Alma del Jaguar Tequila Blanco

Clase Azul Reposado

72 PUNTAJE

“While watching Mexico beat Ecuador in the round of 32 in the World Cup. Finally caved and bought a 375ml of this as I felt I should try this even though I know it’s over priced and hyped. And since a 375ml bottle is about the cost of three pours of it in a bar, (and I get to keep the bottle) why not. Nice copper color, but likely coloring. Muted cinnamon smell with hints of clove, barrel, and agave. Thick mouthfeel with a weird sugary texture. Some nice cinnamon toast flavors. A little vanilla in back. And a little too much head in finish that lingers. Not bad. But yes, overhyped and over priced. ”

Tequila Mi Campo Blanco

61 PUNTAJE

“Purchased because I wanted a 375ml bottle and this was about all they had at the ABC in Lake Wales, FL Smell is very green agave with a vanilla. Taste is similar which is a little off putting. The vanilla taste a little fake and is likely an additive. And that vanilla taste continues throughout. Finish is a little more spicy and alcohol hot balanced with that vanilla. This sorta sucks. But it’s cheap. ”
