“Aroma..agave—butterscotch—light pepper Flavor…agave—caramel—vanilla—hint of cinnamon Finish..agave—butterscotch—some oak—touch of alcohol This product had a nice golden straw color and medium legs. Its sweetness was apparent throughout. There was a touch of alcohol at the end which was appropriate. This score reflects a 9 value which raises the score.”

“First, thanks to Mousa Zarifian, over at Ladins Liquor for the tequila to try. The appearance is rich, hay, largerish in color. The nose is light agave, a light, but distinctive bourbon araoma. Or strong alcohol from a fortified brandy. Like brandy, you pick up on some fruit, definitley some vanilla, the barrel is there as well, with light, but present oak. Everything is rather subtle, but perfectly pleaant. The palate, like the nose is subtle. Nothing particulary jumps out, but again, perfectly pleasant. The agave is light. The vanilla on the nose doesn’t really translate to the palate. The fruit does come through, however. The bourbon notes on the nose, are lacking as well. Probably a good thing since the agave is a bit mild. Bourbon would easily overwhelm this tequila if it were there. It makes sense, being that this is rested in French oak, perhaps why I’m getting that fortified brandy more than bourbon. The finish follows the same pattern. Somewhat mild, but pleasant. Medium length. This is the tequila to drink while conversing with friends. It doesn’t necessarily require a lot of attentions, but nicely accompanies the conversation. —The Tequila Note ”

“Nose: Old school cooked agave, fruity, mint, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, Pallet: Clean crisp cooked agave, caramelized sugar, barrel influence, vegital, herbal, pepper, Finish: This is a delicious XA that’s light and refreshing. It has those old agave notes that just aren’t replicable. Zero alcohol smell or taste. Easy to sip and easy to recommend ”

Lost Lore Valley Blanco

89 SCORE

“Well this HP blanco earned a double gold Agavos award for a reason! Sweet agave and lime zest with some vegetal /earthy notes on the palate with an elegant balance. Finish is all clean/sweet agave with a long lingering hang-time that gives you a kiss of cinnamon and a hint of melon. This one is a dangerous sipper and the HP amplifies the flavor bomb. ”

Ocho Tequila Añejo

88 SCORE

“Aroma: Cooked agave is accompanied by a glorious aroma of red apple skin, dill, anise, soft petrichor, light wood, and a touch of orange citrus. On the palate, soft red apple coats the mouth alongside cooked agave, wood, and toffee. Light salinity provides a nice counterbalance to the sweetness, while caramel-spiked pepperiness adds some warmth. Anise and cinnamon remain in the background, filling out the profile without competing for attention. A subtle thread of dill weaves almost unnoticed through the palate, adding a vegetal quality. The finish is light, with cooked agave and wood lingering alongside trace salinity and a surprisingly persistent note of dill.”

Chinaco Blanco

“(Teardrop Bottle) Aroma: I get sweet cooked agave, vegetal greenness, plum skin, and citrus. The nose is remarkably clean, and I pick up none of the scathing ethyl that can sometimes dominate a pour. A few days later, a salinity tone was noticeable On the palate, cooked agave comes through first, immediately followed by a spike of vegetal character before giving way to tangy fruit: green grape, lime, and lemon. Fleeting notes of butter, chocolate, and nuttiness, particularly almond and walnut, add some depth without taking away from the brighter flavors. The finish is wine-like in its dryness and tartness. For me, this is a very effervescent expression, with flavors that are short, sharp, and energetic on the palate while maintaining an impressive sense of cleanliness. The bright flavors give it a lively character, like spring in a spirit bottle.”

Nosotros Tequila Añejo (NOM 1438)

84 SCORE

“This needed time to breathe. Opening this up and firing off a few rounds was not enjoyable initially. Once this had aerated, the nose found anise, wood, cooked agave, sweet vanilla, light green apple, and a hazelnut-like earthiness. There is an underlying peppery ethyl character, along with wintergreen that brings a combination of sweet, medicinal, green, minty, fruity, and floral qualities. On the palate, wood and cooked agave lead, followed by orange citrus, anise, cinnamon, and wintergreen. A minuscule touch of brine adds another subtle layer without taking away from the sweeter and more aromatic notes. The finish is clinging, with wintergreen gradually fading alongside light pepperiness, wood, and a soft, sweet earthiness.”
