While the panel’s favorites were complex, elemental and intriguing, we were troubled by a lack of intensity in many of the bottles as well as by a sense of artificiality in some. As Florence put it, we found a great divide between those tequilas we liked
Calle 23 is a fairly new kid on the block. The master distiller is a woman, Sophie Decobecq, who was a bio-chemist by trade and worked in South African agave spirits before moving to Mexico.

NOM 1529 | Aroma has earth, cooked agave and olive brine but is dominated by a strong alcohol note. Flavor begins sweet (fruit - apple, pear) then progressed to a soft heat. The heat finishes medium-long. The alcohol in the aroma kind of kills the nice things about this one. Nothing special in the flavor. Pretty boring. 06-15-2026
