Aroma/Taste: Initially, the aroma presents musty olive and yeast notes, which are soon followed by the scent of cooked agave. There are also medicinal and anise aromas that come through, and on the palate, you experience a distinct mint and black pepper heat. Finish: The finish is somewhat harsh with medicinal and anise flavors, accompanied by a hint of solvents. However, it's not altogether unpleasant, as a touch of mint and cola lingers. Overall: Tasted blind, this is a solid tequila, it has a flavor profile that leans more towards peppery and savory notes, with less sweetness. I'd drink it neat, but would definitely use it in mixers (depending on the cost).
Blind TMM tasting: Distinct aroma I can’t quite pin down. Almost has some sawdust, leather, and sweetness. Flavors are more traditional with some sweet agave. Thin/short finish. Extra points for value.
From TMM Blind Panel- Aroma: Green juice- specifically celery based, saline, cooked agave, vegetal Flavor: Heavy sweet coconut, white sugar, cooked agave, floral Finish: Stays balanced, sweet, decently long. On the nose, I was initially turned off by the heavy celery notes, but I found myself wanting more. As it hit the pallet, that coconut was a unique and delicious flavor I rarely have in a tequila. Overall, I enjoyed this and could see myself pulling it out to show people unique flavors.
Nose: meaty, rubbery, smoke, minerality nose, very nice, pallet is same, very good quality sipper
Great price for this brand
Nose: It opens with a clear line of green olive and fresh agave, the two setting a savory foundation. A light citrus lift follows, but the alcohol shows itself more than expected, bringing a sharper edge that pulls in black pepper and a bit of earth. As it settles, a soft touch of honey rounds things out. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture lands thin but carries a faint oiliness that helps the flavors move. Agave steps forward first, followed by a minerality that brings a drying snap. Black pepper tightens things up, and a raw vegetable note runs through - something in the green, just cut range that adds a crisp edge. Honeysuckle adds a quiet floral moment, balanced by citrus and a nudge of anise as it heads toward the finish. Finish: It hangs on longer than expected, leaving anise and black pepper in a steady tingle across the tongue. Final Thoughts: There’s more alcohol presence here than you’d anticipate from an 80 proof blanco, but once it settles, the complexity shows itself. For a bottle that can be had for under $30, it delivers real quality for the money - a genuinely tasty budget blanco that over performs its price.
