“I've really been digging high proof blancos lately and this is another good one. N- agave up front, mango, herbs, anise, citrus fruit T- Cooked agave, anise, lemon, a little ethanol but expected, and some nice minerality that I missed on the nose. MF- thin F- long spicy agave finish V- $70 in Michigan so a decent value for a quality high proof blanco ”

Siembra Valles Ancestral Blanco

87 SCORE

“Whoa. This is unique. I'm so glad I went into this blind. I knew it wasn't a mezcal but it definitely tastes like one. N- iodine, smoke, agave, citrus, anise and pine T- the exact same thing only the agave has a touch of sweetness to it. This is insanely unique. MF- oily F- Long pepper and anise V- Meh Once I was able to read the label it explained the smoke and the pine. This is very unique and something everyone should try. The price is steep and I personally can't justify buying another bottle but to some it might be worth it. ”
