The initial bouquet has a bold symphony with distinct notes of acetone, esters, and a delightful interplay of melon, green fruits, white pepper, and sweet herbal nuances. The high ABV shows its presence with a punch of alcohol, adding depth to the olfactory experience. Taste: A departure from the aroma, the taste is a full of cooked agave, a bomb of flavors that make it easy to sip even at this elevated ABV. The texture is creamy and velvety, with subtle hints of caramelization. Anise introduces itself, alongside minerality notes that come and go. The profile is rounded out with a touch of grassy and earthy undertones, creating a harmonious tasting experience. Glass: Riedel Tequila Let sit for at least 3-5mins and it will evolve in aroma This Tequila Blanco, at 55% ABV, proves to be not just a powerhouse of strength but a refined and enjoyable spirit with a complex yet well-balanced character.

Faint aroma of melon, but lots of cooked agave on the flavor and finish. Clean and easy to drink, even at 55% abv.

Fresco, nota alcohólica presente más no penetrante, flor de azhar, agave crudo, pasto recién cortado. En boca si es más alcohólico, patean los 55 grados a primer sorbo, pasando esa primera impresión, hay una nota terrosa, mineral, floral y en menor medida herbal.

Nose: This has an initial alcohol blast that soon gives way to bold cooked agave, fruitiness, ripe cantaloupe and floral notes. Some pepper, mint, and minerals as well. There is a prominent aroma that I cannot quite pinpoint - It’s a slightly sharp combination of dusty, herbal and floral. Flavor: Lively on the tongue - searing pepper and red hot cinnamon. Vanilla, anise and almond custard. Robust agave. There is some bitterness that fades slightly, leaving substantial pepper heat and ethanol punch. Finish: This is macho profile, and a little rough around the edges @ 55%. This would not be a sipper for a newcomer, but a tequila that could make a Margarita sing. A lot of bang for the buck.

Agave and alcohol initially. Letting this sit for a few minutes makes a bit of a difference as the blanco opens up and reveals roasted agave in abundance both on the nose and in the mouth. I find this to have bit of bitterness that I don't get with Tapatio 110 and it holds it back just a bit for me. This is potent stuff at 55% ABV and doesn't let you forget it in the least. A long tingly finish rounds out this tasty high proof blanco.
