Enelalma Añejo
“The aroma opens with wood, barrel spice, and molasses, while green agave and a persistent green vegetal note continue to cut through the profile. On the palate, oak and char lead into vanilla, barrel spice, and caramel. A waxy vegetal tone remains present, joined by black pepper, barrel spice, and a deeper sweetness that rounds out the wood influence. The finish lingers with vanilla and barrel spice, along with a persistent waxy vegetal note. I can enjoy the crisp grassiness of the Blanco. Still, in this expression, the added barrel influence softens the virid taste and intertwines it with sweeter flavors, a nice balance between the agave’s green taste and the oak’s richness.”

Paladar Tequila Blanco
“The smell starts off with pepper, agave, and a fruity aspect that I can not quite identify. The taste starts off with pepper and mint, which transitions into cooked agave, vegetable notes, and a faint fruity aspect that faintly reminds me of bananas. Overall I thought it was decent but I think there are many other better brands for the same price.”

Tequila Cayéya Reposado
“the aroma is very pleasant as I took in the sweetness of toffee , vanilla , and butterscotch, along with floral undertones. my palate noticed the silky creamy vanilla , toasted coconut, and caramel. with light notes of baking spices , such as cinnamon and clove. it's finish is subtle as an exceptional, smooth sipper comparable to high-end dessert-style tequilas I found it to be short to mid finish could be used as a mixer but it's much nicer for a after dinner sipper instead of that heavy cheese cake. since it gives you that dessert style tequila ”

Ocho Tequila Reposado
“Nose Musty and damp, almost reminiscent of wet dog. A slight cinnamon note develops alongside barrel influence and a light floral character. Taste & Texture Clings nicely to the glass with a coating mouthfeel. Sweetness leads into cinnamon and pepper, followed by a slight bourbon note. There’s some tongue tingle along with a vegetal character underneath. Finish Barrel tannins are noticeable but don’t overly dry the mouth. The tongue continues to tingle through the finish, leaving no question that this is a high-proof pour.”
More info →“Nose Damp fermentation leads the nose, giving it an earthy, funky character. Taste & Texture Coats the glass nicely with a good mouthfeel. Peppery warmth comes through with cinnamon and a subtle sweetness underneath. There’s a light tingle on the tongue without being overly hot. On the last sip, a briny, almost salty note begins to show. Finish Long, warming finish that slowly builds, leaving a slight numbing sensation through the throat and gums. Barrel tannins dry the mouth as the finish lingers.”

Adictivo Tequila Añejo
“Adictivo Añejo — Tasting Notes Appearance: Deep golden color with a rich, almost viscous appearance. It clings noticeably to the glass, with slow-moving legs that hint at a heavier, sweeter profile. Aroma: Very sweet and dessert-forward. Caramel and vanilla dominate the nose, and I don’t pick up much, if any, recognizable cooked agave character. Taste: The palate follows the aroma closely. Caramel is the dominant flavor, accompanied by a hint of vanilla. The texture comes across as somewhat syrup-like, emphasizing the sweetness rather than the natural vegetal or earthy qualities I typically associate with agave. Finish: Thick, sweet, and syrupy. The caramel character lingers, but I’m still not finding any noticeable agave on the finish. Overall Impression: Adictivo Añejo drinks more like a sweet, dessert-style tequila to me. Caramel and vanilla are front and center from the nose through the finish, while the agave character is largely absent. For someone who enjoys a sweeter, richer sipping tequila, this profile may be appealing. Personally, I would prefer more agave presence and less sweetness.”
