Has that Mijenta unique and enhanced flavor profile. If you like Mijenta stuff then you’ll enjoy this one. It’s probably the most complex Mijenta I’ve had and I’ve had all the Mijenta line up (minus the cristalino) At 100 proof, it packs a punch of flavor!!
Best mijenta so far! Thanks Dan for the taste! More flavor than the regular Blanco and that’s saying something.
Very nice! I don’t need any sweetness but if I get some I’d like it to be like this just noticeable floral and agave on the nose earthy vegetal and clean. Complex keeps evolving On the palate I first get agave anise and sweet steamed agave. Just enough sweetness that it’s clearly there but not the life of the party. The life of the party is the steamed agave anise and vegetal. I had to double look what the proof was hardly feels like 100 proof. It’s nicely balanced and not till the very end does the heat become apparent as does the pepper. Solid no nonsense complex high proof nothing here can I suspect any difference from the clones and seed though.
On the nose: Brine, floral, citrus, sweet cooked agave, cherry, Pallet: Starts pretty hot, cooked agave comes in, pepper, citrus, Overall, I enjoy this tequila. I don’t know how much I can point to the unique process of starting from seed to any special flavors, but it’s a great juice with a unique approach.
Rated Blind
Nose is cooked agave, earth and grass. Taste is cooked agave, alcohol, pepper and mint. Glass was a Chisholm High Proof Jarrito.
Would like to revisit, had a small sample
• Visual: Clear w/ thin clear edge. Quick cascade, thin viscosity • Initial Nasal Impact: Prickle, slightly warming • Aroma: Cooked agave, orange citrus, wet stone • Mouthfeel: Buttery w/ sufficient alcohol • Flavor: Cooked agave, honey, clementine, anise • Finish: Long with black pepper and clementine
Tried in a sample cup. Nose is nice with sweet agave and some alcohol from the high proof. The taste is agave with some mint and earth. Very solid.
I wanted to like this more. Medicinal/alcohol on the nose with agave lingering in the background. The taste had more agave and the beginning of pepper. This finished with the pepper moving to the fore and the agave taking a backseat. There’s a pleasant bit of lip and mouth tingling which is certainly appropriate for a high proof product. I agree with other comments that this improves with some time to open up. I like the effort of growing from seeds but not enough to be “wowed “ . A nice product which I certainly will share and discuss with friends but certainly not an upper 80s when one figures in the price point.
Medicinal nose with some slight agave. There is a nice initial agave sweetness with some mild cinnamon on the palate. This is very mild in the mouth with some lower lip and tongue buzz. Medium length finish to wrap things up.
Blind: Light agave and lime on the nose. Agave and mineral taste.
A lot of minerality and anise with lots of earth and vegetal notes. A really nice high proof blanco.
Nice silky smooth mouthfeel with rich agave sweetness , citrus (grapefruit), slight vanillin right after then earthy and floralness that flows into a nice peppery finish
Nose: cooked agave, wet cement, herbal, alcohol, minty, ripe fruit Flavor: sweet agave, cinnamon, earthy, dried fruit, bitterness, with a creamy mouth feel Finish: long starts sweet and ends with white pepper
Nose: Beautiful juicy and ripe fruit on the nose. Silky smooth butter, caramel, and plenty of earth character. The fruit truly is the star of the show. Cherry, cider, prune, pear, grapes, and tropical fruit. Mild herbal pieces of celery and sage. Citrus comes in with a blast of orange, tangerine and no absence of grapefruit. Palate: Very nice body with plenty of viscosity. Similar to the nose, the fruitiness is the standout for me. Apple, banana, Cherry, cider, and berry. While there is agave character, it stands somewhat in the back. It’s like a beautifully ripe fruit salad with tequila gently poured over. Easily the most complex tequila I have to date.
Bottle: Bottle Number 01-0020875, MJ/BCO/MS/010224 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, vegetal, aloe vera, herbal, menthol, sage, anise, minerality, dry earth, butter, brine/salinity, olive, white pepper, alcohol, lactic, citrus, grapefruit, flowers, and cinnamon…undeniably unique Palate: Cooked and raw agave, cinnamon, alcohol, black pepper, peppermint, herbal, sage, anise, menthol/camphor, lemongrass, lactic, citrus, grapefruit, flowers, rose petals, vegetal, grass, brine/salinity, and butter…blasts of both flavor and heat Finish: Alcohol, peppermint, black pepper, anise, cinnamon, and raw agave…mostly heat, with a viscous mouthfeel and a long, warming presence Overall: First and foremost, this needs some time to rest and open up. With each subsequent tasting, I let it rest progressively longer. Now on my fourth revisit, and after about ~40 minutes, all I really have to say is “wow!” This really has a unique profile that, to me, is completely different from Mijenta’s core offerings. It’s not the most balanced in terms of heat, but the aromas and flavors are up front and in your personal space right away. I will be buying another bottle or two.
This is amazing!! I have had it a few times now and the more I have it open the better it gets! The nose is floral, earthy and lots of agave after it has rested. This may be my fav high proof. I can’t wait to do it in a blind. To many flavors to explain and the finish is amazing!!
let this sit and open. earthy cinnamon strawberry! keeps changing the longer it sits. interestingly, it's not as hot as u would expect for a 50 abv hp note, I gave it 80 pts in the tmm blind high-proof tasting 10/2024
Nose: Agave,Pumpkin, Earth, Melon, Sea Salt, Minerality, Black Pepper, Black Grape Mouthfeel: light to medium bodied Palate: Agave, Anise, Mint, Jalapeño Finish: Black Pepper, Cantaloupe, Mint and Heat
This is a unique high proof with a great nose, fantastic flavors, and an amazing finish. For being 100 proof there is hardly any heat on this one. Nose: cooked agave, earth, grass, cinnamon, vegetal, and orange peel. Palate: cooked agave, grass, olive, cinnamon, vegetal, citrus, and anise. The finish is my absolute favorite about this high proof. It just lingers around and has a great viscous mouth feel. Very enjoyable sipper.
There’s a lot going on here but the secret is to let this open up. Drink slowly! Aroma is earthy, floral, a bit fruity and cinnamon. But it keeps changing over time as the alcohol blows off, so it’s a fun experience as long as you have some time. Lots of agave sweetness and a super long finish. A touch of mint and creamy caramel flavors. This is a fun tequila, but seriously take it slow and cherish it. And the agave-from-seed thing is mind blowing
I was hoping to love this after some of the early press I saw. I do really like it but it doesn’t meet the hype for me. The nose is earthy and floral. I get raw and cooked agave. I like a chocolate note and this has it. Maybe even a little strawberry. I really like the nose. On the tongue, I was hoping for an explosion of flavors but I get a dominant note of alcohol, anise and minerality. Agave comes through but pulling out individual flavors is hard. I let this rest a while but it is a first pour. It is possible this goes up for me later but for now it is a good offering, not a great offering for me. This one gets better as it breathes. Updated by a few points on third pour. After rating this in a TMM blind, I do not think this one is for me. The alcohol just overpowers the flavors.
Clean agave and pepper on the nose. Pepper follows through the palate and finish with some heat. I like pepper so it’s good but the complexity is missing for me
