Long Island Lou gets real about the full Padre Azul lineup.
This blanco left me confused. Right off the bat, the nose was off-putting having an overwhelming note of sex wax, as if I walked into a Ron Jon’s surf shop. I also found coconut, suntan lotion, an intense cheesy funk, and an artificial fruit I couldn’t put my finger on somewhere between a dragonfruit & a strawberry. The palate was admittedly better, but it still tasted altered to fit a certain “tropical” cheesy profile. The finish left my palate with a bitter sugar cookie note that I did not like. The gaudy bottle is a bit of an eye sore too. Padre Azul clearly took inspiration from the early 2000’s fashion trends of Affliction with a hefty skull top to boot.
