Prolijo Tequila Blanco
“9/12/26 Aroma: it’s got a mellow funk and green agave smell Taste: blast of heat and peppers numbing sensations through the mouth; green agave this isn’t a sweet or baked agave type of tequila. It’s good but more of a peppery vegetal tequila Finish: I will say that is interesting that this is peppery forward but it doesn’t have much burn in the finish but the finish is long and the green flavors stay throughout ”

La Pulga Tequila Reposado
“Nose: honey, oak, and cinnamon candy. Warm and inviting Palate: Cooked agave aplenty, vanilla, honey, cinnamon spice The finish is pleasant and layered. As the cinnamon spice subsides, I’m detecting hints of fruit, basil, and bell peppers. Buttery feel throughout. Great product. Would recommend and absolutely would buy again.”

Acre Largo Tequila Blanco
“I’m a little off from the rest of the community and could be my affinity for all their expressions. Maybe I’m just an OVC fanboy. Little more bite and pepper than other expressions like Manuscrito, Ensueno, etc. Perhaps the higher marks are for its deviation from some of my other favorites. ”

Tierra de Ensueño Tequila Blanco
“Just so damn good. Might be my favorite…but Zumbado. I think the only thing really separating the scores is the value proposition as compared to Zum. Regardless a fantastic expression.”

Zumbador Tequila Blanco
“cooked caramelized agave on the nose; smells kinda dirty sock, not like soil but like gross socks; tastes a little grassy and woody; darker flavor”
More info →“This is spectacular! I’ve had this for a while, but never opened it until I bought some more bottles before they are all gone from 1123. The aroma hits me with mint, cooked agave, minerality, grass, cement. The flavor is really complex with a lot of mint, cooked agave, pepper, cinnamon, minerality and grass. I had some heat on the finish, which isn’t unexpected at 54.5% but it surprised me, at first, even though I let it rest for a while. By the time I finished my glass, my palate adjusted to it nicely.”

Herradura Añejo
“Nose - slight agave, cherry, vanilla, medicinal, banana sweet Flavor- not much depth, agave pulls through eventually, pepper, some fruitiness Finish - medium finish, stale aftertaste. Overall: Nose is acceptable, flavor could use improvement, finish ok. Would not be something I pull out the cabinet to sip. ”

Pelotón De La Muerte Blanco
“Aroma, cooked agave , caramel , hints of chocolate, minerals. and pepper. Palate, cooked agave , pepper , barrel spices. My first impression was very peppery with an oily mouthfeel and heat throughout my palate which faded leaving a sweetness from the vanilla and caramel. further samples became more balanced with a harmony of flavors. Finish, medium with pronounced peppery warmth as it lingered on my palate , then transitioned to a mineral, barrel spice and sweetness lasting to the end. Overall. this blanco for the price of 32.00 dollars is worth a sample , the flavor kept getting better with each sip, my experience was neat , would venture a possible mixed sample.”

Cascahuín 55-25 Añejo
“I’m rating this as if I paid the MSRP of $350-$400. I scored it 5 for value. I was actually fortunate to pick it up for $89.99 (yes, obviously it was a mistake, I argued that the price was wrong, they insisted that it was right, so I took it!). For the price I paid, obviously value is a 25/10! ”
