Bottle: AMM’s First Blind Tasting of 2026, Bottle #6 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked agave, citrus, orange, herbal, spearmint, menthol, vanilla, alcohol, minerality, butter, dry earth, and white pepper…really needed some time to open up Palate: Cooked agave, vegetal, parsley, herbal, spearmint, menthol, anise, citrus, ruby red grapefruit, lemon, lime, vanilla, minerality, butter black and white pepper, and dry earth…pretty closely matches the nose Finish: Alcohol, black and white pepper, herbal, and vanilla…long with a thick mouthfeel, but doesn’t seem like an adequate follow up to the nose or palate My blind score: 85 Panelist average blind score: 84.75 Difference: +0.25 Overall: Despite my middle of the road score, I liked this one quite a bit. Some tequilas are just easy to drink and enjoy, without demanding too much attention…it’s kind of like having an affection for heavy metal music overall, but needing a relaxing stint of classical piano while enjoying a a meal at a nice restaurant. It was consistent across the nose and palate, but with enough evolution to keep it interesting. It didn’t overwhelm in terms of intensity or profile, which would make this great for introductory pours or tastings. Sometimes I forget that the smoky/funky/dry martini/blue cheese bombs for which I’m always on the prowl aren’t always received with my same degree of enthusiasm. If it wasn’t for the flat-ish finish, this would have ranked right up there with the traditional heavy hitters in my 87-89 score space. This is definitely a tequila (and brand) to keep an eye on.

Blind tasting with AMM: This was a bright and lively blanco that immediately stood out for its freshness and energy. On the nose, cooked agave comes through clearly, backed by a vibrant citrus note that really pops. There’s a vegetal backbone that keeps it grounded, while black pepper adds a bit of lift. Overall, the aroma is very bright and inviting. On the palate, the cooked agave leads again, followed by a distinct orange brine note that gives it a slightly salty, citrusy twist. Black pepper adds a gentle spice, while vegetal notes round things out and keep it balanced. The finish is especially interesting. It feels like it evolves over time, shifting between citrus, brine, and pepper as it lingers, which keeps each sip engaging. Overall, this is a clean, expressive blanco with a bright profile and a savory edge that makes it both refreshing and dynamic to sip.

Tasted blind. Excellent citrus and minerals in the aroma. Very good minty, agave vegetal flavor with some anise coming through in the finish. Enjoyable all around.

Always like seeing new brands that are legit and worth tasting. This entire line up is solid.

Blind tasting via AMM: Mint, grass, pepper, and agave carries through the aroma and flavors. Nice little tingle but an easy drinker. Extra points for value.

On first contact I’m not in love with this samples profile. On the nose is an acetone note, it’s bitter, astringent and takes away from the florals and cooked agave. On the palate is a spicy bomb, it’s allspice, black pepper, brine, herbaceous, vanilla cream, and slight acetone. Drying on the finish. Not my favorite.

• Visual: Good viscosity. Clear with clear medium edge. • Initial Nasal Impact: Prickle. • Aroma: Citrus blast, lemon grass, herbal, cinnamon, floral. • Mouthfeel: Oily with sufficient alcohol. Very drying. • Flavor: Lemon grass, cinnamon, cocoa, candied lemon, red hots, sweet potato. • Finish:

I am getting a caramel/vanilla vibe going on in both the aroma and flavor, and although this is pleasant, I'm wishing that were more subtle so other elements could shine through. It has a thick and dry finish that brings out citrus on the palate at the end. I would pour this for someone just getting into tequila because I think it makes a great starting point.

Absolutely delicious, and you got to love that bottle

Fresh, crisp, nicely balanced mineral and baked agave. True to volcanic origin for sure. Fresh and delicious with a nod to traditional flavor profile.
