Nice sipper, what you'd expect out of 1414, the sake give it nice note, faint but there. All in all its sweet agave, nice pepper notes, good value in $40-50 range.

Amazing profile! Tasting notes coming soon

Nose: Cooked agave leads with a touch of citrus and green herbs. There’s a light floral accent and a dusting of spice, but nothing too bold. The profile feels straightforward, leaning clean and crisp rather than layered. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium in body, smooth and easygoing. Cooked agave and citrus carry the flavor, joined by mild pepper and a hint of cinnamon. A soft vegetal note lingers in the background. The overall impression is balanced but restrained, without the punch or depth of higher-tier blancos. Finish: Clean and simple, with agave and pepper fading gently. It lingers just enough to remind you of the core flavors, then leaves the palate refreshed. Final Thoughts: Rimari Blanco is not overly complex but is solid - a reliable, approachable tequila that does its job without reaching for fireworks. It’s not aiming to impress collectors with complexity, but as a budget friendly sipper or mixer, it offers good value and honest agave character.

Rimari blanco Thank you Matt C Agave Swappers for the sample! Nose: starts with minerality, vegetal and floral notes. then i got agave, citrus and some pepper Palate: agave, citrus, minerality, pepper Finish: soft and quick (i wanna say smooth = in a good way) with a fizzy zing (maybe the yeast?) Overall: clean, well-balanced and easy to sip. Maybe too easy! p.s. I just read that this uses sake yeast for fermentation. I really like it!

Sergio Cruz did it again, this time using sake yeast. It's absolutely amazing, a nice floral soft sweet fragrant fruity presence...I really like this one. Easily an 89.

Sample via Agave Swappers Nose: Cooked agave, limes, minerals Taste: Cooked agabe, grapefruit, oranges, black pepper, minerals Finish: The citrus notes follow into the finish, along with some black pepper and mint Overall: Really nice tequila. The nose is familiar but the flavor is quite unique, as I haven't really picked up grapefruit from any other tequilas I've tried.

Received as a sample from Agave Swappers Aroma: crisp agave and light minerals Taste: very light and well balanced. I picked up agave, some slight fruity effervescent notes, and mild pepper. I think the sake yeast really mellows it out Finish: short. Not the usual strong hits of pepper I’m used to from blancos, which I’m guessing might be from the sake yeast. Overall: I like it!

The Brand is owned by Dheeraj Naidu. He worked with Sergio Cruz to find a different profile. They succeeded with using Sake Yeast in their fermentation. This brand isn't available Stateside, yet. But, I do suggest finding it once it is!!! The production began with 6+ year Agaves being harvested. Once harvested the were slow cooked in Stone/Brick Ovens before being Macerated with Roller Mills. The Fermentation was done in Stainless Tanks with Sake Yeasts. It was then distilled twice in Copper Stills before a slight rest in Stainless Tanks with Oak Staves being added. It was then bottled at 40%ABV. I was fortunate to have this today and later have dinner with Dheeraj and his wife Brundi. Aroma: Raw Agave and Lemongrass run out the gates. Citrus also plays a major part. Cinnamon adds a nice spice note. There is a nice Vegetal note along with a very Herbal Complexity as this open up. Towards the end, a light Vanilla note enters the game. Taste: Sweet Cooked Agave mixes with a Raw Agave. Lemongrass blends itself with soft Herbal notes. A nice kick of Cinnamon and Black Pepper give this a spiciness. The Citrus from the nose continues to the palate! And Again, there is a faint Vanilla that has just enough Oak backbone to let you know there is a little wood present. Finish: Sweet Agave lingers with Citrus, Herbs, Cinnamon with Pepper hanging on the longest. This is a very easy sipper that will please many palates. Keep an eye out for Rimari!!! TMM--87 Salud!!!
