Nose: Oak, warm spices, sweet caramel, with a light nutty-vanilla vibe. Taste: Oak and baking spices lead, with caramel, toffee, almond, and a hint of green agave coming through at the end. Finish: Long, warm finish with nutty spice and oak. The barrel definitely shows after 5 years, but the agave isn’t lost. The 43% ABV gives it a nice lift. Value: A 5-year Extra Añejo for just over $70? That’s wild. Incredible value.
TMM BLIND Nose: earthy mushrooms, rustic, umami, lemongrass with a hint of honey Taste: The mushroom earthiness carries over to the taste. The taste is sweeter than the nose and some white and black pepper appear. Overall: This might be a like it or leave it profile. The palate is more pleasant than the nose. This might go well with food and cooking with it.
Nose: Sweet cooked agave right up front with a solid hit of black pepper. Subtle layers of oak, caramel, and vanilla peek through, giving it warmth without overpowering that agave core. Taste: Smooth and peppery with roasted agave at the center. Notes of light oak, caramel, and citrus zest develop as it opens up — clean, balanced, and approachable. Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering pepper spice and a gentle fade of vanilla and sweet oak. Simple, honest, and perfectly drinkable neat or over ice. Great price
Socorro Blanco opens with light notes of brine, mild agave, and citrus over a touch of alcohol and earth. On the palate, it’s crisp and easygoing — a blend of pepper, grass, and a hint of jalapeño with a mild sweetness that keeps it balanced. The finish is short but lingers softly with pepper and light bitterness. While not complex, it’s clean, approachable, and delivers solid value for the price — a reliable pour for sipping or mixing. Great price point

Tried this my first time as a TMM blind. I tried this again on an American Airline flight. This is an earthy tequila with a touch of funk. I personally find it enjoyable.
Starting June 1, the airline will begin offering tequila on select flights as an inflight alcoholic beverage option for eligible customers.
As the fastest growing spirit in the U.S., tequila has overcome its bad rap as the cheap, college hangover culprit, while simultaneously breaking into a fixated market, where vodka and whiskey previously reigned. What propelled this shift?
