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.

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!

One of my favorite blancos. Fruity agave nose with a balanced flavor profile of agave/citrus/white pepper. Love the sweet heat on the back of the throat!

It's so good it brings you to tears. Really in the nicest way. Feel like seeing a sunset in Miami knowing it's going to be a good night. Really well balanced and tasty!

One of the sweeter blancos I've tried. Absolutely love it! Strong presence of roasted agave accompanied by citrus, white pepper, and peppermint - hints of fruit and flowers. Aroma, flavor, and finish are all very consistent and balanced. This is some quality stuff! I also like all the details they put on the bottle.

A very nice, easy to sip blanco. Great for blanco noobies and curious spirit drinkers, but for the price ($38), I feel a bit of remorse. for me, it doesn't fit the bill of an everyday taster. but don't get me wrong, it's one of the more refreshing blanco's i've had. aroma: sweet fruity agave.. faint vegetal musk... faintest touch of cinnamon... caraway seed... pepper to round it. i flair my nostrils for maximum air flow (lol). i can wear this. flavor: peppery. faint sweetness that i find from NOM 1414 (like, manana brand). medium mouthfeel, minimal alcohol sizzle. body: cooked agave, cooked sugar sweetness (as in, sweet with faint caramelization), citrus, bright fruit. what a pleasure. well crafted, mouthwatering finish: slightly sweet agave and citrus, not much pepper linger. slight creaminess. although this creaminess can be sensed for a good minute, it's very faint, and is where I am yearning for more in this tequila. on a side commentary, if there was a touch of salinity or brine to finish, this would be in my flask. unfortunately, it gets docked for value. hopefully i will stumble upon a cheaper price in the future. I do admire their purveyor's demeanor and purported strides to educate the public. see their website. The bottle is well thought out, simple, and stands out for being so. If it were around $30, i'd keep it restocked for myself. at 38$, I'll keep it on hand for special guests and occasions.

Excellent aroma, great taste. I will try it again and again :)

The nose was fruity with distinct aroma of vanilla. Strong agave taste with some spice and a great finish.
