Aroma of old school blancos with agave forward. Some light spices but bot alot more. Flavor is smooth and a bit watery/light due to 40% but it still holds its own. Tastes like it could be Mijenta's older step brother with less vanilla.

Part of a tasting with Fortaleza and Tequileño Platinum and it really held its own. Very earthy and I got distinct notes of freshly cut grass and herbs. Good but I prefer other options at this price range.

Cotton candy…. (Tasted at a bar, need to revisit)

Agave and funk on the nose. Tastes good with agave, fruit, bitters. Short dry finish.

A nice blanco, light citrus & pepper. Slight heat

Very good and light sipper, and just a tad bit earthy Nose- agave, light vanilla, citrus, cinnamon Taste-Lots of agave up front with some citrus and fruit. Little vanilla, mint, and pepper that lingers on the tongue well after it goes down. Very nice

This is an old bottle I found in my collection recently. Bottle #1304. It’s perfectly intact and time has had any affecting it. Nose is old school Blanco. Only agave. Mid palate is balanced. A bit of natural sweetness. The finish is very pleasant. Roasted agave fills my mouth. A small bit of welcoming heat. I wish it would linger a bit longer.

Nose: nice cooked agave, wet rocks, ripe banana, hint of vanilla. Flavor: sugar cane, black pepper, banana and vanilla. Finish: long and the cooked agave shows up and ends with some light spice

Nose: Pure, crisp agave nose. Freshly harvested agave and cooked agave. No overly sweet or overbearing vanilla notes sometimes found at #1480. Wet rocks, potting soil and trace wet wood aromas. There is some background spice and light pepper trying to emerge. Flavor: Be prepared for a spirited black pepper and salt start. The subsequent sips bring creamy agave and a kitchen cabinet full of spiciness. Sits nicely on the palate, but with plenty of boldness. Finish: Lengthy and punchy finish. This tequila has character.

Too much vanilla syrup for me

$9 neat at Picante. Peppery and alcohol to start, lots of cooked and uncooked agave, banana, grapes and citrus. Aroma; light on the nose with little uncooked agave, banana, cinnamon, peppermint, and butter. Finish short with alcohol and pepper notes, banana and butter tones .

Clean, crisp blanco. All the right notes and flavors are present. Immense agave, peppery and spicy with a very clean finish. Outstanding blanco.

Tons of agave from start to finish, the initial smell takes me straight to a distillery floor. Really great stuff, I highly recommend!

Great apple crisp note. Mixed well. Great blanco.

Crisp pepper, very little nose. Extremely clean finish

Damn fine Blanco

Fruit nose pepper taste smooth. Will have to revisit this one.

Relatively subtle aroma showing cooked agave and vegetal aroma primarily with undertones of flowers, brine and a bit of black pepper. The flavor begins simply with a bit of the vegetal taste and the builds to a full, spice flavor - cinnamon, peppermint. The finish is long and smooth. A great blanco sipper...one of my favorites.

Rated blind after aeration. Medium legs. Bright and clear. Nose of baked agave, banana, fresh mint, and butter. Can feel the alcohol in the sinuses when inhaled deeply. Slightly oily. Flavors match aromas, slightly sweet. The spice is felt across the top and side of tongue as well as upper front-of-mouth. Small burn down the throat, but not in an unpleasant way—more of a continuation of what's happening in the mouth rather than a separate experience. The spice lasts almost a minute, the other flavors slightly longer, ends dry. Purchased at Old Town Liquor $43 (.60)

Incredible mouth feel, warm and oily. I could drink this all night long.

The aroma presents as surprisingly soft, showcasing fresh agave with a robust minerality and a subtle grassiness. Notes of light walnut, vanilla, and a hint of floral essence add depth, with a subtle bite of ethyl pepperiness. On the palate, the taste experience is precise and well-balanced. Distinct minerality and cooked agave take center stage, accompanied by sweet coconut, vanilla, and a touch of grassiness. Delectable flavors of candied yam and succulent cooked pineapple further enrich the palate, while a tingly pepperiness complements and enhances the overall sweetness. In the fading dry down, the palate reveals lingering notes of cooked agave, freshness, and a hint of brine. The persistent pepperiness, present from start to finish, enhances the overall tasting experience, mingling with a fading vanilla note to create a cohesive conclusion.

just an observation if we're going for that "organic" rating why the artificial fork?

Aroma is beautiful agave with pepper- butter- anise- vanilla. Taste- is agave- earth- pepper- anise- velvety smooth that leaves a nice wetness.

Excellent flavor and organic. This was my go to for most of 2022, but the price went from $45 a bottle to almost $60, so I moved to Dulce Vida which is fantastic - all three expressions. Check that out if this is too rich for your blood.
