This is a well known budget additive free tequila. At one time, I think it was worthy of a top budget recommendation now, I think there are several in its price that are better.

Aroma/Taste: Bursting with cooked agave and zesty citrus, complemented by earthy notes of wet leaves, mushrooms, and hints of lemongrass and dill. The palate offers a complex blend of cooked agave, wet earth, mushrooms, olive, black tea, bell pepper, and a refreshing touch of mint. Finish: A satisfying warmth with lingering pepper and jalapeno notes. Overall: Tasted blind, an earthy delight for tequila lovers, offering a nuanced and enjoyable sipping experience.

Nose: First impression gives a stronger, more pungent, more funk driven aroma. Vegetive, almost as if earthy meets zesty. Notes of asparagus, green olive, artichoke, and mushroom. Palate: Agave driven, overall very balanced. Citrusy notes and vegetal notes combine here. Notes of agave, black pepper, and lemongrass.

TMM additive free blanco blind tasting kit. Aroma: crushed red chili pepper flakes, artichoke, hint of mint, there’s a savory quality that I can’t put my finger on. Reminds me a bit of salsa as odd as that is. Flavor: subtle sweet citrus notes, somewhat earthy and mineral, mesquite like as well. Sweetness form the agave picks up as I get through the glass. Medium body. Short finish. Not much burn.

Nose: Soft pleasant agave that is there but doesn’t jump out of the glass. The earthiness comes through as it opens up along with vegetal and herbal mixed together. The fruity undertone is a very nice touch. Flavor: Similar to the nose, good agave, nice fruit (mainly tropical), with an herbal sweetness. Less earthy than on the nose and comes in on the finish. Overall, $23 for a 750ml for a solid non additive blanco is very solid. I’m excited to try this out in some cocktails

An excellent value mixer! Cooked agave sweetness paired with an earthy funk to it and hints of citrus. For the price point it’s a great option

Known as a tequila mixer but you can sip on this baby too. Very, very impressed with the quality at this price point!

Very interesting nose of olives and perspiration. Has that cabbage funk you sometimes get from certain distilleries. Very herbal flavor. Mushrooms. Peppers. This would be really nice with Italian or Greek food in a pairing. Not my favorite as a straight sipper and could be a bit too herbal for citrus based cocktails.

Aroma:Soft agave,bananas,dried fruit (mango), chocolate, alcohol, nuts,brine honey Taste: Same as aroma, alcohol taste more pronounced reminds me of caramelized onions. Pineapple notes,pepper,red apple, nutty, citrus, grassy,earthy. The finish is peppery and citrus tangy.

The bottle has this crazy Christmas fruitcake aroma, it’s not so evident in the glass but very unique. Taste and aftertaste are on the sweet side, there is a confectionary quality that will appeal to a lot of consumers. I place this as a good sipper or an elite well product.

had previously rated and adjusted based on tmm blinds apr 2024. I used to really like Cimarron for cocktails and infusions but it's gotten too funky for me now nose: malalactic, pickles?!? some sweet agave, pepper nice legs palate: agave, some pepper, not a lot of heat, subtle with a mild sweetness (less sweet than nose) with some alcohol

This is a solid Blanco for the price. Nice diversity of flavors but not particularly sweet and a little on the thin side for me.

I dont love the nose on this tequila, likely because the alcohol comes through strong, but the flavor profile is great Cinnamon, baking spice and burnt oak flavors Great value. Its not as agave forward as higher end tequilas, so i can see this getting boring, but awesome value additive free Blind: Simple nose. Crisp, dry, a hint of minerality Taste is super unique. There is a piece of this that tastes like barbecue which i have never had - i hope im not crazy The finish is literally barbecue rub. Wow I revisited this to make sure i am not crazy and the barbecue flavor is still there. Wow this is unique

hint of lactic acid but not overwhelming, vegetal notes on nose nice, oily feel in mouth, baking spices detected finish hits at top of throat, smooth warmth but leaves quickly

Not much of a sipper but an amazing well made Blanco for your cocktails!

Aroma is muted agave with very scant floral and pine scents. Flavor better than anticipated. May not end up being a sipper but is right on the borderline. Can't beat the value especially for additive free.

Nose- Agave, clay, citrus, faint alcohol Taste- Sweet cooked agave, butter, cinnamon, brine, and some earthy and vegetal notes Mouth feel- medium bodied and perfectly oily Finish- the sweet flavors drop off almost immediately. Some peppery alcohol heat lingers but not long enough. Value- I know my review reads like I didn't like it but I absolutely did. This Blanco was strange and wonderful but it fell just short of epic. That being said it's only $25 for a liter in Michigan making this one of the all time great values in agave. It just dethroned Azteca Azul as my go-to budget brand.

Need to revisit… tried at a bar

Another solid product from NOM 1146. Great budget mixer that is hard to beat for $16. Not my first choice to sip but wouldn't turn it down either.

I’m not a column still tequila guy, but with no additives, low pressure auto clave and the price can’t be beat. Great flavor profile and it’s NOM 1146. For the win

Cooked agave on the nose. Some baking spice. Some light pear aromas. Nice cooked agave. More baking spice flavor. A little light citrus and pear again. Some green pepper and vegetal. Nice tingle and just enough bite. Finish has a nice cooked agave presence. Not super long but it’s nice with a good tingle. I like this a lot. Not super complex but really great flavors all around. I can sip it neat or put it in a cocktail. And for less than $30 per liter it’s an absolute steal. This is one to keep stocked for any occasion.

Aroma of agave, olive and lactic—almost blue cheesy. Taste is best part full of ripe agave. Finish is ok. Super great value for 1 liter $22. Bought so I can infuse jalapeños with tequila.

This a very standard, run of the mill blanco. The flavor profile is basic and inoffensive, with some sweet cooked agave, spicy white pepper, alongside some earth and vegetal notes. From a budget standpoint this tequila is a very strong contender. I got this 1 L bottle for $23 (an equivalent $17.25 for 750 mL), which is less expensive than other budget brands I typically see like Olmeca Altos or Tres Agaves. Not to mention Cimarron seems to have a richer, more traditional flavor. This can easily compete with bottles you might see in the 40 dollar range.

Nose: Fresh Agave, lemon grass, minerals Taste: Agave, Pepper, Vegetal, Spice, Mint, slight alcohol and an agave sweetness on the tail end. Finish: Its a mouthfull of flavors with a nice long peppery finish. It drinks like a higher proof for a 40 abv tequila. It's an agave forward earthy spicy tequila. I dig it! This flavor profile is perfect for me and that’s why it earned high marks. It’s $22 a liter so that also helped. ¡Salud!

Agave forward with an earthy finish
