my rating is for the Paladar Anejo ETXWC sib sample from agave swappers (my notes dont say who sent the sample) 46abv / 92 proof 2yr aged i'm really enjoying this expression! not sure what the regular paladar anejo is like. but this sib is quite good
Sampled at Starved Rock Tequila Fest. Better than I expected!
Paladar Still Strength is a tequila I genuinely enjoy. It opens with bright cooked agave, fresh citrus, and a light herbal note. On the palate, you get a clean burst of pepper, sweet agave, and a nice mineral backbone that keeps it balanced. The finish is warm and lingering without being harsh. A really solid still-strength sipper that delivers authentic character.
