I must be a Michoacán agave fan
All around great. I just ate spicy food and I’m getting a lot of heat and pepper in the taste. The aroma and finish are brilliant. I should try this again away from dinner!
This is really good. I liked it
Lagrimas del Valle Blanco La Loma sample from kyle koskey 46 abv michoacán agave This expression really works for me. Some of my favorite things = cascahuin profile, michoacán agave, high-proof, tahona crushed (at least partially), wood fermentation and fern with fibers (partially). my favorite profile = anise, mint, minerality, agave, pepper, spice. Delicious!
Aroma: raw material, earth, dirt, Flavor: very viscous, a wonderful mouthfeel, savory- some olive notes- this definitely is a sessional. Aromas and flavors pop from first sip to last.
The aroma of minerality is unmistakable with agave and subtle sweet potato essence, accompanied by a hint of vanilla, a touch of mint, and a gentle nuttiness with wood undertones. There is a trace of salt, though it never leans into brininess. On the palate, cedar emerges first, distinct and ever-present. Crisp mint and lemongrass follow behind minerality and citrus. The cooked agave is present in scent and taste. A warm, roasted pecan note develops gradually, adding a toasted quality. The finish lingers with lime citrus and a fresh green note, both carried by the persistent minerality. A touch of dryness appears toward the end. “vine, vi, conquisté” should be the motto of this particular release.
Vessel: CT Jarrito Nose: Minerality, Stone Fruit, Agave, Anise, Citrus, Grass Palate: Concrete, Jalapeno, Grass Finish: Agave, Anise, Stonefruit, Herbal, Hay This brand seems to knock it out of the park everytime. I think this might be my favorite Lagrimas Blanco since the Palo Verde. Great addition to the line up! I'm excited to try the Reposado soon
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest
Very nice nose of agave, floral notes, ripe fruits, vegetal notes. Citrusy. On the palate sweet cooked agave, minty, vegetal notes, hay. Very pleasant finish. Great viscosity. Very close to Palo Verde and I could pick either as the top for this brand.
Cooked agave and citrus aroma. Taste follows with a minty/herbal now and minerality. Very nice, lingering finish without being hot.
This is one of the best blancos I’ve ever had, which isn’t surprising coming out of 1123. It’s an absolute agave bomb, with tons of additional character and complexity. I had previously thought that the El Sabino harvest was my favorite single-origin from Lágrimas, but after having a few glasses of this, La Loma has more nuance to it in a way that’s incredibly appealing.
Smells like caramel A bit spicy Overall it’s a bit too spicy for me, distracting from the taste
Very clean tasting. A very solid tequila all around
Nose: Butter cream, with whiffs of cinnamon, melon and a raw agave. Initial palate: creamy cooked agave that blankets the tongue with a rich viscous mouthfeel. Finish: Cooked agave tapers into a more raw fruit/agave finish, with a subtle astringency that builds, into a strong unripe fruit (mango?) crescendo, but not sense at all of being overproof.
I am a huge fan of the La Loma repo but the plata ain’t for me. I’m trying to like it but something is just off. The aroma is wonderful I’ll say. There’s some sweetness there that fades into something undesirable to me. Doesn’t make a good margarita either. My last tequila run I got this and fortaleza repo and I’m not impressed with either. I’ll keep sipping on them tho, may up the score later.
Agave, pepper, and mineral taste on the palate from start to finish. Great profile!
Nose: cooked agave, citruses, anise, sweet potato, cinnamon, herbaceous, minerality, brine, pepper, olive, pine/woods, Palate: brine, sweet agave, baking spices, cinnamon vegetal, citrus, fruits, nutty, pepper
Similar to El Sabino, but a hair sweeter! In a good way! Strong agave forward, mineral, wet cut grass, pepper, citrus, light earthiness! It’s amazing! Get it, try it, enjoy it neat! Bought on Hi-proof for $65!
Nose: pronounced, round agave, 1979’s Chrysler freon Body: full, generous oily coat Palate: unfiltered organic smooth heat tempered with some sweetness. Light spice and just enough bite to keep it from being flabby Finish: long tail that passes through some phases
Lagrimas Balnco La Loma Lot 599 I'm blown away with the seismic shift of the jump up in quality of this blanco with the sourcing of Michocan agaves. Admittedly, I wasn't overwhelmed with the inital releases, but the 2024 hits completely different. See Bill's B's review...sensational. Aroma; Orange-citrus fruits, cinnamon, white pepper, and touch of floralness. Minerality is there, with a faint trace of mint. A light, but not too delicate sweetness. Taste: Get ready. Viscous and full with a velvety sweetness. Spice hits and builds. Vegetalness (think artichoke) and minerality combine very well. I get a floral honey suckle note that mingles along with a touch of anise that ticks on the back end. Quite astonishing. Finish. This carries forever. Wow.
Agave swap Nose: cooked agave, lime, citrus, earth, fresh Taste: cooked agave, white pepper, citrus Finish: white pepper,
Aromas de agave, cítrico, miel y ahumado y en el paladar agave, ahumado y picoso al final
1123 never disappoints. another banger with this one
Agave forward, subtle sweetness, the higher proof is not felt at al drinks like 80 proof. A good higher proof blanco would probably be better if it was $50 but ok at $65

Strong agave flavor with vegetal and earthy and a little bit of minerality. Good stuff.
