Amazing nose/pallet, agave forward like youd expect from 1123, bright, floral, citrus, some buttercream, the bordeaux barrels give a nice fruitiness to both, medium body/finish, but homer on value for under $60 + big pts, great sipper anytime

• Visual: Dark straw w/ light straw thin edge. Thin viscosity • Initial Nasal Impact: Warming • Aroma: Over ripe pear, cinnamon, cooked agave, butter, copper, dried flowers, dried herbs • Mouthfeel: Buttery w/ sufficient alcohol • Flavor: Butter, cooked agave, cinnamon, dark clementine, wet forest earth, caramel • Finish: Med - long w/ butter, dark clementine and wet soil

Pale straw in color this has a very pungent nose. Some initial agave sweetness, this has a very light barrel touch that never covers that initial agave sweetness. Oak influence yes, but the base Blanco shines through and ends on a pleasing note. Very tasty

This is a unique tequila with its pinkish color, creamy texture and a well-balanced combination of cooked agave, minerals, spice and stone fruits. This one’s a winner.

Based on the nose alone, this one is definitely very unique. I get grapes, cranberries, hay, agave, and stone fruit. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied. the palate is of rose and minerality The finish I get grapes, rose, black pepper, and minerality on the very back end of that finish. I'm glad I tried this, but I don't think it's particularly what I look gor in a tequila as it drinks like a rosa.

Unique nose, most likely from the wine barrel. Pepper and slight bitterness on the palate. You can taste the wine influence on the finish. Not a favorite for me

I rated this in a blind and loved it. My original review is nothing like this. Not sure if the lots. The nose is sweet agave, flowers, fruits and grapes. Other than that I get vanilla and nutmeg. The taste is sweet agave, vanilla, caramel and pepper. Probably my least favorite part is the finish although not bad but does match the rest of the profile. I find it just a touch bitter and a bit too much alcohol. I do recommend this tequila and my nits are only minor. I would absolutely drink this again. While it may not have hit me the same way it did in the blind I have ordered a bottle for my collection.

Nose: floral / fruity/ pear/apple /mint / lavender/ chocolate/ Taste: cooked agave / vanilla / cinnamon/ banana/ plum-grapes/ nutmeg/ maple / chocolate Finish: extremely well balanced / sweet fruit and floral bouquet finish with a slightly wet yet creamy finish that stays on the sweet for a while. This blanco is barrel aged in Bordeaux barrels. That tiny rest in a barrel gives this blanco a strong reposado feel and taste. Amazing how wine barrels can impart so many flavors like chocolate on a tequila in less than 30 days. I got a slight hint of plum and grape on the nose but not on the taste. The agave sweetness carries through the whole experience.

Obscenely delicious!

The French oak wine barrels make a statement in this blanco. A fruity, cinnamon flavor with a long satisfying finish. Another interesting and unique blanco from NOM 1123.

Delicious!! Wine barrel influence is on the first taste. Silky, creamy, honey, cooked agave, minty, peppery finish. One of my favorites.

Montagave tasting 10/11/22, again 10/15, 10/22 the more I drink these, the more I like them both. they are sooo easy to sip, especially lote 2... Lote 1 Darker pink color Nose: agave, fruit, and red wine Palate: sweet agave with some fruit, a little heat Finish: dry, with a little fruit and some warmth that lingers. just how I like it. Viscosity: thick but not too thick. Very good Lote 2 Lighter color Nose: agave forward with some anise Taste: sweet agave, fruit, a little pepper, seems a little hotter than lote 1, in a good way Overall comparison between lotes 1 and 2: They are both quite good. I get more wine notes with 1. I like 2 better = sweeter more agave with anise, less wine notes. With 2, the finish is a little hotter, more peppery, in a good way. Legs on both are good lote 3 is a womderful blend of the 2 above lotes

Sweet, agave, fruity.

A nice over all balance of flavor. Lots of cooked agave. It’s very oily which I love. The finish is what does it for me. Nice hints of the Boudreaux barrel really shine through. I do wish it was a bit cheaper. Not sure the price falls in line with other premium blanco pricing.

Light wood and wine barrel notes. The agave shines here. Cooked agave, light red fruit flavors. Very balanced.

