Pueblo Viejo Blanco
“The available production information leaves me with more questions than answers. I’m not claiming this includes diffuser-made Tequila, but from the diffuser-made products I’ve had, I do find very similar notes. Nose: There is some remaining cooked agave, but it struggles against sharp medicinal and bitter herbal notes, with a faint touch of vanilla underneath. Taste: Green or raw agave comes through more prominently than cooked agave. The profile is harsh, with acetone, bitter citrus, herbs, black pepper, and an unusual warmed-plastic character. Finish: Acidic and sharp, with lingering anise and pepper.”

Mijenta Tequila Blanco
“Appearance Crystal clear and bright in the glass. The legs cling nicely to the sides of the glass and descend slowly, showing some viscosity without appearing overly thick or syrupy. Aroma / Nose The aroma changes noticeably as I move around the glass. At the 12 o’clock position, cooked agave is the strongest note, accompanied by a subtle hint of citrus. At 3 o’clock, the profile becomes more floral. Moving to the 6 and 9 o’clock positions, I pick up more earthy aromas, adding depth to the nose. Taste / Palate The initial sip is smooth and approachable on the front of the palate. As it moves toward the back of the mouth, the agave becomes more pronounced along with a noticeable peppery spice. The tequila leaves the mouth feeling pleasantly wet rather than dry or astringent. Finish The finish is smooth and clean, with a light pepper note lingering alongside the agave. The pepper provides just enough spice without overpowering the agave character. Overall Impression Mijenta Blanco presents a nicely layered profile, moving from agave and citrus into floral and earthy aromas. On the palate, the combination of smooth agave and pepper creates a balanced experience, while the lingering agave and gentle spice make for an enjoyable finish.”

Volans Still Strength Blanco
“At the bar. Hard to get a full grasp on the nose but enjoying for sure. Palate is excellent. Sweet agave up front. Tart citrus mid. Pepper and cinnamon on the back. Finish is amazing. Lasts long and flavors linger. Glad this is so good. NOM 1579 has disappointed me lately. Was worried something had change. But this is excellent. ”
More info →“Are my samples “flat”? Starting to wonder. The Palo and La Loma are just kinda missing a spark. So was my Rum Barrel Ensueno batch 2. Solid but decidedly unspectacular. Vegetal. Low mineral. What’s missing here is the finish on any of these.”

Painted Donkey Blanco
“Not anything horrible in this tequila. It’s drinkable but I don’t get any of the minerals or minty finish that I usually look for. You can mix or sip it but I get the same effect from both. Just bland. At least there’s no sewage, burnt garbage type notes like in some of the other cheaper ones. If you’re budgeting this one will get you through tough times. ”

Cava de Oro Reposado
“Dessert in a glass, not a ton of agave to be found around all the sweetness. Obviously altered.”

Herradura Añejo
“One of the most artificial-tasting tequilas I’ve ever had. The oak notes are off, the caramel and butterscotch notes are more reminiscent of grandma’s candy than of imparted barrel sweetness. The finish it hot and bitter/sour. This doesn’t taste like tequila.”

El Tequileño Blanco
“would make a good mixer, not a favorite for sipping but would be OK in a pinch.”
More info →“Would be interested to drink through a couple more. The stout barrel just really mutes all the best parts of the agave. I love the creativity and effort. Lots of chocolate, which my son picked out on the nose and sip. I’d run a glass or 2 back just to dabble further but I don’t think it would change overall for me.”

Tierra de Ensueño Reposado
“Simply fantastic. Would love to find that batch but I’m assuming the Oscar’s doesn’t miss as they spin forward. Beautiful profile.”
