Delicious! The aroma on this is friggen amazing. Creamy mouth and tasty as well. Nice middle ground of barrel impact—just a touch of sweet and wood balanced against the high proof agave, more than Lagrimas and some others but not too much. Pricey though.
Thanks Doc Bollinger!! Such an awesome tasting pre BAT! First Amor y Perros from the QDJ bar and then this absolute gem bought today in Tlaquepaque. Great bite on entry from the 45% ABV, this speaks to me from nose through finish. Interesting production process as have several other recent releases.
LOTE 384 120523 N- big agave, earth, peppercorn, lemon, herbs T- sweet cooked agave, anise, black pepper, herbs, jalapeno MF- oily yet thin? F- medium in length, peppery finish V- $58 out the door in Tennessee. I can't get this in Michigan so I gave it an average value.
this tequila is a blend of three expressions - cascahuin blanco, tahona blanco and plata 48, rested in American white oak barrels for 190 days and blended this is a very well-balanced, easy sipper nose: vanilla, orange, barrel spices, tropical fruit (? banana?), mild pepper palate: agave, vanilla, banana? mild pepper finish: medium with no bite but a nice warmth mouthfeel: silky 2900 pesos in Mexico (about 175 USD). i would have rated it higher if the cost was lower
The conversation has shifted to highlight producers that omit glycerin, sweeteners, and other additives in their product. But is additive-free the only indicator of quality?
Sorting through the options can be overwhelming, which is why we always opt to trust the experts. To get their take on a workhorse option, we asked bartenders to share with us their go-to tequilas.
An estimated 70 percent of all tequila contains undisclosed additives, like vanilla extract and aspartame. One couple is on a mission to change that.
The 12 finalists are tequilas that offer vibrant and varied aromas and flavors with good texture and a pleasing aftertaste.
Lou gives some mighty high praise for this affordable blanco tequila.
The team behind the Tequila Matchmaker have launched a “Verified Additive Free” program for tequila brands and distilleries. This is the first known independent, additive-free verification in the spirits world.
Largely dependent on U.S. bars and restaurants, Mexico’s craft distilleries are in trouble, and trying to find new ways to connect with consumers.
