Ocho Tequila Reposado

88 SCORE

“The aroma is direct and earthy, opening with minerality, green vegetal notes, grassiness, leche, and black pepper. A scathing ethyl presence cuts through the profile, giving the nose a rough edge. There isn’t much fan service here; it’s straightforward. On the palate is where this entertains and shines: petrichor washes over the tongue with a strong green vegetal character, intertwined with orange, lemon, and lime citrus. Light barrel spice and chocolate add depth, while wintergreen brings cool mint and a combination of sweet and warming spice. Creamy vanilla, pronounced salinity, light caramel, and cinnamon invite return visits. The finish is relatively simple, with grassy agave and light pepperiness lingering as the other flavors fade. An indeed enjoyable release. ”

El Bagazo Tequila Blanco Único

“Wow that nose! briney, sweet, citrus, minerality, hints of spicy cinnamon, jalapeño, pickle brine maybe? Lots of greens, this is complex! so many good notes and the proof really shines. On the pallet this is also shines! Has a fire cooked / "light smokiness" at first, opens up after a few- sweet earthen cooked agave, very earthy, silky mouthfeel, proof is great, can feel the heat, long finish, this is a great blanco, buy if you see it, MX only I believe ”

Siembra Alteño Añejo

88 SCORE

“Tasted this a while ago, see it’s been added to the satay see here so will try to conjure up my memories of tequilas past. This, like every other siembra Alteño expression I’ve tried, was pretty exceptional all things considered. First let me wager my sole criticism that keeps this tequila from reaching truly elite status like the other two Alteño offerings, and it’s only sort of a half criticism at that; this drinks a little more like an extra añejo than a regular añejo. The barrel notes a very present and the agave can take a little bit of a backseat at times but the barrel notes a simply phenomenal so it’s ok. A lot of butter and honey, maybe a tiny bit of leather. At times I wished it had a little more kick or spice, maybe if it was bottled at cask strength it’d be truly divine… but nevertheless, as someone who’s leaned a lot towards añejos specifically lately, I wished for a tad bit more. But if you’re an XA lover looking for añejo that drinks like one but a lot cheaper than a quality XA I feel like you will feel that you hit the jackpot on this one. ”

ArteNOM Seleccion de 1414 Reposado

85 SCORE

“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 the next so much (gives me hope for when I try post 1123 Gran Legado). Very solid barrel notes and enough agave to make this a pretty easy sipper. Was on sale for under $60 near me which seems reasonable. Score would be a little higher if the yeast was a little less prominent but otherwise very solid overall. ”

Atanasio Orígenes Blanco Espíritu Fuerte

83 SCORE

“Conditions: 73 degrees, calm air, resting in Kenzie glass for 35 minutes Appearance: silver pale shimmer, spacious defined legs indicating possible sweetness and higher alcohol Aroma: light, bright and forward raw agave, citrus and white pepper, with fresh herbal elements— marjoram, mint, Thai basil. Taste: Initial sweet pepper and cooked agave with a pleasant thick mouthfeel. Mid palate pepper remains though missing the spectrum from the aroma. A mellow sweet chamomile tea with honey echoes on the finish which I would call medium. A stalwart expression that sips sweetly and modestly and would shine for the mixologists.”

Nosotros Tequila Reposado

89 SCORE

“First off, I like the products from the new NOM a lot better. Congrats to the brand for making such a wise upgrade. The resulting tequilas are full of unique character that brings the agave forward. Bravo. On this new reposado I'm getting aromas of earth, tobacco, anise, hay, agave, black pepper, and a unique aroma that reminds me of over-ripened fruit. Definitely interesting. Flavor leads with agave, then caramel, anise, hay, and then some melon. Everything blends together and plays nicely in the mouth, it just feels like all of the flavors are working together in harmony. Medium length finish and mouthfeel, and I feel like agave gets the last word toward the end of the finish, when everything else fades away, it's the agave that remains.”

Montagave 'Exploración' Volume I Añejo

88 SCORE

“Aromas of dried fruit, cherry, raisin, hazelnut, and butter. Quite nice aroma, actually. Flavors of barrel spice, peach, butter and assorted roasted nuts. It's got a LONG long finish, which is enjoyable, but I just wish there was more agave here. The barrel notes are a little too dominant, but it's still an excellent spirit.”

Zumbador Blanco High Proof

100 SCORE

“Zumbador High Proof 54% ABV was worth the wait! The 40% ABV Blanco is sweet on the palate, with that unmistakable Los Altos agave character. It’s amazing how the higher ABV changes the complexity and flavors. The High Proof is buttery, with a beautiful agave punch. On the nose, it’s softer than the 40% ABV, and I love comparing the two because they’re both delicious in their own way. Less dilution, more flavor. ”

“Underrated tequila. Blanco is bright, smooth, peppery, and earthy. Reposado enhances all that and brings out caramel and sweetness. ”
