Old, old, old bottle. Likely a blend of diffuser and roller mill now.

Alcohol forward and raw agave notes. This is what keeps people away from trying tequila. Seems to be more of a mixto than 100% agave

Horrific nose and taste for a blanco. If you like a cotton candy, artifical official overly sweetened profile with a little pepper and citrus... this is for you.... otherwise stay away

Masters Class/Blind Tasting at La Cata

Good tequila for mixing on a budget. Too much alcohol on the nose. Pepper and fruits on the flavor kind of battle each other. Alcohol burn all the way to the finish and then some .

I just get mint and a burst of alcohol, nothing beyond that start to finish. This is rubbish, let’s hope oak fixes this......

Nose: Minerals, green apple and some astringency. Flavor has odd sweet and bitter notes - with a dash of pepper. Lacking.

Great value, quality is satisfactory, mixes well.

I was overwhelmed by the alcohol aroma and taste. I tend to be overly sensitive to the alcohol, so this one was not a pleasant experience.

Blind tasted. Alcohol dominates early but gets better as it goes revealing tropical like flavors!

  • 67 Rating

Big alcohol hit up front, softened by sweet cooked agave on the nose. Palate follows with floral notes and a subtle mossy, musty edge that adds balance. Very short finish—alcohol lingers more than the agave, which fades too quickly.

Hot. Liquor up front. Agave. Pepper. Citrus.

I have always wanted to try this tequila.. the presentation on the bottle is really nice.. definitely attention grabbing.. watery mouthful with a bit of heat in the back end.. overall not bad.. love to see what it's like in a margatita.. feel like this is a tequila made for that recipe..

Mexican 38% abv. versión, lote: 21092054, bottled on 18-10-2021, tasted on 4-12-24. Aroma: raw agave, slightly earthy, briny, green olives, green vegetal notes, light artichoke aroma, light acidity, hint of citrus. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, artichoke note is more intense and prolonged on the palate. Finish is medium to medium long, light raw agave, light green vegetal note, light artichoke and a hint of earthiness persists.

Smooth and flavorful. Great for tequila sunrises.

Straight up alcohol on the nose. The flavor sweeter than I expected though. A hint of vanilla with a gentle burn that follows. The finish is rather bland. You can do much better elsewhere.

  • 65 Rating

On the nose cooked agave, citrus, light vegetable sweetness. The palate has agave, black pepper and a slight alcohol burn. Very watery mouthfeel. The finish is quick and unremarkable with a little heat.

had this last night and was quite disappointed first with the terribly cheap pour at Blind Rhino in South Norwalk CT. Creamy grassy but no typical citrus or lime notes just eh and nose was bready or maybe yeasty.

Review #213 - Corralejo Tequila Blanco

To me, Corralejo seems to be kind of an overlooked brand. It's easy to find, so you don't get excited when you see it in a store. The bottle looks great, but there's no "buzz" around the tequila.
