NEW Caballito Cerrero Blue Weber (No 'el') 'Distillate' - Freakin Amazing. It has a Mezcal presence, but made just like a tequila is made. no CRT affiliation. This has it all
Simply fucking magical!
This is for the Blanco 46 made with Chato agave, so not technically “tequila.” Huge nose and deeply complex. Super smoky. Drinks like a refined mezcal. Tons of vegetal notes on nose and palate. Green peppercorns on the (long) finish. This brand is something special and I worry about its future.
Old Colored Label Caballito I can’t get enough of this nose - it is loaded with fruity, jammy and floral notes. Big agave aroma with a distinct punch of peach. A hint of citrus and dill. Cooked artichoke hearts. Flavors: Zingy brown spices, oily brown sugar coating my mouth with pepper and alcohol making an appearance too. Still tons of fruit, and a hint of a funky cellar. Finish: All of the above treats, plus pepper heat and lingering almond notes.
New label bottle that is just opened. Roasted and caramelized agave on the nose along with less sharpness with this at 40% abv. Blooms in the mouth and tastes like some naturally sweet agave candy . Fades to lingering sweetness and some alcohol buzz. I like this quite a bit.
Scent of roasted agave, yams, mint, citrus blossom, black peppercorn. Slightly sweet, oily mouth feel. Green tea, cinnamon, mint finish.
Bright aromas of agave, orange blossoms and anise contrast nicely with earthy, wet, leafy aromas. The flavor is more straight forward: loads of roast agave and tons of anise. Nice, warming finish. NB: this is the original Caballito Cerrero (NOM 1114, Amatitán). Good luck finding it!
LOT: CC06-05 View: Completely transparent, good tear adhesion. Freshly served; Aroma: Very citrus and astringent, a little lactic. I even seem to find blue cheese. Light mineral. Mint and freshness. Flavor: Very peculiar, perhaps even spicy. Mineral that adheres to the palate and stays for a while, almost “sticky”. Citrus astringency like lemon peel and raw agave. Very herbal and “green”. I let it oxygenate and rest for 20 minutes. Aroma: It is still very citrusy and gives me smoky profiles that remind me a little of mezcal. Mineral, a little salty. Flavor: Citrus and spicy, with a “thin” flavor. Black pepper.
Smells of butterscotch, creamy and vanilla. A bit smoky in flavor. Agave flavor. A bit harsh with the booziness. Had at the Tasting Room in PV on Oct 1, 2023.
In PV at the Tasting Room. Descendants of the Herradura folk. Earthy agave with a little heat. Nice mouthfeel with spicy agave which heats up in back into finish. But the heat of the finish clears fast and doesn’t linger. So nice heat.
Taste like a bar of soap but in a good way
Este es el mejor Tequila Blanco de todo el mundo, No tengo nada mas que decir. Me gusta mas azul 40 que azul 46 por que lo siento mas calmado, menos alcohol para mi paladar, sin embargo he probado este mismo en 50 grados y el alcohol ni siequiera se siente en el sabor, esta tan bien echo que es puro disfrute, lo malo es que puedes agarrar vuelo y no te das cuenta que llevas media botella, por lo que recomiendo tomar las graduaciones arriba de 50 grados con precaucion, puse este azul 40 en una cata a ciegas a lado de mucho grandes tequilas como Fuenteseca 2018 y muchos de los mejores que aqui estan en el Top y el Caballito Cerrero les gano a todos, solamente esta abajo de Calle 23 Criollo, ahorita imposible de encontrar, el unico error que le encuentro a este Tequila es que no hay manera de rastrear el batch o de entenderlo por lo que no puedes saber que año es o que batch es para asegurarte de encontrar la misma botella, y tambien he encontrado que si hay diferencia entre batches una misma botella de azul 40 del 2019 puede saber diferente a una azul 40 de 2022. Sin embargo aun asi no tiene comparacion o al menos a mi paladar nunca encontre algo que supiera mejor que el azul 40 del 2019 creo que ese era el año xq la compre en el 2020, el sabor es increíble, y al dia siguiente te levantas hasta de buen humor y todavia con el sabor del Caballito Cerrero cero cruda la sensacion te dura todo el dia, es una experiencia maravillosa y un Tequila totalmente espectacular, vale 100% la pena y si lo compras y no experimentas lo mismo que yo, probablemente no es el batch correcto, pero te sugiero que sigas intentando y espero que algun dia lo encuentres por que ellos absolutamente saben hacerlo y lo tienen ahí.
Don’t use the name tequila. Don’t follow regulations
Super impressed with this blanco! I really have never been a blanco fan (I guess I’ve never had any that have convinced me before this!). Very complex, smooth drinking, and a good feel in your mouth. We’ve been struggling to find this anywhere and came across it in a tasting bar in Puerto Vallarta.
Wow, I have never tasted a a blanco like this, I mean don’t know what to say almost taste like there’s something else going on here. Still like it because it’s so different. Aroma: super sweet like baked yams and toasted coconut maybe some graham cracker Taste: toasted graham crackers maybe s’mores and baked yams again; sweet there is some burn but not typical pepper like burn; I bet this will be a great mixer has a lot of character Finish: not much burn; little numbing and sweetness
pickles? dill, olive, briny. I really enjoyed this. Was quite different for me!
Tasted the Azul 50 abv and it was phenomenal. A lot of minerality and very strong cooked agave notes in it. Citrus and herbal on the nose. Definitely one of the best high proofs out there if not the best.
cooked agave, citrus, grass, pepper, orange pith,
Excellent! A must try for tequila fans.
This is amazing! I honestly never thought tequila could smell and taste like this. I’m getting all these briny notes. On the nose I get olive brine, spices, chilli, agave. The palate is a bit more straightforward: bitter in a very nice way. The finish is long and sweeter. Overall, an experience that no tequila and mezcal aficionado should miss. Also, the story behind this distillery and its f*ck you attitude towards CRT is awesome.
Very unique. Nose hits you with sweeeeeet strong agave, this is certainly not your usual tequila. Its got a very nice smoky, acetone, cheese funk that all somehow come together. It’s very good, vegetal and clay and a weird sweet pepper complimented by beautiful oily legs. I’m glad I finally stumbled upon this, muchas gracias Quinta Don Jose!
Mineral flavor from spring water
Raw, Real, Earth Power! 3.5 out of 4 Bodyslams!
A smokey aroma at first almost like a true mezcal with a hint of fruit/berries. A nut and berry mix on the tongue. Crisp clean finish. Again a hint of smoke on the aftertaste.
The 12 finalists are tequilas that offer vibrant and varied aromas and flavors with good texture and a pleasing aftertaste.
