Very nice high proof! Agave and vegetal notes greet. The big surprise is it doesn’t drink like a 110, less heat and more creaminess than I expected. This one is less grassy and overall better than the regular Blanco. But the aged expressions like the Repo are still the star for me.

Initial pour: Grassy and vegetal on the nose still. Palate follows through with traditional notes of the regular Blanco. I’m a sucker for HP but I’ll grab others. This certainly isn’t bad by any means, the grassiness just isn’t my favorite. Edit: this definitely needs time to open. The vegetal tones down on the nose and palate after opening. I do enjoy the pepper and heat on the finish. I also get the creaminess.

This still strength really brings down the grassiness that the original blanco has and replaces it with more agave. There is definitely some heat but it’s not overpowering and easy to sip. As it opens up, a nice creaminess really comes through. Great job Suerte team.

Great I let it rest for 15 minutes. The nose is SUERTE Agave rich but but was a bit hidden by the alcohol when I first poured it. The is a sweet cooked agave with some light grassiness and herbal notes. The alcohol doesn’t take over after it rests and begins to open up. This is my favorite tasting glass, it really let’s the tequila breathe in the large bowl and the chimney creates a perfect updraft rising point for all the aroma to escape. Tasting I’m not great at this but here goes! This first thing is warning heat and agave. It washes the whole palate. The is no doubt this is Still Strength but it doesn’t have a bite like some of the 110’s. Heat dissipates quickly just leaving sweet agave and a grassy taste with lots of spices. The anise seems to linger the longest while the pepper cinnamon and clove are present on the edges of my tongue. It seems to soften with each sip with a medium finish that wants to be refreshed. I could sit and smell this all night. Believe it when I say the longer it rests the cooked agave nose continues to float into your breathing space. I have yet to experience the inside of the distillery when the cooking process is done but I’m imagining it will smell like this…. I am a fan

Strong agave, alcohol presence, gradually opens up with pepper, and brine. Definitely needs to breathe. Spicy heat on the tongue in a good way with less alcohol while agave, mint, pushing through. Nice long warm finish.

sept 16, 2023 Suerte h.p. Nose: cooked agave, alcohol/heat, pepper, funk (lactic). Let it sit at least 30 mins and it gets better. More agave comes thru and less alcohol on the nose Palate: cooked agave, pepper, cinnamon Finish: warmth and sweet with heat that lingers, which I like. Notes: you really need to let this one open up. huge difference!!!
