Maestro Dobel 50 Extra Añejo Tequila - 1971

76 SCORE

“I want to start by saying that this was gifted to me. This tequila has a nice presentation with the box, bottle and top. Bottle #08829 10/08/21. The tequila itself is heavily manipulated. Nose of oak, alcohol and fruit. Oak foward with a medicinal fruit flavor alongside some caramel and vanilla. Thin mouthfeel. Overly sweet finish with some pepper. Its not bad tasting but its not exactly what I am looking for in a tequila. There are many better ways to spend this kind of money on multiple tequilas. ”

Fuenteseca Cosecha 2020 - "La Tuna De Arriba"

95 SCORE

“I have compared the 2020 and the 2018 side by side twice now. Once when I first opened the 2020 and again after about a month of it being open. The 2020 has an amazing nose of agave, pepper, citrus, and cinnamon, with some brine. Such a buttery mouthfeel with mega agave on the palate with earth, cinnamon, citrus, pepper, and some light fruit notes with a touch of honey on the finish. I love the 2018 and never thought anything would top it but the 2020 does with its more intense flavor and complexity. So worth seeking out, or dont and save it for me!”

Ocho Tequila Plata

“Agave y mas agave on the nose with pepper, minerals and citrus. The agave shines front and center on taste just like the rest of the ocho line! It also has a nice balanced citrus and earthy taste with a blast of pepper on the finish. Such a good value!”

Chamucos Extra Añejo

90 SCORE

“The best of the Chamucos line in my opinion! Very nice packaging and presentation. Nice color and legs in the glass. Oak, vanilla, fruit and agave on the nose. Delicious agave that is maintained along side fruit notes that I love in a tequila. It has some pepper, oak and caramel. The finish has the Chamucos funk that is present in the blanco with a nice fruit fade. Seek this one out!”

Tau High Proof Extra Añejo

89 SCORE

“Very nice tequila from Tau. Nice oak, caramel, vanilla and agave nose. Quite oak forward on the taste due to the extended barrel time. Touches of fruit and caramel with a nice spice finish. Love the higher proof and comes in a very nice box. ”

Jose Cuervo Especial Gold

45 SCORE

“Not as offensive as the silver but still un godly awful. The plastic medicinal smell is still there. Slight fake sugar taste and finish. This is the result of making tequila with all the wrong processes. I dont typically give Un drinkable ratings but this is just that.”

Jose Cuervo Especial Silver

42 SCORE

“This is almost like tequila flavored nail polish. Nose is medicinal raw agave. Taste has little to no agave with an astringent alcohol flavor. Plastic like finish. Not even good as a mixer. ”

Chamucos Diablo Blanco

87 SCORE

“I dig the Chamucos line! NOM 1586. Agave, pepper, minerals and a punch of cheese on the nose. The taste has a bit of complexity to it with agave, citrus, pepper, minerals, earthiness and hot cinnamon with some alcohol. Does not drink like 55%. Nice mouthfeel. Finish has some brine that goes well with the profile. ”

El Jimador Blanco Tequila

65 SCORE

“AMM Blind. I wanted badly to edit this one after locking in my answers. This has a strong minty, alcohol aroma with a bit of agave left. The taste is better than the smell for myself. The taste has quite a bit of fruit (fake), the mint is still strongly there with anise, mineral and some agave. It leaves a light fruit finish that is medicinal.”
