I have a bottle of the new tahona Blanco so I wasn't sure what to expect. Aroma of cooked agave, alcohol (no surprise at 54% abv) citrus, minerals and anise. Flavor - the alcohol hit was unexpected, in a good way, cooked agave, black pepper, cinnamon and minerals. Finish is long and mellows out
Sampled at Sabor y Cultura Chicago 2026. Yes!! Very enjoyable high proof, worth seeking out.
NOSE: Cooked agave, citrus, pepper, clove, cinnamon, honey PALATE: Cooked agave, citrus, pepper, floral notes, cinnamon, NOSE and palate very similar with the exception of the floral notes
