Lost Lore "Poca Madre" Vol. 2 Limited Edition Reposado
Jalisco (Los Altos Southern)
“Nose is slightly medicinal when first poured but opens up after several minutes in that Chisolm Trail high-proof jarrito, which is my preferred glassware for 45% ABV and above. All the barrels contribute to a melange of aromas carried by the 48% ethanol. Dark pittte...”
Alto Canto Blanco High Proof
Jalisco (Southeast)
“This has a unique and interesting aroma and flavor profile, and is a great example of what can be achieved with slow-and-low production techniques. Cooked agave, olive, brine, minerals, butter, and a hint of lactic - all of these are favorites of mine. I think it’s w...”
ArteNOM Seleccion de 1414 Reposado
Jalisco (Los Altos Southern)
“Lote 2573, 232822, 04/29/25 Lots of yeast on the nose and palette here for me. Reminiscent in ways of the 1579 blanco which in its own way is kinda relevatory for me in a way that I didn’t think it’d be possible that the profile would carry from one distillery to t...”
Cazcanes No. 10 Still Strength Blanco
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“The nose is soft with a light, some agave sweetness, vegetal and earthy tones, some dusty wet cement and alcohol. Bright and clean in the glass but not much adhesion. Creamy, full and heavy mouthfeel, unlike anything I’ve tried to date. On the palate there’s swee...”
Volans Still Strength Blanco
Jalisco (Los Altos Southern)
“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 l...”
Mijenta Blanco Maestra Selection No. 3
Jalisco (Los Altos Southern)
“sample sent from the brand Maestra Selection No. 3 begins with fully mature Blue Weber agaves grown from seed in Jamay, Jalisco by the Lago de Chapala shoreline. These agaves are slowly cooked in an oven crafted using volcanic stone from Popocatépetl, an active vo...”
Cazcanes No. 7 Joven
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“There’s some dried grass, some funky agave, some citrus and a bunch of earth on the aroma. After it opens up for a while, a whole bunch of cinnamon comes out, which is nice. There’s a lot of agave in the flavor though, and it’s pretty thick and coating in the mouth. ...”
Zumbador Tequila Blanco
Jalisco (Los Altos Southern)
“I think most of us can appreciate a good value tequila. I have a couple, Suerte and Puro Potro. These are tequilas that punch above their weight class. Zumbador fits that bill too Nice nose of agave and floral. Minty. On the palate it is also a sweet agave bomb wi...”
Cascahuín Swell de Spirits X Los Convidados
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“The nose is amazing. Agave with a brown sugar, citrus orange, Wonderful palate with sweet agave, herbal, light pine, great finish. Which I had more of these. ”
Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength)
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“Finally got a reserve bottle so now I can open the one that’s been in storage, ha! First nose upon opening was rich berries and red apple, unexpected but great. As it’s opened it’s reverted to the typical. That is not to imply boredom! Deep rich agave and butter ...”
Loco Tequila Blanco
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“This is a quality blanco tequila made with a blend of 9 blancos. It’s very clean and polished. It’s very traditional. It’s earthy and mineral with some bright citrus notes along with the clean crisp agave. They use estate agaves and shave them tight. This is a polis...”
Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte (100 proof)
Jalisco (Los Valles)
“Nice nose! Agave, brine, green olive, mint and vegetal notes. Bright and clear in the glass with nice adhesion. Creamy mouthfeel and an agave bomb of flavor! Natural sweetness is followed by a peppery-spice that settles into a dry but medium-long and warm finish....”

Tequila G4 Reposado
89 SCORE“On the nose, wonderful sweet agave, with that amazing minerality and pepper and light caramel and oak present. The palate greets you with sweet cooked agave, minerals, pepper, some caramel and nutmeg. The finish is medium, and this tequila holds up well, even when mixed. This is lot 14RE from August 2023. I hope G4 continues to remain this amazing.”

Socorro Tequila Añejo
87 SCORE“Socorro Añejo This is an Agavos Gold winner. The unique component of this spirit is that it’s aged in virgin American white oak barrels for 14 months. No other spirit was aged in their barrels. You’re getting the agave and the barrel influence without an added component of bourbon, wine, sherry, cognac, etcetera. The aromas are pronounced notes of caramelized agave and American oak (AO) spice. The AO spice notes are on the dry side. There are hints of honey and peaches with some faint cinnamon. On the palate, cooked agave and caramel hit up front, quickly followed by dry AO barrel spice and cinnamon. There’s some stone-fruit sweetness—mostly peach, but some cherry too. The cinnamon carries into the dry finish. Overall, the nose is dry but bold. The flavors are pronounced and unique. It smells and tastes great, and the price is nice too. ”

Arriesgado Blanco
88 SCORE“9/18/26 Aroma: wet concrete spring water some sweetness; not a strong smell but different Taste: floral and something sweet - immediate explosion of flavor; flavors I did not expect. Finally something not minty grassy or peppery. Mouthfeel is thick and dry on the backend. I always look for the agave and this is interesting it’s not a sweet baked agave or a green vegetal I’d say it’s something in the middle but can’t quite describe it just yet. Finish: for a HP the finish doesn’t carry much of a burn - does have some numbing and tingle and the flavors evolve throughout the finish with the mouthfeel getting dry and sticky Interesting for sure ”

“Tequila Ocho — Añejo 2023 Potrero Grande Old Fitzgerald Barrel Select Nose: Oak-forward yet still mineral, with a noticeable bourbon influence. Taste & Texture: Very thick and coating in the glass. Peppery agave sweetness comes through with cinnamon, layered alongside the distinctive Old Fitzgerald bourbon-barrel character. Finish: Warm and leathery, with barrel tannins bringing a noticeable dryness that lingers on the palate.”

Cincoro Tequila Añejo

Pasote Reposado
86 SCORE“Pasote — Reposado Nose: The barrel is present with hints of cherry and a subtle underlying sweetness. Taste & Texture: Thick and coating in the glass. Warm and bourbon-forward, with the barrel influence taking center stage. Finish: A soft peppery finish with warmth that lingers. The bourbon remains the primary influence but comes across softer and rounder, without the sour-mash bite that can sometimes accompany a bourbon-heavy profile.”

Siembra Azul Lidia Tequila Joven
91 SCORE“This is an amazing tequila. Unbelievably smooth blend of flavors. Soft, floral flavor with a very buttery mouth feel. Crazy craftsmanship. ”

“Overall - Rare high proof reposado that I have tried. It is solid and the caramel and cooked agave finish is nice. The alcohol overpowers the mid palette a bit. Nose - cooked agave. Some faint caramel / vanilla from the barrel aging. Palette - strong cooked agave and subtle caramel sneaks in at the end. There is something mid palette that really hits, it is a high proof repo so the alcohol comes through to shock you a bit. Finish - finish comes back down from the alcohol and has a nice warming caramel that lingers. ”

G4 Reposado Clásico
90 SCORE“Had a few backlog of bottles I hand’t opened yet, this was next to a fortaleza reposado. Amazing. Distinctly different to standard G4 reposado. Feels a bit less refined but in the good fun way. The agave just pushes beyond the heavier oak flavor, even the color is different to standard G4 reposado. This reminds me more to old school tesoro de don felipe. Loved it.”
