Deep, earthy, and vegetal aromas meld with sage and a good dose of black pepper. Continues into a pleasant, damp minerality, while the vegetal aromas become more identifiable as cucumber primarily. In the palate the flavors are heavily vegetal, with herbal sage coupled with that same earthiness from the aroma, as well as a slight blend of salinity and cooked agave. The flavors continue into the finish, with a sudden hit of strong black pepper that fades into a long lasting mix of vegetal sweetness and herbal sage, quite nice for a higher proof tequila.

Wow! Spicy with sweet cooked agave, and a great finish that lingers for awhile. Citrus and white pepper compliment the sweet cooked agave. If you get too much heat just let it open up 10 to 15 minutes and enjoy!

Bright minerality and wet earth open the experience, alongside clean agave and a hint of citrus. Floral notes lift the profile, while cinnamon adds a soft spice. There’s a subtle fermentative brightness - likely from the use of IPA style beer yeast, that lends a faint bready, yeasty character, adding complexity and a lively aromatic edge. Palate & Mouthfeel: Thin but oily, the palate showcases agave front and center. Floral tones emerge first, then shift to black pepper, generous cinnamon, and a whisper of anise. The IPA yeast contributes a slight fruitiness and faint hoppiness in the background, enhancing perceived brightness and layering alongside the citrus, minerality, and earthy notes. Finish: Spicy yet balanced, the finish carries cinnamon and pepper that gradually fade into lingering agave sweetness. There’s a faint, unique yeast driven tang that adds intrigue without overpowering, while a touch of alcohol provides energy and lift. The earth and citrus notes persist, giving the finish a clean, textured vibrancy. Final Thoughts: The nose shows heat, but the palate is unmistakably agave-forward. IPA style yeast adds a subtle fruitiness and fermentative brightness that enhances complexity. Spice lingers on the finish, balanced with agave and a trace of alcohol, making this tequila expressive, lively, and thoroughly engaging.

Cachasol epic strength blanco Nayarit agave. Sayulita distillery. Uses IPA yeast! ABV 48 Sample from Brian Hames, Agave Swappers Nose agave cinnamon mint anise pepper Palate agave cinnamon with some minerality Finish Overall i really like this, even better than their 40ABV blanco, which is also delicious.

Sweet, with some cinnamon, anise, mint, great mouth feel. Like this one a lot.

Sampled at Sabor y Cultura.

Taste is hot in the mouth with great agave sweetness Creamy butter and a little funky in a good way. Nice mouth feel Very vegetal A litter dark chocolate in the finish long finish as well. Nice tequila.

Nose - The first thing I noticed was sweet agave, sweeter than I was used to but not in a way that said fake. It had citrus and minerality, that hint of petrichor, as well as a bit of spice like cinnamon and pepper. Palate - The agave sweetness again. I continued to get that citrus like orange and lemon zest. Minerals follow that with a bit of cinnamon and a nice long, spicy finish. Not the burn of alcohol but that nice peppery warmth that hangs around for a while.

Extremely good Blanco comes in thin and oily but after the initial Cinnamon spice comes agave sweetness with a little fruity on the backend. This sample came from Agave Swappers and I look forward to buying a bottle of the epic strength.

One of my new favorites. This is truly Epic

On the nose I get a TON of agave sweetness, a nice amount of lemon zest, green Pablano pepper, and a little earthy funkiness. On the palate you get that cooked agave right up front followed by some lime and lemon zest, fresh cracked black pepper, a little green poblano pepper, and a nice amount of earthy minerality.

LOTE: E02, tasted on 5-27-25. Aroma: raw agave, mineral, herbaceous, light acidity, vegetal, reminds me of Guanajuato agaves. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, spicy, alcohol sensation is medium to medium high. Finish is medium to medium long, raw agave, mineral and herbaceous notes persist.
