Late last year I had the pleasure of sampling Corrido Cristalino, and I was a huge fan of the tequila's complex flavor, writing that it is "nearly as perfect a blanco as you can get." When I was given the opportunity to taste the new Corrido single-barrel
During the time of U.S. Prohibition, the Corrido, a musical form of Mexican folklore, often honored the tequilero, or tequila smugglers, who gained popularity along the border. The "smugglers" of Corrido tequila are hoping for a similar popularity.
NOM 1412 | On the nose, a little bit of honey and butter, butterscotch, oak, and then agave. A fruity note and then something like iced tea, interestingly enough. A little Vanilla on the end. The agave comes through on the palate, definitely getting a little caramel and nice, round sweetness. A little bit of spice, some oak and some stone fruit, maybe apricot, but more of the seed than the fruit. The vanilla is subtle like on the nose. Very good Repo, a little pricy but good.
