43% ABV 86 Proof
Earthy nose and subtle palate. Not bad, just not a lot going on. It’s an easy sipper.
After trying siembra ancestral 2025, I thing this is a great one, most impressive thing they are using the same artesanal process, bringing those nice nose notes of thyme, oregano and rosemary, palate of pickles, brine, smoke and hot finish but really pleasant !! I can say wow to this one!!
Blanco artesanal / lote 060224 Bottle: 565 / 40 abv: Stone oven, mazo y canoa, wooden fermentation vats, copper pot still. Solid traditional process — though by NOM-006 this is ancestral, not artesanal as labeled. Master Distiller states he’s the only producer using mazo y canoa. That’s not accurate — Siembra Valles Ancestral uses the same method and is worth the comparison. On the palate: cooked agave, citrus, light pepper, clean finish. Well made. No faults. If you’re new to ancestrally produced tequila, this is a decent entry point into what the process can express. For the more experienced palate, the profile stays within expected range without pushing deeper. The process is there — the complexity isn’t fully realized yet.
