Amatiteña Tequila Añejo
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“Absolutely AMAZING nose in this, makes you want to dive in head first. Very gentle flavours with some very present agave and a nice touch of sweet. My favorite part is easily the finish, it’s short and off dry that makes me immediately reach for my next sip.”

“L172E 23 02 06 12/05/2023 Bottle 5563 Heavy on vanilla and caramel, but not to the point of tasting artificial/ taking away from it. A little bit of other barrel notes like honey too. Pleasantly surprised here, for $45 it was a very easy sipper, not to complex but g...”

Partida Roble Fino Tequila Añejo
86 SCORE“A nice sipper. Sweet nose of caramel, raisin and baking spices. Palate has some butterscotch, chocolate, hint of agave and a noticeable amount of sherry finish. A sweet but pleasant finish. If you’re a Casa Azul drinker that wants to move away from that junk but like the overall flavor profile, this is a nice next step.”

Zumbador Tequila Blanco
88 SCORE
“Aroma of cooked agave with hints of pepper and vegetal. Flavors of cooked agave and hints of vegetal Finishes cleanly with notes of agave. Value is excellent. For about $26 USD you get a great additive-free blanco. The nose is simple, but nice. The flavor is sweet. And it finishes very cleanly. I prefer flavors to linger a little more. But, this is especially great for those who don't like flavors to linger long on the tongue . ”

“This is an interesting expression from Mijenta, blending Blue Weber agaves grown in different regions of Jalisco. The nose immediately reads as very young, fresh agave. On the palate, it’s exceptionally smooth and clean, moving across the palate quickly with almost no lingering finish. There’s nothing unpleasant about it. In fact, it’s remarkably easy to drink. It just didn’t leave much of an impression on me. I wouldn’t use a bottle like this in a cocktail because it feels wasteful given what it is, but at the same time, it didn’t have enough complexity or staying power to make me excited about it as a sipper. Interesting to try. Beautifully smooth. Just not one I fell in love with.”

Pelotón De La Muerte Blanco
84 SCORE“A solid choice especially at the 46% ABV. While I didn't find myself reaching for this as a sipper, it made some KILLER ranch waters. For the price and ABV alone, I would certainly buy again.”

Irlandés Blanco Tequila
84 SCORE“Bottle: LOTE BAGBC 23-08-23 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, minerality, wet cement, black and white pepper, citrus, and lime…soft, feels restrained Palate: Cooked and raw agave, vegetal, grass, wet earth, minerality, wet cement, black and white pepper, herbal, citrus, lime, fruity, and green apple…much more complex, with greater intensity compared to the nose Finish: Cooked agave, black pepper, herbal, jalapeño, and alcohol…long duration with a medium viscosity, predominated by heat Overall: There’s really nice minerality on both the nose and palate, which complements the cooked agave well. However, the heat on the finish makes this drink like a much higher proof spirit, which feels out of proportion to the aromas and flavors. The palate has a lot more going on than the nose, but it still feels a bit disjointed. This is a solid blanco and the brand has an interesting and unique story, but I think the tequila would benefit from a little more balance. ”
