Bottle: Botella No. 08141/10000, L 001 25, 220 09:51 3 Appearance: Clear Initial thoughts… Nose: Herbal, eucalyptus, vanilla Palate: Alcohol, vegetal, raw agave Finish: Cinnamon, fake fruit, medicinal Final review pending…

First off -- I was super excited to see that Casa Cuervo was going to release a product like this. Congrats to them for going in this direction. The aromas are faint and I don't think this is as expressive as Fortaleza Blanco, for example. (I compared them side-by-side.) But I get eucalyptus, anise/licorice, and a touch of pine on the aroma. There's a tiny bit of agave there, and I can detect a bit of the "fermentation-with-fibers" aroma too. But it's subtle, and that's a shame because I'd like there to be more of that. Based on the aroma alone, I am wondering if this is 100% tahona-crushed. I couldn't figure it out from the label or the website/marketing materials. Or perhaps it undergoes a filtration step not mentioned? The flavor has a little bit of vanilla and some agave sweetness, with anise/licorice, but not as complex as I've come to expect with 100% tahona-crushed products. It's not a bad product, and yeah, I would drink this again, but it's not super expressive and rustic like many of the tahona-made tequilas that we all know and have been loving for years.

L 001 25 220 bottled on 06-08-2025, tasted on 4-25-26. Aroma: light raw agave, slightly mineral, hint of cooked agave, after 20 minutes in the glass a hint of unnatural sweetness emerges. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, hint of sweetness that quickly dissipates and ends a tad bitter. Quite bland. Finish is short to medium, hint of raw agave with a tad of bitterness persists but not too long.

Intensely sweet nose, very clean as well but at the same time a little earthy. Next to nothing on the pallet, too smooth and zero flavors I’d associate with a tahona product. Finishes like a glass of water.

Damn good

Dirt on the nose. Like really dirty, maybe muddy is better. And while I don’t claim to sort tahona from other methods, this one makes me think I can taste the big rock. Mouthfeel is good. Smooths out the nose. Same earthiness, but softened. Easy finish. And it’s organic. And a nice note from Dobel sharing that proceeds go to communities in need. Both of those things ad a point or two to the score.

Similar to San Matias Tahona. Tastes like a mixture of Tahona and Roller Mill. Still decent. Better option is El Tesero Blanco or G4 Blanco. Much better at similar price. No comparison to great products like Cascahuin Tahona and Alto Canto.
