KOKORO Tequila Plata

67 SCORE

“if it weren't for Grover and Scarlet rating this 90+ I'd assume people were either being paid for these reviews or offered free bottles to review it. It's a decent blanco expression from a relatively unknown NOM being licensed out for style-point bottling by a distillery that normally does vodka and whiskey. Crisp, clean agave with some nice mint notes and the well water adds a minerality that's appreciated, but this is absolutely nothing to write home about. You're better off saving the 85ish I'm finding it for and just buying G4, Ocho or Fortaleza blanco. Every one of these would blow the doors off this drink in every single comparable category, and I'd put good money on that.”
