Old black bottle.
Nose: Cooked agave opens the door, but it quickly gives way to a firm wave of anise and cool mint. There’s a green, vegetal tone that leans into fresh bell pepper, backed by a clear mineral streak. Underneath it all sits a soft malolactic funk that adds a savory, almost cultured note, giving the profile depth without muddying it. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture is thin on entry yet carries a subtle buttery quality that rounds it out. Flavors mirror the nose closely - sweet agave up front, followed by anise and mint that push the herbal character forward. The funk found on the nose doesn’t quite make the jump to the palate, leaving things cleaner and more defined. The sweetness is elevated, and while the herbal notes are a bit assertive for my preference, they’re delivered with clarity and precision. Finish: Anise and sweet agave take the lead into the finish, giving off an almost herbal Good & Plenty impression. It’s clean and direct, fading in a timely way without overstaying. Final Thoughts: This is clearly well made and thoughtfully layered. The structure is there, and the flavors are distinct and intentional. For my palate, the vegetal and herbal tones lean a bit too far forward, but there’s no denying the craftsmanship behind it.
Just not very good. From the fake smell and chemical taste. Definetly altered. The agave is lost through out all of this.
Smell of oak and vanilla. The agave is not there. The taste is syrup and artifical sweetner. Its not that it tastes bad but it is altered to taste this way. Not what I like in a tequila.
Blind tastings are the best way to find out what you really like, free of marketing hype, bias, and previous experiences. They also give you the opportunity to experience tequila in a whole new way—using only your senses.
Tequila has changed a lot since the early days. Most producers have switched from time consuming, old-school methods to high-efficiency production. But has this trend helped or harmed the overall quality of tequila?
When it comes to selling tequila these days, retailers and restaurateurs have little trouble getting product to move off the shelves and from the back bar. But the question is: which products?
Bottled in elegant, curvy bottles whose labeling reflects three generations of Sauza tequila, Tres Generaciones at first might seem like Sauza's attempt at an artisanal tequila.
