Quintaliza Tequila Reposado

86 SCORE

“Nose: Cozy aromas of dark chocolate, oak barrel spice, and deep roasted coffee greet you right away. Underneath the roasted espresso layer, you can pick up a bit of sweet cooked agave, honey, and dark cherries. Palate: The cooked agave sweetness hits first, but it quickly shifts into serious barrel density. Flavors of leather, rich tobacco, and warm baking spices weave through a smooth, coating texture that feels heavy on the tongue. Finish: Deep, lingering, and slightly bittersweet. The black pepper heat sits side-by-side with a dry, dark cacao and black coffee note that hangs around for a while before rolling off. Overall: Where standard reposados are subtle and lightly gilded, Quintaliza is an absolute curveball that looks and drinks way more like a heavy añejo. Master Distiller Iliana Partida takes organic valley agave from NOM 1522 and runs it through a wild, patented process. Resting it in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing it in oak casks seasoned with organic Chiapas cold brew. It is a crazy unique bottle that completely dodges the "coffee liqueur" trap to deliver a rich, bone-dry, barrel-forward pour.”

El Tequileño Platino Blanco

85 SCORE

“AROMA: You'll first get a rich hit of sweet cooked agave that leads right into bright citrus. Underneath, there's this earthy minerality with a sharp kick of black pepper, softening into hints of warm cinnamon and fresh, herbal notes. FLAVOR: It hits the palate with a rich, sweet agave flavor, then immediately transitions into a crisp, peppery kick. Bright citrus notes brighten things up, while layers of fresh herbs and a distinct, earthy minerality keep it balanced and complex. FINISH: As the initial sweetness fades, you're left with a subtle hum of black pepper and warm cinnamon, balanced by a clean, lingering herbal note on the tongue. ”

Humano Tequila Blanco

78 SCORE

“AROMA: This one opens with a really bright, fresh agave scent that immediately hits you. Right behind that, you get some crisp vegetal notes and a sharp kick of black pepper, balanced by a subtle earthiness. Then there's that unexpected, smooth, almost buttery touch that really ties it all together. FLAVOR: Opens with a bold, earthy minerality that leads into a really fresh agave sweetness. Crisp vegetal notes and that familiar kick of black pepper build quickly, keeping things lively. Bright citrus comes through in the middle, and it all wraps up with a unique, rich salty-buttery finish that coats the tongue. FINISH: As the warmth fades, the crisp agave and sharp pepper settle, giving way to subtle vegetal undertones that slowly evolve into a creamy, rich, and distinctively salty-buttery lingering taste. ”

De Nada Tequila Blanco

86 SCORE

“Lote 2527 bottle 229972 03/11/25. 12:23 On the nose I get pepper, ethyl, agave, and a nutty funk that is reminiscent of crushed almonds or cashews, and brine at the end. On the mouth that nutty funk is at the front but not totally overpowering unlike my experience with viva Mexico blanco and entremanos blanco. Decent peppery finish that lingers and then grows into a nice warmth in your chest. It’s pretty well balanced but also a little one dimensional/ flat as well. However, for $35 this is a very good tequila and could stand against a most of the other “budget” Tequilas at a similar price point. I live in an area with amazing distribution; g4 blanco is the same price, and I’d definitely pick that over this, however I doubt that is the case in many other areas. Anyways, if you like that 1414 yeastiness/funk that I’ve had in similar offerings, this is a great blanco option for you. Reviewing the repo next. ”

Batanga Tequila Reposado

75 SCORE

“Disclaimer: I am not an aficionado, i am an enjoyer of tequila so take my review with a grain of lime salt. Batanga blanco y reposado are my go to for cocktails or when I have people over that dont deserve my good alcohol! my greediness aside it is a fantastic entry level additive free tequila and can be found for about 25 bones depending where you get it from, theres a lot worse things you could do with $25 and ive probably done them all, give this one a shot if youre just getting into tequila or need a velvety reposado for your cocktails without breaking the bank.”
