Nose: Sweet agave leads, backed by creamy vanilla and a clean mineral note. There’s a soft floral lift, a touch of honey, and - once you catch it, a surprising pop of Junior Mints. Not overpowering, but enough to raise an eyebrow in a good way. Palate & Mouthfeel: Light but somehow still full. The sweet agave carries through with layered minerality and a bit of earth. Mint shows up again, joined by a touch of anise that gives it a cool, herbal edge. Clean and composed throughout. Finish: Short and easygoing, but not forgettable. A light finish with soft agave and just enough anise to keep it interesting. Final Thoughts: Simple, light, and delicious. It drinks like a lower ABV but still offers enough nuance to keep you engaged. A great change of pace and a reminder that “lighter” doesn’t mean less thoughtful.

Nice bright agave nose. Little bitterness mid palate but finishes out with some heat and pepper. It’s a mild palate but the nose is lovely

Nose: earth / agave cooked / faint lactic / grass/ faint fruit notes / grapefruit/ mint / hay / sage / orange blossom/ hint of cream soda Taste: sweet agave cooked / anise / hint of cinnamon/ hint of pepper/ earth / banana/ melon / apple / grapefruit/ spearmint/ tea / baking spices / cream soda Finish: watery wet cool water mouthfeel / sweet cooked agave, anise, and a light pepper note mesh together in a unified attack on the front of your palate while a battle for the back of your tongue is underway with some earthiness and light citrus notes. An enjoyable experience. This blanco has a great unified taste. There’s a lot of taste notes a seasoned taster can detect, but the overall and simple quality is that the whole taste is unified, balanced, and a discernible as one big note. An enjoyable experience.

Absolutely gorgeous nose. A face full of sweet agave and floral notes. Minerality, citrus and mint. I also get a hint of peach. Nice on the palate and again a nice sweet agave punch. While not so much on the nose, I do get black pepper on the tongue. Definitely citrus and mint. Less floral on the palate but still there. I am getting some brine/saltiness but only lightly. It is a nice touch. Great clean finish with medium viscosity. There are so many great blancos in this price range. Everyone will have their opinions and palate differences. You owe it to yourself to try this one. I could easily see how this might become your favorite blanco at this price point

Nose: Vegetal, grass, earth and cooked agave. Mild fruit with some Pineapple and tropical fruit. Lemon citrus and a little vanilla. Maybe a little olive. Palate: Nice thick mouth feel with good body and depth. Cooked agave with earth and vegetal undertones. Olive, Lime citrus, mild rose. Solid robust lengthy finish. Great $55 blanco. While I like the Repo more, this is a solid pickup. Give it a try!

A true standout Blanco. I adored the nose on this, a bouquet of flowers with hints of vegetal and citrus notes to boot. Exceptional on the palate, agave forward with minerals and more floral notes dancing on the tongue. El Pandillo doesn’t miss, looking forward to another tasting.

Delicious agave bomb, silky, light, vegetal, citrus, very 1123/1579 esq, bright and beautifully bold and clean, nice medium finish, great blanco overall, easy sipper

Very fresh and green! Celery, cilantro, light pepper aroma. The aroma is the big hit on this one. Finish is short to none.

On the nose, very clear agave and minerality. Some sweet citrus and floral notes. There’s more going on but that agave, minerals and floral citrus really steals the show. It’s light like orange blossoms almost. On the palate, very clean. Lots of agave, cinnamon, and minerals. Some pepper, the citrus coming through. Very full bodied and oily, medium to long delicious finish. Stunner from 1579…but what else would you expect? Felipe simply knows what he’s doing.

LOVE the stuff but blanco should not cost this much $55 california 9/22/23

revisited oct 2023 modified my rating. i liked it b4 and now i absolutely love this. Oct 2023 so well balanced, agave forward with citeus, minerality, mild pepper Volans Tasting July 9, 2022 NOM 1579 Lote LV0003B40 Dec 9, 2020 Bottle 567 NOTES: NOSE: minerality grass pepper agave alcohol smoke cheese/funk TASTE: agave pepper fizzy FINISH: agave pepper lingering subtle warmth and heat

Floral, citrus, mineral, minty, peppery, agave. Smells nice and bright! Good legs. Relatively short finish. Another enjoyable one out of El Pandillo, and it’s hard not to root for Cristina and Chad at Volans.

Excellent representation of the NOM1579 personality: cooked agave, earth/mineral & vegetal notes. Nose is amiable and complex with many layers (citrusy, peppery, herbal & fruity) You can actually smell the earth richness along with those unforgettable rain memories. Goes very well with that silky-like entrance. Great tequila!

Tastes like a high quality tequila with normal tequila taste

Aroma of raw agave, light leather, and cucumber. Flavor is a mouthfull of agave, some light citrus, and muted mint and pepper and salt. Maybe a bit of pear as well. Well balanced, a very good Blanco!

Superb Blanco. Volans is coming strong right out the gate! Had this a while back when it was 1st released, and still not widely available yet, but worth the search or simply go online to get it. Tons of warm cooked agave, vegetal, floral, mint, apple, white pepper, citrus zest, bubble yum, chunky and a great linger... lot 2 is definitely one to hoard!

One of the best blanco tequilas I’ve enjoyed in a long while! Clean, crisp vegetal (raw agave) on the nose. Nice, earth mid and bright finish with just a touch of warmth. Super easy to enjoy. Be sure to have a back up bottle!

Nose: cooked agave, mineral, earth, vegetal, lite smoke, rain and well water. Palate: anis, brine/salt, citrus, pepper, mineral, agave, pear, rain water. Finish medium and sweet and peppery

another fantastic blanco from Felipe Camarena. aroma is heavy on agave and minerals (obviously his use of the water contributes here). citrus, vegetal and flowers can be picked up as well. the flavor keeps the agave and minerals up front with citrus, anise, pineapple developing next. has a nice pepper on the tongue throughout. the finish is a bit less than I expected but still is an outstanding blanco

Different but very good. Definitely have a good floral presence. Very nice blanco

Bottle #2792. Rested 10 minutes. Appearance is crystal clear. Long thin legs and small dotted tears. A few oily floaties but unfiltered so now expected. Nose- Agave, sweet peppers, wet grass, fresh fruit. Palate- Cooked agave, black pepper, seeded jalapeno, olive brine, melon, faint mint. Finish- Mild sweetness fades quickly to peppery heat and ends with medium lasting minerality. Super clean and delicious.

Balanced, slight heat, pepper, citrus, agave flavored. Another well made tequila from Felipe

One of my favorite blancos. Always a consistent go-to for me. Nose is citrusy and floral with sweet agave. Palette is crisp, lemon, cooked agave and black pepper with an excellent minty finish. Exceptional value for the quality!

Very strong agave flavor throughout the bottle. This is an overall very good tequila. There are just some other Blanco's where the pepper or citrus help to highlight the agave in a better fashion.

The aroma has vegetal, grassy notes alongside the classic earth-minerality-cooked agave combo seen in other 1579 Blancos. This carries through in the taste where there's more prominent minerals, and tons of sweet cooked agave that's made more mellow from oxygenation. Spicy black pepper, cinnamon and light fruits are also present. The finish is decently long with agave and spice that keep you coming back for more as the glass opens up.
