LALO Tequila Blanco

80 SCORE

“tried this neat and thought it was maybe a little over hyped. good, but had a very strong taste that I couldn't nail down, something between citrusy and vegetal. well made, but distinctive. Then I tried it in a Tommy's marg and it really shines in this application. great marg, ok sipper. ”

Arette Reposado

87 SCORE

“Nose is subtle with some oak, cooked agave, and a bit of pepper. Taste is full of cooked agave, pepper, pineapple, a hint of tropical fruit and a balanced sweetness. easy drinking as a sipper, and this would mix well I'm just about any recipe. At the price of 33 USD it is such a fantastic value for an additive free, well made and flavorful tequila. ”

“Nose of cooked agave, pepper, citrus and burnt sugar. round on the palette with peppery spice, slight sweetness and hint of oak. very long, warm finish with baking spices and more cooked agave. A really nice repo to sip on, and a good value at about 50 USD in my area.”

Don Fulano Reposado

“Subtle nose of agave and a little funk. Some minerality/wet stone aroma as well. medium body in the mouth with a pleasant, lightly oaked and mild agave flavor. Nice but quick finish with a little peppery note to close out. This is good enough to sip but maybe more suited to a good cocktail.”

Cascahuín Tahona Blanco

90 SCORE

“Agave, green olive and a hint of citrus and herbaceousness on the nose. taste amplifies the nose, with big cooked agave followed by a very subtle brine note, a little sweet and nice viscosity. I could sip this all night. satisfying and well rounded, with a big full bodied texture. Really good juice.”

Siete Leguas "Siete Décadas" Blanco

92 SCORE

“This is a pricey treat but given the average age of the Criollo agaves and the completely traditional production methods, I think it is aligned to the quality of the product. citrus and agave abound on the nose, with a wonderful minerality, and a little brine. nice rich oily body that coats the mouth, with a peppery finish. this is a really enjoyable sipper. ”
