    “2021 La Mula - Slightly moldy wood on exhalation. Slight caramel (not fake) flavors, smooth, but still a little spicy like a spicy tequila is (as opposed to some very mellow spirits). Pretty well balanced overall. Doesn’t have the intensity of some darker añejos by far. Light in color. Good for sipping, but not too slow sipping. ”

    “2023 San Jerónimo Very little bit smoky on exhalation, otherwise bright and clean flavor profile. Liking this. Probably good for all 3 modalities. Make a great go-to blanco ”

    “Smells like oak sap or campfire sans smoke. Very good middle of the road quality tequila. Oaky maybe a hint of caramel; little harsh little smooth just right ”

    “Has a bit of a home distilled profile. Otherwise fairly typical quality blanco. Medium-to-fairly harsh. Better when blended”

    “Very harsh alcohol, but then smooth and amiable flavor or lack of a strong one. Agave maybe? Black pepper a little maybe. Does well in blends”

    “Super good and complex. Oak, caramel, little vanilla. Slight hint of grapa-like aftertaste, smell of latex?”

  • BS Balazs S. rated 1300d ago

    “Caramel (a little darkened) and vanilla as intense as it comes. Little sweetness. No off flavors detected. So perfect I wonder if the flavors are from additives? NOM 1609 Hand rub test leave beeswax smelling/touching residue. The legs on the glass are ridiculous, almost oily in appearance. ”

    “The high abv makes this a very harsh drink. Tastes like the regular blanco is a watered down version of this one. 48 percent vs 38”
