NOSE: Cooked agave, vegetal, herbal, mint, some bitterness with citrus PALATE: Cooked agave, almond or nutty taste, hint of sweet cocoa. Pepper notes. FINISH: medium, slight linger This needs to open up. Very sweet first taste, but that goes away quickly

Emblema Blanco is an approachable tequila showing moderate cooked agave, bright citrus, and gentle black pepper. The palate leans slightly sweet with a green vegetal note and a clean finish. A subtle hint of mint or eucalyptus emerges on the back end, adding lift. Not an agave bomb, but well-made and versatile. At $100 for a Blanco it’s a little pricey. The packaging was amazing really cool box with a lot of information and I recently learned they do a lot for Charity so I look forward to learning more about that!

Aroma: cooked agave, herbs and mint, finishing with a strong bitter citrus note (maybe like a bitter grapefruit?) Taste: cooked and green agave, herbs, nutty, mint, and a little bit of a citrus/pepper note mid to finish Finish: pepper, floral, and vanilla notes The price tag ($100) is pretty steep, but it helps to know that 15% of each bottle goes to supporting the reopening of Museo Nacional de las Artes Gráficas (Graphic Arts National Museum).
