High proof characteristics show up immediately in the aroma - alcohol, slight petroleum note, and fresh, clean agave. Flavor shows a papery heat immediately but it is not an inferno of high-proof fire. Actually, the heat is tempered by a bit of sweet agave and the flavor lingers through a long finish. 07-05-2023

Aroma: Agave bomb, mineral, earthy, and caramelized sweetness, citrus potency, and white pepper. The aroma personality on this one is very complex and alcohol intensity is minimal. Taste: Heavy cooked agave that just coats your mouth instantly with a buttery texture while showcasing a crisp framework. The heat you will receive from this blanco is with a punch of flavor with notes of jalapeño, celery, bell pepper, anise and black pepper. The finish will have some astringency and aftertaste is very rich and leaves a harmonious lingering agave flavor with sweet baking spices.

This one is wild. N- baked agave, nutmeg, baking spices, brine, wet soil, very floral T- Caramelized agave, cinnamon, anise, pepper, nutmeg, faint alcohol M- medium bodied F- long cinnamon finish V- this was a free sample but based on the Michigan minimum pricing it's a bit on the expensive side. It is super unique though and if I was blindfolded I would have sworn it was a Reposado

This is an impressive new traditional project from Siempre that high proof lovers will enjoy. Nose: bright agave, fruit, minerals, whiff of hay, nice and clean with no overpowering alcohol you might fear from a 110 proof Blanco. Taste: sweet agave, salt water, jalapeño, long finish. I favor the fruity nose a tad more than the salty spicy flavor, but both are excellent. This was first taste, so I’m looking forward to returning for more and refining. Good stuff.

Bottle: L-B25012212, Bottle No. 1014/4626 Appearance: Clear Full review pending…

Open the bottle and sweet agave notes fill the air, layers of agave , for sure Tahona crushed, taste like cement tank, rich and a bit of heat. Long rich agave bomb finish

Agave, some brine and some pepper all come together in this high proof effort. There is also a touch of fruit and an even smaller hint of anise. This is smooth and enjoyable.

Brine and salt with dinner anise. May not be fair everyone but a solid high proof sipper.

Siempre Blanco $89 USD (Sip Tequila) 2023 Bottle 1004 Summary: Enjoyable and easy to sip for a high proof blanco. A beautiful bottle to boot. Reminiscent of Atanasio's and Laud's blanco. Losses some points on affordability. I'd say this needs to be a $25-$35 cheaper to make it part of my regular rotation. Nose: Impressive. Cooked agave with earth, fruity, sweet, vegetal, herbaceous and spices notes.  White pepper and anise are at the forefront along with a pleasant mushroom-yeastiness that you find in wet earth.  The fruit comes across as dried fruit or perhaps sharp pear.  Traces of black olive, dark honey and mint.  Taste: Medium viscosity and the higher proof comes through nicely. The sweetness of the baked agave is at the forefront and then you get a bold punch of brininess and a cracked peppery warmth that dominates and overpower other tasting notes. Finish: Excellent. The salty-peppery warmth seems to last forever.

Siempre Supremo Nom 1137? Or 1438? Valley tasted blind in pepe's tahona blind 2/25/23 Note: these samples were 1/2 oz so it was a bit challenging to get the full essence. I let it sit about 30 mins to open. Some funk and heat on nose. A lot of heat! I could tell this was a high proof. Taste briney pickle bitter finish heat back of throat that lingers, not a lot of agave coming thru after letting this sit over 30 mins! This is not a normal tasting tequila Very weird! This was in the bottom 3 (of 8 tasted blind) for me. In all fairness, I would like to try this again with a larger pour to get a more accurate rating. TMM 79

The most authentic tequila I’ve tried to date and the taste is something so unique it’s hard to explain. I guess this really is how tequila was supposed to be made using original techniques.

Gentle agave bomb. Soft nose yet loaded with baked agave, vegetal and long sweet agave finish with some hints of black pepper

Nose has a high alcohol burn right at open, softens in glass give it a minute. Cooked agave comes through along with almost a clay smell. Mouth I get alcohol first sip, followed by stone fruit like plums and cherry.

Big nose! Sweet, almost liquorice scent, lots of fruit. Sweet & salty, salt water, raw agave and earthy without the bitterness. Zero bite, goes down like water. Wonderful aftertaste.
