Strong lactic and plastic nose, not a fan. Flavor is better with some earth, agave, and brine. Tasted and rated this blind.

My favorite expression for Chamucos line up

On the nose, lactic Funk. Immediate grassy, almost cheesy funk. Very reminiscent of those malolactic notes from the Cazcanes joven. Sweet cooked agave, minerals, some baking spice like clove. A touch of vanilla, and some salinity. On the palate, just wow. That’s an immediate kick to the face. This definitely lets you know you’re drinking high proof. Tons of flavor, overwhelming at first. Then the notes start coming through, cooked agave, some green olive. A little bit wet earth, some spiciness and a light hint of that lactic note from the nose but nowhere near as prominent. Very full bodied, oily, and a little overwhelming on the flavor profile. Solid. That heat just comes with the very intense flavor profile I suppose, definitely lives up to the brand name! I would recommend this to somebody who likes high proofs. If you can find it in that $55 range or even cheaper, you’d be golden. I’d probably add another point to value for every $3-4 knocked off the price.

Wow! Agave monster. This packs a punch. So much agave on the nose. This is delicious stuff and not for the faint of heart but if you love pure agave and high proofs, this is definitely one to try. Wow tongue numbing

Nose: A big wallop of sweet ripe agave, reminiscent of being at a distillery during the last part of the cooking process. It is an aroma that stays with you. There is a bold barnyard, lactic undercurrent laced with minerality and earth. Some briney olive notes and a touch of smoke. This has a very dynamic nose. Flavor: An eye watering assault of finely ground fresh pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Full on agave goodness with a nice viscosity. The barnyard and earthy minerals carry into the palate. This explosive tequila is not for the faint of heart. Finish: This Diablo struts its stuff, finishing with pepper heat, honey like agave mouth feel, some final anise - and a reminder that it is 55% ABV!

Vegetal aroma, some mushroom, and earth. Agave, minerals, olive flavor. Thick mouth feel. Pretty nice!

Wow!! Quite oily in the mouth with little to no filtering as is apparent in the texture and chewiness of this high proof blanco. Interesting profile with some sweet initially and some slight vegetal bitter/sourness in the finish. It works. Did I mention 55% ABV?

We’ve got the funk ! Nothing but that funk! Wow, nose is good. Flavor punch to the mouf.. agave, buttery sweetness , supacalofragavelistic funk, brine, pepper and some heat….long a$$ finish that is underwhelming.

This one tastes like peanut butter to me. The name is awesome too, Chamucos is such a fun word to say. I understand what people mean when they say this one is funky, but it’s not off putting to me, it just means they did something different (I don’t know what) with the fermentation. I really like how it’s something different, and the 55% doesn’t taste like 55%. It’s complex but significantly more complex than something truly complex, and it’s not light, it’s sweet, almost savory with a very full flavor and mouthfeel. I think this would make an incredible Paloma.

Nose: pepper, apples, little bit funky, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the ethanol. There’s no hiding that this is 110 proof. Taste: strong agave, cinnamon, butter, caramel, ethanol. Finish: long finish like anything high proof, getting a little bit of that funk again at the end Bottom line: It scores heavy on value at only $55 and I also find it exceptionally unique. Definitely a great addition to anyone’s collection and especially if you like high proof blancos. Personally, the 110 proof takes away some enjoyment for me so I’ll probably add some water to this in the future. There’s some really pleasant flavors but wow it’s a bit overwhelming.

Pepper agave sweet medium finish good

Very lactic and green on the nose. If you dig the lactic smell and taste you will dig this…I love it! Lactic and green on taste, with some peppery alcohol heat. Decent finish. I scored this for just under $50 and am super happy with it.

Funky, lactic aromas - love that. Flavors... camembert, roasted agave and martini olive and white chocolate. Great high proof blanco.

Heavy heavy lactic funk. If you dig that, this is for you. I prefer a clean blanco

Not overly complex but big flavors on this high proof. Very earthy and vegetal but still pleasantly sweet.

On the nose I smelled a ton of butterscotch, vanilla and maybe honey? The tasting was a little tough, because there was a lot going on. Pepper, heat, herbal and honey-vanilla all at once. It’s not muddled, it’s surprisingly fresh. The finish seems to die all at once, but that might be because it jumps out all at once. Would recommend.

barnyard

This one is really unique - roasted agave, cinnamon and subtle fruit undertones with a super long finish
