Review should be for the Non 100% Agave expression

this anejo brings sweet hazelnut to the nose foreshadowing a dessert tequila on the pallet to come. extremely sweet on the tongue, rich in oak and small on pepper burn. a nice anejo for those seeking sweet drinks.

I’ll probably get eviscerated by the experts for this one, especially given that it’s not even 100% agave, but there’s just something about Celende a Repo that I love. It’s got the perfect amount of bite, and works beautifully in a robust cocktail. Try it with a strawberry-ginger syrup, lime juice and cayenne and your world will be rent asunder.

A decent silver for the price. It's one of the cheapest 100% agave silvers I have seen. It's actually smoother than I expected and is quite good in margaritas. I'm not sure I would buy this again unless it was one sale, but only because I would rather get the Calende anejo (Non 100% agave version costs the same but tastes better.) For a few dollars more there are other 100% agave options that are better. The nose isn't my favourite either, which is a bit tragic for a blanco to fail in this area. Despite my issues with this blanco, I still think it is a pretty good deal and I wouldn't hesitate to drink this in a margarita.

Best non-100% agave tequila I have ever had. It is drinkable straight; but I personally wouldn't. My suggestion is make margaritas with it for its bold taste. It costs less than Cuervo where I live and only $2 more than Sauza. It's a no-brainer to use this instead and impress guests with bold flavour margaritas. Had many comments on this and the 100% agave version in margaritas from guests who were wowed. For the price and non-100% agave category I highly recommend it over Sauza/Cuervo.
