“sample sent to me by the brand Nose: hay, agave, alcohol, melon, some funky fruit?!? Palate: caramel, agave, anise, black pepper, some spice? nice, easy sipper Finish: dry, spice, sweet agave, oak and black pepper I just read some other reviews. I agree with Lauren. This was an easy sipper, muted. It left me wanting more.”

Tequila Cambio Añejo
“After my first pour; just wow. This has many layers and the tasting experience over 30-ish mins evolves like no other Anejo. So much going on with this one and perfectly balanced. This is a full bodied flavor bomb! On the palate, I get a wonderful punch of cinnamon, cooked agave, then some orange peel, toasted caramel, oak, apple, hint of pear and pepper. The finish is complex and elegant. First thing that came to mind on the finish was buttery vanilla/cinnamon French toast with a sweet agave kiss. Camino anejo is a banger and does not take a back seat to any of the leading premium anejo’s on the market. This is a spectacular sipper! ”

Volcan de Mi Tierra Blanco
“There’s a beautiful minerality to this tequila from the start, softened by a gentle sweetness on the nose. On the palate, that mineral character becomes even more pronounced, layered with a delicate honeyed sweetness and subtle florals. The champagne yeast is noticeable too, lending a distinctive brightness and complexity to the profile. I loved this one. It has enough character and nuance to enjoy on its own, while that crisp, mineral-forward profile would make it exceptional in a well-made cocktail.”

General Gorostieta Blanco High Proof
“Little to no heat for a 104 proof blanco. Nose, palate, finish let you know this is a special pour. Sweet agave is the headliner. Incredible balance and the high brix sweet agave lingers on your palate nicely. Heavy tears on the glass. The General HP belongs amongst the best of the best premium blanco’s. Knocks Fortaleza still strength off the pedestal. Highly recommended!! ”

Wild Common Tequila Añejo
“This is one of the more complex añejos. Baking spice, cocoa, wood and Hazelnuts in the aromas. Cooked agave, honey, leather and dried cherries in the taste. It finishes with earth, minerals and cooked maple. ”
