I've really been digging high proof blancos lately and this is another good one. N- agave up front, mango, herbs, anise, citrus fruit T- Cooked agave, anise, lemon, a little ethanol but expected, and some nice minerality that I missed on the nose. MF- thin F- long spicy agave finish V- $70 in Michigan so a decent value for a quality high proof blanco

Lagrimas la Sabina Sample from Matt Agave Swappers Nose: minerality, mint, fruit, citrus, mild anise as it opens Palate: sweet agave bomb, mint, anise with some pepper on the finish

This brand continues to give great offerings. This la Sabina is a hit.

Very subtle aromas on this one. It’s lightly aged, so there’s still agave, along with earth and a tiny bit of vanilla. Flavor is agave and a little dried fruit, but not very complex. Still a solid Reposado that is easy to drink even at 46%.

While the Blanco was fantastic, I think the wood has muted a lot of my favorite flavors and aromas. It’s a little more subdued than the Blanco and not in a good way.

While the Loma has some minty sweetness the Sabina is more earthy with lots of smooth minerals (is that a Michael Jackson song) and an easy finish. Great!

Agave, earth, lemongrass, limestone and anise aromas. Cooked agave is big on the flavor and finish, as I have come to expect with Cascahuin. Flavor also has earth, black pepper, brine, and mint. Overall an excellent product, at 46% abv, it’s still easy to drink.
