripe pear, ripe banana, at the top of the glass is some grass and mint, with flowers and orange blossoms at the bottom of the glass Flavor: minerals, has a little honey sweetness, some cooked agave, citrus, pear, green pineapple, light mint, and anise Finish: is long, with cooked agave making an appearance, lots of pepper that leaves the mouth tingling

I’m greeted with bright agave and grassy notes. As I swirl there’s nice tears which ultimately lead to a wonderfully creamy sip. I’m tasting agave, grass, pepper, citrus, and a touch vegetal. It gives a soft impression due to the velvety mouthfeel, but there’s some really bright notes and a tingle of pepper in there too. I could drink this all day.

TAU Blanco 38% Just above the glass I detect some minerality and then as I get closer I get bright agave and then some oily lemon zest. I taste the agave and citrus right away. The minerality hits on the mid-palate and then a nice vegetal pepper hits right before the finish. There is a nice light alcohol tingle on the finish which I didn’t expect from a 38% abv / 76 proof Blanco tequila. This tequila has been oxygenated. This is another great tequila from NOM1414 - Sergio Cruz - Master Distiller. It’s Confirmed Additive Free by Grover and Scarlet at TMM.

Minty, creamy 1414 aroma and flavor, nice mouthfeel and finish. Clean and easy to drink.

Martin introduced me to his brand Tequila Tau which brings homage to the Wixarika culture. Right away a very fruity and sweet agave, with notes of tropical fruits especially banana (first time seeing that). Follows with notes of sweet pineapple/orange juice that is covered by a velvety sensation. Has some herbal/grassy notes as well and finishes with a black pepper. Really amazed by this new brand!

Un fuerte olor a canela de la bienvenida a este tequila blanco; acompañado por Agave cocido, banana y pimienta. En boca se confirma la canela, con toques de avellana, es mineral y terroso. El retrogusto es persistente y profundo.

Pretty subtle nose, getting some interesting citrus notes. Light pepper and raw agave on my mouth. Pretty smooth, wish this could had more character. Taste is short and light for me. Fair and honest tequila, great for sipping.

Rated blind. Lots of hay, dried grass, cooked agave, and cinnamon. Smells and tastes totally natural. Lots of agave flavor and natural sweetness. Feels great in your mouth. Clean, yet lots of character. Great job.

Aroma of agave and citrus. First flavor was the spiciness of black pepper followed by the agave. Nice long finish.

Mexican release version @ 38% ABV Aromas: This nose isn’t the most forceful that I’ve ever experienced, but it is one of the most jam packed with aromas in recent memory. It starts with roasted agave. It transitions to trace barnyard, full blown citrus and grassy/herbal notes. Alkaline minerals emerge, green banana, cinnamon, mint and vanilla. Flavor: Agave is the star with robust black pepper and a silky mouth feel. A slight letdown from the nosing. Finish: Rich round caramelized agave clings and lingers, playing off green peppercorns, and spices of cinnamon and anise. I would like to try the 40% USA version. I think this tequila would benefit from a more robust 40% ABV profile. IMO.

Aroma: Cooked agave, citrus (orange, lime), grass & black pepper Taste: agave, citrus, cinnamon, with notes of grass Finish:medium finish with balanced taste of agave, citrus, & cinnamon. Overall: $53 very nice Blanco to enjoy sipping or in a citrus cocktail.

Another great Sergio Cruz tequila.! Even out of a small tasting cup and a store in Cabo. The tequila had a great nose a lot of agave flavor. Would like to revisit in a tasting glass to get an idea of the finish.

Very good blanco. Super easy to drink. I smell the 1414 footprint immediately. A little smoke on the palate. Finish is short but sweet.

Aroma: cooked agave, cinnamon, alcohol, pineapple, pepper, mineral, grass, slight vegetal, wet earth, stone, citrus, tropical fruity Palate: cooked agave, pineapple, alcohol, vegetal, pepper, minerality, juicy sweetness cane sugar caña like, cinnamon, easy sipper really enjoyed this blanco Perfect for both sipping and mixing

Lote TAUBCO1931, bottled on 12-09-2019. This bottle has a round white sticker which is the award of Gold medal from the Academia del Mezcal y del Maguey competition in 2020. Aroma: briny raw agave, light black olive note, feels oily, minty & fresh, aromatic herbaceous note. Palate: salty raw agave, minty & fresh, oily mouthfeel. At the end it is slightly astringent. No agave sweetness… Finish is medium to medium long, salty raw agave with minty notes persist.

Crisp and clean. Pure agave flavor. Good Stuff

The fact that this blanco is so tropical forward goes to show you that you can have a unique tequila without using additives. The combination of agaves used and all the other production methods used is what makes good brands/distilleries good. Grassy and raw agave funk with banana and mineral undertones. My go to for tequila tiki cocktails!
