Tres Agaves Blanco

“Nom 1522 I had lower expectations for this but it is ok as a blender. Straight a bit thin bodied but getting agave, spice, semi-sweet. ”

Tres Agaves Blanco

80 SCORE

“I had lower expectations for this one. Bought to use as a mixer but not bad straight. If you must have an organic tequila this is not a bad option. I think a bit thin and a little rough though. Solid agave, some spice, pepper. Thin bodied. ”

Sin Rival Silver Tequila

83 SCORE

“I’m not sure I agree with many who say this is overly sweet/artificially sweet but I would agree that it lacks depth and complexity. It opens well but not mind-blowing. Maybe not one to enjoy straight on ice but I do like it on ice w/ a squeeze of lime. There are better blancos to enjoy as a sipper but this is not bad. Creamy, sweet, mild citric, sugar cane, not an agave-forward blanco.”

Tequila G4 Blanco

87 SCORE

“Buttery, clean, cooked agave, honey, orange zest, vanilla. A solid blanco that is satisfying to drink. Seems to thin a bit as it opens up but overall, a very good one that I wound certainly buy again. ”

“Intense. Great. Aroma: slightly hot but nice citrus Flavor: cooked agave, honey, pepper, mint and basil. Citric. Gently sweet. Hot but the sweetness works well to balance things. An exciting one! ”

Tapatio Blanco 110

89 SCORE

“This is an excellent blanco. I would put it behind Calle 23 and Cascahuin though. Lots of cooked agave, honey, citrus, green apple, mint. White pepper. Hot for sure. I can’t help but wonder if the alc. is clouding some of the complexity. Overall a treat. Get it!”

Cascahuín Aniversario Blanco

92 SCORE

“As of the week of 2/9/20, this was not at old town liquor. I got this bottle at Mercado Del Mar in rosarito yesterday. US $80 I did not think I would find a blanco I liked better than Calle 23 but I did and this is it. I scored both 92 but I would choose this over the Calle. I found this just a bit more interesting but I have not tried side by side. That would be a fun tasting. Nose came off as a tad hot. Flavor, wonderful. Semi-sweet. Super smooth. Creamy. Cooked agave. Carmelized brown sugar. Sugar cane. Some earth. Slight citrus and ripe tropical fruit. Outstanding. ”

Patrón Añejo

61 SCORE

“My score here is a bit low because I would not recommend and “might” drink again. Probably really a very low 80 though. I don’t think horrible but super thin, lacking depth and not complex at all. But...if options bleak might be decent choice. ”

Calle 23 Criollo

92 SCORE

“One of my favorites—not just favorite blanco, but one of my all time favorite tequilas. Surprisingly sweet. A tad hot on aroma but opens up really nicely. Honey, cream, cooked agave, vanilla, Thai basil, some pepper, and green apple. Complex, sweet, super enjoyable. ”

Cascahuín Extra Añejo

91 SCORE

“I like this one a lot. Not overly woody or overly sweet as many extras are. Lovely cooked agave, honey, caramel. Great oily mouthfeel. Soft white pepper in the finish. ”

Fortaleza Blanco (Still Strength)

92 SCORE

“Lot 4 does not seem overly “hot” to me. Big cooked agave. Super clean. Lots of sugar cane and honey. A little citrus/orange zest perhaps. Layers of flavor. I’m a fan of Fortaleza but this might be my favorite of their offerings. ”

Riazul Silver

Suerte 8-year Extra Añejo 2018 "Lucky Lips"

88 SCORE

“I like all Suerte tequilas I have tried so I was excited about this one. In short: very good but not blown away. Once you factor in price, I’m not sure worth the experience. Lovely aroma. Flavors of honey creme brûlée. Honey and caramel dominate. Vanilla. Roasted agave. Wet clay and a little white pepper. Silky mouthfeel. On the sweet side but not cloying. There is oak and wood present but nice because not over-bearingly so. It does open up well. I just upped my rating a tad. ”

“And excellent blanco. Layers of flavor and surprisingly sweet. Citrus nose and taste. Lighter agave but apple, brown sugar and honey. A fun one!”

La Gritona Reposado

82 SCORE

“Not great but not bad either. For price, $29/bottle, a solid choice for a decent reposado. Some oak, clean finish. A good mid-week option. ”

Clase Azul Plata

“Some pepper. Agave. A bit on the sweet side. Pleasant over ice but not something I will think about when I finish the glass.”
