This blanco tequila offers a subtle aroma, a light agave flavor, but the profile is disappointingly flat. It lacks complexity, presenting a simple and raw agave taste with minimal bittersweet nuances, falling short of delivering a more intricate drinking experience.
No agave at all in the aroma. Slight citrus and floral notes but mostly nothing. Short black pepper bite in the flavor and that’s about all. The regular reposado didn’t have much in the aroma or flavor and clearly the filtration to get the claro removed just about everything that was there. Finish is short. The standard reposado isn’t great and this is worse. I will never understand the reasoning behind filtering these aged tequilas just to get them clear. 05/11/2022
Aroma is discreet with caramel most prominent. Also, a bit of cooked agave and maybe some mint. Flavor is most caramel with just a little peppery spice. The finish is very short. Overall, this isn’t bad but it also isn’t good…just blah. 05/11/2022
The Miami headquarters of the tequila company owned by Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, who is under investigation for her ties to drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has been abandoned for months, a Mexican newspaper reported.
Prosecutors in Mexico have formally asked Kate del Castillo, the actress who founded Tequila brand Honor Del Castillo, to testify over alleged financial links with the notorious drugs fugitive El Chapo, according to reports.
Mexican actress Kate del Castillo has a new tequila brand, “Honor del Castillo.”
Nose: vanilla/ cinnamon/ chocolate/ butter / banana/melon / peach / citrus / lime / agave / anise / tea / hint of spearmint/ nutmeg Taste: anise / artificial vanilla / cinnamon/ agave cooked / banana/ apple / melon/ citrus fruit / tea / spearmint / alcohol/ cream soda / artificial sweeteners Finish: a viscous not syrupy mouthfeel is decent but the lingering sweetener and possibly fake vanilla just run this ship aground. There’s a bitterness after all the sweet. This blanco seems to have just enough artificial sweetener and vanilla to make it not too good. But the nose is very good….if like artificial vanilla.
