I’m a fan of that funk!

Strong lactic and plastic nose, not a fan. Flavor is better with some earth, agave, and brine. Tasted and rated this blind.

Pepper agave sweet medium finish good tried again 11/2023 at Mi Tierra this bottle had some funk, mostly on the nose, that I don't remember getting with my last tasting

My favorite expression for Chamucos line up

On the nose, lactic Funk. Immediate grassy, almost cheesy funk. Very reminiscent of those malolactic notes from the Cazcanes joven. Sweet cooked agave, minerals, some baking spice like clove. A touch of vanilla, and some salinity. On the palate, just wow. That’s an immediate kick to the face. This definitely lets you know you’re drinking high proof. Tons of flavor, overwhelming at first. Then the notes start coming through, cooked agave, some green olive. A little bit wet earth, some spiciness and a light hint of that lactic note from the nose but nowhere near as prominent. Very full bodied, oily, and a little overwhelming on the flavor profile. Solid. That heat just comes with the very intense flavor profile I suppose, definitely lives up to the brand name! I would recommend this to somebody who likes high proofs. If you can find it in that $55 range or even cheaper, you’d be golden. I’d probably add another point to value for every $3-4 knocked off the price.

Wow! Agave monster. This packs a punch. So much agave on the nose. This is delicious stuff and not for the faint of heart but if you love pure agave and high proofs, this is definitely one to try. Wow tongue numbing

Nose: A big wallop of sweet ripe agave, reminiscent of being at a distillery during the last part of the cooking process. It is an aroma that stays with you. There is a bold barnyard, lactic undercurrent laced with minerality and earth. Some briney olive notes and a touch of smoke. This has a very dynamic nose. Flavor: An eye watering assault of finely ground fresh pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Full on agave goodness with a nice viscosity. The barnyard and earthy minerals carry into the palate. This explosive tequila is not for the faint of heart. Finish: This Diablo struts its stuff, finishing with pepper heat, honey like agave mouth feel, some final anise - and a reminder that it is 55% ABV!

Vegetal aroma, some mushroom, and earth. Agave, minerals, olive flavor. Thick mouth feel. Pretty nice!

Wow!! Quite oily in the mouth with little to no filtering as is apparent in the texture and chewiness of this high proof blanco. Interesting profile with some sweet initially and some slight vegetal bitter/sourness in the finish. It works. Did I mention 55% ABV?

Has that nice smell and taste that i guess we call “funk”. If you are into that sort of thing then it will definitely grow on you and have yourself reaching for that bottle when looking at you’re choices. Still proofs are my favorite due to the thick oily/agave forward feel.

Cooked agave with strong pepper and green flavors. Loads of citrus and punch in the face of strong still tequila! Fucking love this tequila and would pay over $100 for it!

Silky texture, slightly peppery finish

Grass, mulch black cherry

2nd Night: The aroma evokes a distinctive funk reminiscent of animal stalls, particularly resembling the essence of a hog's pen, intertwined with notes of tobacco leaf. Upon tasting, an initial surge of ethyl heat is felt, gradually intensifying before mingling with inhaled air to reveal a fiery combination of anise and honey that stings the throat. Additional layers of flavor unfold, including hints of peppermint, Red Hots cinnamon candy, caramelized white sugar, lemon citrus, cherry, and a vegetal pepperiness reminiscent of a habanero pepper. The tasting conclusion is notable with evaporating heat, accompanied by a faint sweetness of honey and lingering pepperiness. The sensation of minerality and tingling ethyl is noted, while the initial presence of anise fades into the background.

Similar to the 80 proof, getting a purple grape thing going on. Like a grape soda. No extra ethanol on smell which is good. On taste, much sweeter than the regular blanco. There's funk. Maybe a touch of cheese and anise. Very nice legs - silky mouthfeel. This is one of the few tequilas that has a very different profile.

It was delicious, high proof with a funk, especially in the aroma. At this price point, it's a bargain.

This is the most unique bottle I've gotten so far. It's a bit hot on the front end but mellows after 30+ minutes in the glass. The agave is present right from the start and so is that incredible lactic funk. There is virtually no sweetness. The aroma is all funk and olivey brine. The flavors mirror the aroma but mellow a bit. There is a bit of a faint banana note and something that reminds me of cashew milk along with just the hint of eucalyptus. The finish is fairly middle of the road in terms of length. The mouth feel is silky/oily. This was the first pour out of the bottle so it will change as it aerates and breathes a bit. Quick update: I just had a 1oz pour over a huge block of ice and it's really opened up this Blanco in ways I didn't expect. The heat is toned way down. The funky aroma didn't change but seems more pungent. The raw agave flavor really popped even more on the front end and it's slightly sweet and buttery now. There's also some mint and herbs coming through like rosemary and basil. The finish is medium but now the lingering flavor is the agave and the lactic funk. This is the way to go with a high proof beast like this.

Agave, mineral, grass

Drinks hot. Not for everyone, but if a rich blanco with hints of funky Gorgonzola and green olives suits you, it’s a winner. I quite like it.

Whew- it’s aroma says- hey- you want some alcohol- come taste me. The taste is powerful- Agave stacked with alcohol- has a kick with a strong burn. You can tell they put it straight into a bottle. Quality is there….basil…anise…alcohol.

The aroma is spicy with cooked agave. Brine, bananas, and lactic in the flavors. The finish is hot with some olive, grass, and smoke. This is a good tequila, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone just starting out on a tequila adventure.

One of my go to high proofs. Creamy & oily mouthfeel with heavy heat that finishes with a mint & anise.

Very disappointed in this. Was expecting more.

Ahhh…the lovely smell of pungent cheese! The silky texture with heat! This high proof Blanco is amongst my favorite. Mainly because of unique smell which I have grown to love. As well as the heat that I enjoy. Makes me feel stronger with a small sip!

We’ve got the funk ! Nothing but that funk! Wow, nose is good. Flavor punch to the mouf.. agave, buttery sweetness , supacalofragavelistic funk, brine, pepper and some heat….long a$$ finish that is underwhelming.
