Aromas - anise, highly floral; all the flowers, this is a flower shop. Flavors are bracing, bitter, salty, and the finish sucks all of the moisture out of your mouth but it does it quickly and then it’s gone.
Santaleza Blanco $55 USD (Ferment and Still) Overall: Very solid blanco that is easy to sip. Not competively priced. Nose: Bright, green agave, floral orange blossoms, white pepper, and mint. A trace of minerality. Taste: A dry, delicate sweetness on the tongue with a splash of cracked black pepper. Velvety on the palate with honey sweetness, and tangerine citrus, and hints of cinnamon. Finish: The light honey and cinnamon linger for a soft and natural finish.
Very soft and mellow. Taste the agave but less peppery than many Blancos. A gentle tequila.
Rather subdued and timid nose with a touch of ethanol. Palate displays some citrus, pepper and light agave. Nice viscosity and mouthfeel. It’s a solid, inoffensive blanco with no detectable additives. However, in terms of aroma and flavor not nearly as punchy and agave-forward as I would personally like. Probably didn’t help that I was sipping this alongside a 1579 product.
