Tried neat at a restaurant for USD10. Poured into a small wine glass. Nose: very faint, perhaps due to glassware used. Flavor: agave, some yeast, light fruitiness. Pleasing and light. Unoffensive.

Aroma : Bright cooked agave, light fruit, grass, and black pepper. Taste : Medium bodied with agave, cinnamon, and citrus predominating. There are some undertones of earth and pepper too. Finish : Medium length with a bit more cinnamon and pepper spice. Good stuff, I'm happy to finally find a bottle of this.

Aroma: butter, mint, earth, grass, anise, sweet tropical fruits, yeast, herbal, agave. Palate: sweet agave, spring water, lemon balm, allspice, olives, tobacco, anise, white pepper, vanilla, mint, alcohol. Finish med-long with black pepper, green peppers, cucumbers, lime and spices.

I found a vegetal, sweet cooked agave nose with light pepper, light anise, fruit, light smoke and citrus. Taste of earth, citrus, sweet argave, pepper, fruit, not too smooth and it's right where you want actequila to be.

Alcohol forward on the nose, hints of sweet grass and citrus. Sweet up front, agave forward flavor, and a bit of heat Smooth sweet finish.

Agave forward nose as well as taste, on point for a blanco. Finish lingers nicely.

This review is partial review and partial contrast to the Siembra Valles. The Siembra Azul has a slightly better nose. There is more of the green agave and less of the mineral. The taste is brighter and crisper. There is more citrus but plenty of agave. The finish is about the same, excellent. I rated the Siembra Azul slightly higher but both are wonderful choices. Salud!

I would have rated this a bit higher if I didn't have to strain some floaters from the recently bought bottle. I thought at first it was some flock that had precipitated out in the less than 60° F. storage area but it didn't disperse after shaking. I filtered the whole bottle and it hasn't returned. This blanco is on par with 7 Leguas or Tapatio or Herencia Mexicana as far as agave fruit and white pepper on the tongue and in the mouth. More info on the label than even Ocho, listing yeast and distillation notes.

Tasted blind after aeration. Smells of alcohol, green agave, and an initial hit of rubber that dissipates after opening up. Clear in the glass, with slow legs and few pearls. Medium body in the mouth with a spicy entry. Flavor of grass and butter. It's spicy with the slightest sweetness. The spice lingers nicely, but it's not as big as the entry. This is nice, an enjoyable sipper, but for $46 there are better options out there.

Cinnamon, mint, cooked agave and pepper aromas with a focused cinnamon flavor.

Agave Spice ,Oily Mouth Feel & A Dry Pepper Finish

A: full agave. Pine. White pepper. Slight to slight plus fragrance of rock candy F: small level of smoke & cooked agave. Very gentle ethanol (almost want more ethanol note). A eucalyptus or mint brightness. More white pepper. F: long lingering palate. No sensory near the throat. All that eucalyptus/mint. V: under $50. Great blanco. Excellent option and representation of the highlands. A must.

on the nose it is very fruity,fragrant like orange blossoms and cooked agave blend. very crisp and fresh tasting, light herbal notes. light ethanol scent on the palate you get that nice roasted agave with the boldness of the baking spices and the minerality that comes with the regions water. im really enjoying this sipper. bet it will make an awesome hard lemonade. the finish was also a delight, very easy to drink and left a nice mouth coat.. didn't expect this to finish so nice i am looking forward to adding more nom 1414 expression to my library.

Aroma: sweet almost suspiciously sweet. Flavor: very mellow and then builds; sweet Finish: decent not much heat or burn; medium finish length

Great aromatics, too clean finish.

Just a little week at the end for me

Straw color, so I’m curious to understand if this rested in a barrel (?). I’m trying this at a restaurant and will definitely buy a bottle. This is the kind of blanco you can easily drink while enjoying a meal.

Very good blonco. Tons of agave, citrus, little fruitiness with an high peppery finish.

The nose begins with a sweet agave burst, followed behind by lime and sweet fruit. This is pleasant in the mouth as it coats the palate heavily with a nice oil. This is good quality. The nose and palate are somehow independent of one another: the mouth has none of the tropical fruits the nose has and the nose has nowhere near the pepper the mouth has. It’s not rated higher only because it finishes a tad too fast. It’s still very good though. Well made, delicious!

Fantastic Blanco... one of my favorites. Nose: Agave, Lime... more Citrus. Mouthfeel: Very soft & creamy, I love it. Taste: Agave, Citrus, Sweet... very little bite but great finish.

Better than cascahiin. Light mouth feel. Smooth finish. Character On front

Fresh, lovely, and lively with notes of Cooked Agave, flowers, mango, pineapple, caramel, anise, grass, herbs, mint, citrus, vanilla, and a creamy mouthfeel

A solid bodied blanco. One of my favorites!!! Bold agave here!

Fruity. Lime and citrus on the aroma, sweet fruitiness that is a blend of pineapple and papaya on the palate. A unique and tasty blanco.

Bright and refreshing from nose through the palate. Roasted agave, floral, citrus and fruit. Sweet, but not overly so. Excellent!