Floral, agave, sweet red wine, and hay on the nose, this smells great! I taste nice notes of agave and black pepper. Flavor is a notch below the amazing smell, as its got a slight bitter twang like over tart fruit. Nice legs but the finish is fairly short. (87 rating) Blind tasting, Jan 2025: (91) Light, fresh, and elegant—I’m picking up celery, berries, and sweet agave, with a nice lip tingle.

Cooked agave, minerality, grapes on the nose. Cooked agave black pepper , minerality grapes on the mouth… long finish

Very nice blonco. On the nose it has the typical cascahuin nose f agave, baking spices, minerality, right into a fruit like ripe grapes. The taste is wow very complex. Has a nice grape sickle taste (think of an orange crème sickle popsicle but with grape instead of oranges… but not artificial all natural tasting). Very good.

Lightly floral with a clean minerality melded with cooked agave aromas on the nose. Light sweetness on the palate, mild and pleasant. A dry finish with a delicious burst of agave and light pepper, mixed with lingering floral notes. Update: On a blind test, detected more bitterness on the finish.

There's a lot going on here nice viscosity with lots of flavor. Grape influence shines through while maintaining the agave. Vanilla cinnamon mint Amos present. Must at to a collection.

Nose: cooked agave, essence of red wine, ripe red fruit, floral, light citrus, wet dirt, fresh cut hay, and some mint Flavor: cooked agave, with nice cooked agave sweetness, creamy mouth feel, black pepper, some fruitiness, and mint mid palate Finish: short and peppery

a nice marriage of a slightly high-proof blanco and a Bordeaux Wine barrel. It's fruity and floral, and it's unique and well made. Lot1(172)=89, Lot2(237)=91, Lot3(311)=91

Montagave Blanco Heritage ventures into a merge of the Old & New World by merging Tequila craftmanship and Bordeaux distinctive personality. This Blanco tequila rests in Bordeaux wine barrel for 29 days to create an attractive rose-gold champagne color hue that instantly catches anyone's eyes. Once you dive in, you're received by a fresh and floral aromatic bouquet that is complemented by the agave richness and invites you to delight on it. Aroma: Fresh and crisp floral/fruity profile, that doesn't overpower the cooked agave presence. Both layers work on a very balanced way and provide just the right complexity for any drinker to get curious about what's next. Sweet citrus and baking spices nuances also say hello towards the end. Notes: cooked agave, plum, grapes, dried cherries, apple, orange, flowers, white pepper & baking spices. Mineral personality. Flavors: This profile has a creamy/buttery entrance with minimal alcohol attack (obtained from a malolactic fermentation). The cooked agave sweetness has been maintained, but also elevated from the berry-like symphony obtained from the aging method. It is slightly complex, but very enjoyable for any type of drinker, meaning notes are very friendly and familiar making it easy to sip. As you keep sipping, notes evolve towards a fruity layer composed of grapes, plum, prunes, licorice, and dried fruits. Accompanied by a sweet citrus presence of orange and grapefruit, leaving just a small tart touch. The finish does leave a spice kick (white pepper, cinnamon & nutmeg) that I wasn’t anticipating, but is still great. The end is short and tannic (dry), a sensation I mostly enjoy in wine, but pleasant in this profile. Notes: cooked agave, butter, prune, grapes, cherries, berry, dried fruit, grapefruit, orange, licorice, baking spices, raisins, mineral. Price: slightly overpriced at $75+ Lot 3 - 86

Aroma is fruity, grassy, and sweet. Agave in the middle of the bouquet. Flavor is agave, citrus, brown sugar, and mineral. Well balanced and full bodied.

1st Lote aged 29 days #Lote 172 Aroma: Cinnamon and spice. Anise and vanilla Fruity, apple, plum and ripe berries. Flavor: A mineral spritz to the palate. Agave, almond, licorice. Subtle pepper that gains traction as it opens up. A rich buttery/salty feeling on the tongue. A very easy sipper - but still has enough going on to hold your attention. The brief barreling in Bordeaux casks creates an enigmatic profile. The total package works. Finish: Short but pleasant. A hint of tannic bitterness.
