Bottle: L-12102?3 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, black tea, bergamot, citrus, lemon, lactic, brine/salinity, cinnamon, butter, minerality, herbal, anise, neem, lemongrass, rosemary, pine tree, white pepper, wet grass, and olive…very interesting and different Palate: Cooked agave, cinnamon hot candies, jalapeño, black pepper, citrus, lemon, lactic, herbal, anise, sage, thyme, lemongrass, peppermint, alcohol, butter, minerality, olive, black tea, and Parmesan cheese…very herbal while retaining some good funkiness Finish: Olive, brine/salinity, herbal, and cinnamon…thick mouthfeel that is long, spicy, and enjoyable Overall: I had held off on trying this at the initial release due to the high cost (plus shipping from the west coast). But, now, at less than $50/bottle (and sometimes cheaper with a 10% off coupon at Total Wine), I’m more than pleasantly surprised. This is a fantastic sipper that offers a unique profile with funkiness and botanical notes that are incredibly easy to enjoy and make it an easy repeat buy. Haven’t tried it yet in a cocktail, but that will change soon.

Glass: Reidel Flute Nose: Cooked and Raw Agave, Citrus, Minerality, Vanilla, Stonefruit Palate: Mango, Pepper, Herbal, Jalapeno Finish: Minerality, Vanilla, Pepper, Cream, Honey. This really impressed me a lot. Citrus, Fruity, and Agave on the Nose. The fruit notes get more detailed on the palate and eventually finish with some sweetness and minerality. For a standard 40% blanco, this is up there with the best!

Initial Nasal Impact is warming. Aroma has cooked agave, honey, herbal, sweet, honeydew melon and green tree leaves. Very wet + watery, cooling mouthfeel. Flavor hits on all cylinders with cooked agave, honey, thyme, cinnamon, sage, clementine, honeydew melon rind, clementine, black pepper. I love the herbal notes. This is a very unique blanco. Agaves out of Guanajuato. Finish is long with honeydew rind and black licorice really holding on. At $49, a solid recommend.

First off mouthfeel wow, silky/ velvety. On the nose- agave, minerality, slight earthiness Taste- agave upfront with nice minerality, flowing right into mint and slight herbal/ earthiness.

Tasted at QDJ with Charlie. This one lives up to the hype! This is a great new one! From aroma to finish, this one is excellent. The aroma is full of cooked agave, earth and bright citrus notes. There’s even a hint of mineral and funk. But no bad. The taste is full of cooked agave with very light sweetness and for only 40% it let you know it’s there. The finish is incredibly long and wonderful full of agave and good heat. I’m putting this on the buy list

Let this blanco open up and it will surprise you with layers of flavors. Earthy, vegetal, sweet agave, and spicy pepper. Briny olives and minerals.

Aromas: Green and vegetal. Raw green bell pepper. Buttered cooked artichokes. Minerals, mint, rosemary, thyme and green peppercorns. Spicy cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves and an undercurrent of vanilla. Pineapple and green apple providing upper range fruitiness; and a big punch of perfume tinged agave. Flavor Impressions: Cinnamon, spices and jaunty pepper heat - ramping up as it opens. A composed and nuanced honeyed sweetness with medium body. The rich sweetness fades rather abruptly. Complexity and balance, with a touch of butterscotch and walnut on the waning retrohale. The Guanajuato agaves are the highlight and heart of this blanco, giving it a subtle wild agave note. Hats off to Maestra de Tequila Diana Quiroz.

On the nose, I’m immediately impressed. These aromas hit my personal preference. The roasted agave and earthy minerals are upfront. There’s some white pepper and natural sweetness along with some green peppers and hints of petrichor. There’s a nice rustic quality to this nose and some density. It’s very pleasant. - I first taste the agave up front but it was a more vegetal taste than the nose presented. The sweetness works well with the pepper and vegetal notes. There’s some pleasant alcohol tingle. The sweetness is akin to a thin honey with some natural vanilla and botanicals. There’s some cinnamon in the spice and some brine in the minerals. The pepper lingers nicely. The more I sip the more the flavors stack up. The first sip was thin on the palate but the flavors quickly build into a more dense tasting experience. The later sips also produce a more buttery agave and deeper spicy notes. - This is a fun tequila. The nose is excellent and the taste keeps building upon itself while simultaneously lingering.

Nose: Green grape skins, strawberries, stinkbugs, grapefruit peel, latex gloves. Petrichor and a sexy plastic/rubber thing are the most prominent notes here with many layers to them. There’s a wet concrete that was dry just like 10 minutes ago thing to the aroma of this tequila. Here the plastic note you can get off of some blue Weber agave shows up instead as a hot rubber tire sort of note. That sounds awful but it’s actually quite delicious next to the more acidic sharper notes mentioned earlier. There’s this thing with it where that rubber note has cardamom/kaffir lime leaf sort of flavors to it which is wild! Palate: sparkly/effervescent, wooden popsicle sticks, salt water, menthol, touch of berry acidity that gets salty real quick. A touch of Serrano chile. The cardamom note really does share space on a razor’s edge with the kaffir like leaf note. Finish: hot, lingering, kaffir lime sort of note but in a diluted sort of way. Overall: This is an interesting tequila. I dig it for the ways it takes the botanical notes and the plastic notes that can be present in tequilas and gives you something pretty different than you could find elsewhere. The kaffir lime leaf and cardamom notes are special. I dig it.

Sampled at Total Wine Very good blanco. Cooked agave, mint, and cinnamon dominated the nose and palate. I will absolutely buy this at some point. Even my wife, who does not like to sip on blancos, was taken aback by how good it is.

Aroma: lots of vegetal and herbal notes. Some cooked agave and light citrus notes. Taste: matches the aroma nicely, along with light petrichor and pepper. It’s very light, zesty, and citrusy. Finish: this would be my only complaint as I was hoping it would last longer, but it’s still very enjoyable. Overall: I like it. If you like the valley agave flavor profile, you’ll probably enjoy this.
