Orendain Tequila Blanco

68 SCORE

“tastes like Japanese Sake. Grassy, hay-like perhaps. Brought images of meadows to mind on a hot summer day after days of rain. Didn't seem at all strong, especially considering price. Was expecting it to be harsh, but was surprisingly smooth. A bit of alcohol on entry, but diminished quickly. Mid to long finish, might get tiring after a couple ounces. I bought this budget tequila to experiment against a couple of respected Reposados to better know what raw/cooked agave might taste like unaffected by the barrel. Definitely gives me something to seek in future tests. I'd recommend if you're looking for a $10 tequila”
