There are only 2 Mixtos I’d recommend, this one and El Tequileño. This was a brand that was already being made when Enrique bought the distillery so they kept it in production. No additives and tastes better than many 100% agave mass produced tequilas.
Smells like caramelized sugar and vanilla. A bit flat for taste, perhaps the aroma was just overpowering. I really don’t get a lot of oak influence but it also loses a lot of the agave personality from the Blanco. It’s ok.
Smells like whip cream and dark chocolate, kinda reminds me of Black Forest cake. Toasted coconut, brown sugar, slight bitterness. A good Tequila.

A 70/30 mixto from pedigreed La Tequileña. $165 pesos per liter. Nose: A faint floral note greets, with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla following up. A touch of minerals and an uncomplicated oak note. Flavor: Fruity agave. Round vanilla and mellow barrel spices. White pepper punch and a floral/perfume like flavor. Decent mouth feel. Finish doesn’t bring out any new surprises, but overall, a well crafted mixto.
Nice agave forward blanco from Tequileña.
