Blind tasting with AMM: This was an interesting blanco with a slightly different profile that leans into some creamy and earthy notes. On the nose, cooked agave comes through first, followed by a noticeable lactic quality that gives it a soft, creamy edge. Citrus adds a bit of brightness, while black pepper brings some lift. There’s also a vegetal note in the background that keeps it grounded and true to the agave. On the palate, the cooked agave carries through, joined by that same lactic character, which adds a smooth, almost creamy texture. Earthy notes become more pronounced here, along with a solid mineral backbone. Black pepper adds a touch of spice on the finish, tying everything together. Overall, this is a unique and well balanced blanco with a creamy, earthy profile that stands out from more citrus-forward expressions. It’s a thoughtful pour that rewards a slower sip.

Tasted blind. Aromas are a bit muted but I pick up some olive brine and sweetness. Flavors followed suit but it kept me sipping on and on. Finish was quick with mint and some melon.

Blind tasting via AMM: Loads of fruit overpowering this one. Aromas and flavors deliver cantaloupe and banana. It’s got a nice long spicy finish. Extra points for value.

Quite closed off on the nose compared to other blanco’s in the flight. This is a very rustic, earthy nose with rocks, gravel, mulch, mint, intense black pepper, pumpkin, and a lactic character. On the palate is anise, bell pepper, vegetal notes, rocks, lactic, cinnamon, pumpkin, black pepper and licorice notes. This is an austere blanco, one that I enjoy quite a lot actually. It’s challenging and unique with a real grungey character. The nose opens up with a bit of airtime and the palate has a nice interplay between the bitter earthy notes and sweet cinnamon spice/pumpkin notes. Additionally, the arrival is viscous with a nice finish.

There’s a lot going on with the aroma here. First a blast of caramel/vanilla, which makes me think these agaves are very well cooked. But then the aroma evolves, and the top of the glass is a lot different than the bottom. Top: cooked agave and licorice. Bottom: eucalyptus and vegetal (like raw green bell pepper). Definitely let this open up! Flavor is slight vanilla, anise, and agave. Finish: sharp, dry, kinda short. This is a real/rustic tequila that shows another side of agave not commonly found.
