LOT: 064-20 Blind tasting with: Centenario Plata, Hacienda de Tepa Blanco and Antiguo de Herradura Plata View: Totally transparent, tears that correspond to a distillate of this grade. Freshly served; Aroma: something chemical like acetone and a little astringency like wood. A little salty, but the most noticeable thing is definitely the chemical smell. Very unpleasant. Taste: The chemical taste is the same as the aroma, I have never tried acetone but I guess it tastes similar to this. No other outstanding flavor. A bit of lemon-like citrus. Very volatile and subtle aftertaste that goes away in a few seconds, a little citric like lemon peel. I let it rest for 10 minutes to open aromas and flavors. Aroma: The aroma remains the same. Taste: I think it got worse. This is an offence to the palate.

Rough smell. Very astringent. Unpalatable to sip. Okay in margarita mix.

Lote: L05821, bottled on 07-08-2021, Mexican 35% abv. version, tasted on 10-7-23. Aroma: light sweet cooked agave, light anise, light acidity, a touch of citrus, after 15 minutes in the glass a hint of orange peel emerges. Palate: light cooked agave, light black pepper, pretty bland compared to the nose, thin. Finish is short, I can feel a very light note of cooked agave with a touch of pepper in my mouth.

Overall a pretty lousy tequila on its own. It’s a good tequila for mixing drinks but definitely not a sipping tequila.

Obviously not designed to be sipped and it should not be. The smell is repulsive and burns the nose. Taste is like a chemist tried to replicate a tequila. Strong alcohol and medicinal flavor. Finish is the worst part.

Already a bad start with alcohol burn on the nose. Chemical masks some agave odour. More going on in the aroma than the taste. Bitter and flavourless. Got this as a gift; only reason I'm tasting it.

only good for simple low end mixed drinks

Like any mass market blanco, this might as well be sold as Mexican vodka. No redeeming qualities whatsoever other than a strong alcoholic burn and a smell that reminds you why you quit drinking the stuff. Might be suitable as lighter fluid or motor fuel in an E85 vehicle, if you can up the alcohol content.

You’d probably be better off drinking bog water. Find something decent.

A few shots of this in college made me think I hated tequila for years until I finally tried something passable. Avoid at all costs!
