Legacy 71 "De Alambique" Blanco

88 SCORE

“No. Bottle: 2316 • Visual: Bright, Clear with med, clear edge. Great viscosity. • Aroma: Big citrus, white flowers, mineral, minty/funky thing going on, hot pepper. • Mouthfeel: Creamy with generous alcohol. Drying on the tongue. • Flavor: Like the aroma - big citrus blast and fennel (mint). Dried pineapple, cinnamon, honey. It has a creamy heat on the finish, generous alcohol and the fennel/licorice really linger with a lemony citrus. This one need to open up a bit before you dig in. Give it the time it deserves and this high proof will shine!”

“More like a blanco but delicious and smooth. Agave with a savory shell (if you will). Great expression. ”

Cascahuín Añejo 44

90 SCORE

“Bottle: Batch 2, LOTE 817, 220426, #CASCAHUINEANDO Appearance: Pale honey-gold x luminous straw Nose: Cooked agave, minerality, wet cement, petrichor, brine/salinity, olive, light oak, barrel spice, roasted almond, butter, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, citrus, orange peel, fruity, peach, dried apricot, raw honey, and white pepper…in a word, sumptuous Palate: Cooked agave, toasted oak, barrel spice, vanilla, brown butter, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, baking spice, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, citrus, charred pineapple, orange oil, dry earth, brine/salinity, olive, minerality, vegetal, and fresh herbs…a little less sweet, a little more savory, and even slightly green Finish: Cooked agave, honey, black pepper, cinnamon, toasted oak, sawdust, and brine/salinity…extra long and spicy with an oily/viscous mouthfeel Overall: For those who appreciate Cascahuín’s unmistakable profile, this añejo delivers added weight and intensity at 44% ABV while preserving the earthy, mineral-driven character. The barrel influence is rich and expressive without veering into cloying sweetness while simultaneously balancing the savory and vegetal notes with remarkable poise. For the $83 I paid, I’m not sure what else I could ask for; this is simply exceptional. Having never had the 40% expression, maybe one day I’ll get to compare the two. ”

Arriesgado Blanco

89 SCORE

“Bottle: LOT: 030326B4-ART, BOT: 1028 Appearance: Clear Nose: Light green wood smoke, wet earth, minerality, wet cement, petrichor, vegetal, camphor, laurel, citrus, grapefruit, black pepper, olive, and cooked agave…relatively lighter intensity, but really started to open up after some extended time in the glass Palate: Cooked and raw agave, green wood smoke, black pepper, minerality, wet cement, brine/salinity, olive, vegetal, Brussels sprouts, camphor, herbal, sage, mint, thyme, citrus, overripe pomelo, loomi, butter, and honey…an absolute flavor bomb Finish: Cooked agave, mesquite, citrus, black pepper, vegetal, herbal, and alcohol…long and warming/numbing with a thick and oily mouthfeel Overall: For a moment, I thought I had accidentally poured a glass of Don Mateo Alto (made with agave inaequidens and cooked using green/unseasoned wood). It’s such a unique profile that brings together crisp herbs, tart fruit, and the sappy dampness of raw plant material packaged into smokey agave with a fleeting acrid kiss (eg the mesquite I picked up in the finish). Nonetheless, the blue agave honey is present throughout and is unmistakably tequila. This would satisfy fans of tequila and mezcal alike, but would likely overwhelm a novice palate. This is right up my alley, though, and I will for sure be buying more. ”

Mijenta Blanco Maestra Selection No. 2

86 SCORE

“Nose: Freshly cut agave shoots up first, followed by sweet citrus zest, red fruit, fresh grass, and a nice herbal hit of sage. Because it mixes agave from across five completely different regions, you get a wild shifting minerality that feels simultaneously chalky, volcanic, and muddy. Palate: The cooked agave hits with a nice roasted sweetness, quickly accompanied by lime zest, subtle cinnamon, preserved fruits, and garden herbs. The texture is clean and lively on the tongue, showing off a lot of complex layers. Finish: Smooth, refreshing, and moderately long. It leaves a clean trailing mix of lingering agave, gentle peppery spice, and a quick whisper of citrus. Overall: Where the standard Mijenta Blanco is a soft, citrus-forward highland porch-sipper, Maestra Selección No. 2 is an absolute mad scientist experiment. Master Tequilera Ana María Romero breaks every rule in the book by harvesting single-estate agaves from all five legal tequila-producing states—Jalisco, Nayarit, Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Tamaulipas—distilling them separately, and blending them together. It doesn't lock into one signature style; instead, the crazy multi-state terroir blend is the whole story. An incredible bottle to own if you want a blanco that flips traditional regional profiles on their head.”

Tequila Cambio Blanco

87 SCORE

“Nose: Caramelized cooked agave hits right away, mixed with a really cool, slightly sour vinaze mash aroma. Behind that punkiness, you get cotton candy, crushed white grapes, fresh mint, and a bit of eucalyptus. Palate: The cooked agave sweetness comes out swinging, but it is super complex. Flavors of pear, apricot, lime juice, and a light lactic, buttery funk weave through a thick, creamy texture. Finish: Long, warming, and velvety. It leaves a trailing punch of fresh anise, white pepper, and soft stone minerals before fading away completely clean. Overall: Where standard highland blancos are pure, linear agave, Cambio Blanco goes out of its way to show off a wild, traditional funk. Chef John Des Rosiers uses a painstaking two-week open wood tank fermentation and rests the liquid for 45 days in French oak. The incredibly slow fermentation is the whole story. A spectacular pickup for anyone who wants an agave-forward pour with heaps of unique personality.”

Calle 23 Criollo Dos Reposado

86 SCORE

“This is a very enjoyable tequila but nothing comparable to the original Criollo Blanco. You get agave, honey, cinnamon, nuts and spices. Some sweetness from the barrel with a good finish. The price tag on this is what hurts the score for me. Still a great tequila if you can get it for half the price.”

Cascahuín Añejo 44

“*Batch 1* The new Cascahuin Anejo with the higher abv shines brighter than the regular anejo that hasn't been here in the US in a few years. Full of agave flavors but with the characters from the barrel making it a more balanced anejo. ”
