Lalo Blanco This is a really fun blanco to sip. Fresh agave comes through right away, with some citrus, green pepper and a little sweetness behind it. It has a nice lively character without being too aggressive, and there’s a subtle earthy note that keeps it interesting. The kind of tequila that feels easy to enjoy but still gives you something to discover as you keep sipping.

Agave, black pepper, licorice, sweet finish. Very smooth

A lot going on with this blanco. Bright crisp clean with cooked agave citrus and black pepper up front followed by a vegetal and earthy flavor with some mint joining in. The pepper is up front and at the back end giving some heat at the finish. Definitely a good mixer for cocktails and a pleasant sipper for a blanco

Nose: raw agave, cooked agave, jalapeño and melon. Silky mouthfeel tastes of agave, butterscotch, honeydew & orange. Lingering finish of peppercorn and cinnamon. This has a different profile that a lot of other Blancos - warm spices, creaminess and naturally sweet. Great blanco borderline exceptional at the price point.

Decent agave aroma and taste. A little pepper and citrus aroma to me

Love that it’s so agave forward. Aroma: cooked agave, olive brine, citrus, green pepper. Taste: cooked agave, green pepper, olive brine Finish: olive brine, citrus. At the price, it’s a decent value!

Agave, cooked cinnamon and a really nice finish! For the price, this bottle is great!

This tequila is such an easy sipper. The nose is full of citrus, I get agave, and wild honey. I pull cinnamon out too. A very nice taste. I do get agave and more pepper than that which is on the nose. It has a good citrus profile. Lots of cinnamon and lots of mint. It has been a while since I have had Lalo and I like it better than I remember. Good finish that is lingering.

Updated 8-24-24 Nose: hint of agave / hint of vanilla/ touch of melon / hint of citrus / hint of anise / cream soda / this has very low/mild aromas - what’s there is good, it’s just a ‘hint’ of everything Taste: agave sweet cooked / vanilla/ anise / cinnamon / earth / pineapple/ apple / hint of lime / touch of mint / cream soda Finish: sweet agave, vanilla and cinnamon notes are in a good harmony that provide a unified single taste that separates into different notes as the finish happens. Watery mouthfeel still allows an agave, vanilla, cinnamon note to hold briefly on the last swallow. This blanco is very enjoyable all around. Ok nose, but really balanced and enjoyable flavor notes that are balanced and play nice together. The watery finish is clean and doesn’t hold the flavors long, but this is a good sipper for sure.

Possesses a light, clean aroma of agave and citrus. The flavor profile includes agave, citrus, black pepper and a hint of minerals. Nice long finish at an exceptional price point.

A great sipping blanco at a fantastic price point. This one does not disappoint and is very enjoyable. Nose: cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, cinnamon, earth, vegetal, and minerals. Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, vegetal, minerals, and fruity. Absolutely enjoyed this one and glad to see it is readily available at a great price point.

Nose: Clean crisp citrus, cooked agave with some raw elements. Floral and herbal elements. Slight raspberry note. Palate: Light to medium viscosity and mouth feel. Agave from the start. Soft sweet vanilla cream. Very mild white pepper on the finish. Nice clean solid blanco. Was able to snag it for $35 at total wine. Great value

Excellent sipper or great for cocktails. Versatile, similar to Tapatio, considering how much bang for your buck Lalo is.

All around good. Nothing crazy stands out but there’s definitely nothing wrong with this. Good tequila!

Nose: agave, citrus, vegetal, cinnamon, mineral, green apples or pears, earth. Palate: same as nose with sugary flavor Finish: short, mild, not much to it . Something is missing but can’t put my finger on it

Nice, oily legs in the glass. Aroma of cooked agave, citrus and vegetal. Flavor of cooked agave, lots of black pepper spiciness and citrus. Long finish.

What a fantastic trail this blanco leaves you! Buttery charged smooth texture with a smidge of vanilla and york peppermint patty. Love this one

Bottle: 43LL40B 022, 17/?/22, Bottle No. G135772 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked agave, citrus, lemon, lime, tangerine, black tea, black pepper, minerality, wet cement, cedar, cream soda, brine/salinity, olive, wet and cut grass, mint, toasted bread, dry earth, butter, and alcohol…a solidly-good start Palate: Cooked agave, black and white pepper, cut grass, alcohol, citrus, minerality, black tea, parsley, mint, anise, brine/salinity, olive, and cedar…the complexity doesn’t quite measure up to the nose Finish: Alcohol, cooked agave, black pepper, cut grass, and lemon…very alcohol forward with a thinner mouthfeel and a medium-long finish Overall: The nose was, by far, the best. While less complex, the palate was also very good. The finish was the least balance part of the experience, but by no means bad. Bottom line-this is a really good tequila for not a lot of money and available basically everywhere.

Refined, nostalgic, and beautiful. You can taste the attention to detail and commitment to process. No shortcuts, no additives, no bs. This is a lightly peppered, cooked agave forward, slight citrus gentle giant of a tequila. I don’t need t fly to Tequila when I can get there with this bottle. Extraordinary!

Lote from 2020 (before the move to all copper pot still.) Nose: Softly spiced. Hints of pear, citrus, green agave, sulfur and lime. Kissed with a floral note. Flavor: Round spices. Vanilla, pineapple and cinnamon. A touch of saltiness. Slow, rolling, warming pepper spreads across the palate. Silky texture. A straight forward easy sipper. Lalo should appeal to a wide spectrum of tastes.

Strong agave forward, subtle sweetness with a mild peppery finish. Definitely a top blanco. A must for your bar.

Aroma doesn't fight fot your attention but you can discern agave for sure witg light lime, cinnamon, and sugars. Flavor is a big bite of cooked agave uo front followed by peppery, minty, citrus with a touch of vanilla cake frosting. Would stand up well as a mixer even though I'd only ever drink it neat myself.

Day 3: Aroma: agave,brine, citrus, green bell pepper, water, faint caramel, faint alcohol. Taste: Agave, pepper, orange peel, earthy, caramel, sweet fruit, brine Finish: fruity/citrus and green bell pepper, faint heat Easily consumed neat. I enjoy this tequila but it does not have that "wow" factor to me, the longer I sit with it though, I do tastefully appreciate all that it delivers.

Aroma: Clean minerality, some herbal notes, with aromas similar to a high-proof blanco. Taste: Light and mild sweetness, with a light mouthfeel and a flavor of primarily cooked agave. Finish: Surprising! A nice vegetal and herbal finish, coupled with cooked agave, some lime zest, and black pepper. Blind Test Update: Aroma: A strong, primarily earthy aroma, with vegetal notes, as well as citrus, light basil, and a hint of mint. Taste: A flavorful blend of agave, lime citrus, garden herbs, light cucumber, with a touch of sweetness. Finish: Ends on a sweet vegetal finish, the cucumber gives way to notes of celery. Herbal and earthy notes as well as agave, citrus, and a lingering minerality.

A – Agave, black pepper, and limestone initially, giving way to strong citrus scents (equal parts lime, orange, grapefruit, lemon…I seemed to pick up subtle notes of each). Moments of cola/anise and baking spices (most notably cinnamon and clove). I also had cocoa and vanilla bean hitting my tastebuds during the nosing process. Great aroma! T – First sip instantly had me thinking green…mint, grass, jalapeno, thyme, rosemary, etc. Cooked agave settled in and stuck around while black pepper, olive, and a slight hint of smoke entered the show. F – Finish was quite good, almost exclusively cooked agave, but a little short for me. Overall – This is an everyday sipper for me. Straightforward blanco, high quality, has everything I like.
