“Smooth and nice smell. For a 46% Alc it’s smoother than some of the 40% lol. Definitely a solid pick for tequila reposado that gets more agave taste. ”

Cascahuín Plata 48%

“Aroma from the bottle is so rich in agave it’s appetizing. From a pour in my glencarin glass it is strong in alcohol and pepper smell. The flavor is spicy. The finish is mineral like sparkling water. It’s awesome as a mixer but an expensive choice. This a solid choice for enthusiasts but not for the casual drinker. No burn in my chest, it is pretty smooth like olive oil. I like to add limes and zero sugar ginger ale as a mixer with some agave syrup and salt. I recommend for those with a need for a stronger taste. ”

Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo

“Aroma is honey upfront then a praline cajeta scent. Flavor is spicy and oak. Finish is slightly tart and almost like a wine but holds up agave so that’s pretty cool. I’m not a big wine guy so this is something unique but not an absolute must have. I tried this neat with an orange slice for $36. ”

Tequila G4 Blanco Madera (Lot 03)

89 SCORE

“A sweet agave aroma then a pepper and citrus twist. Flavor is spicy but after a few sips it mellows out to a sweet lingering. Finish is mineral. There is no bitterness. I can sip this all day. I think the fermentation is key. I purchased for $79.99 which I think is high but there’s a demand for this kind of line of tequila so it makes sense. ”

“Aroma is strong to the nose but once you let it air out you really smell the agave, pepper, and hints of vanilla. Flavor is sweet at first and a tad spicy. The finish is very vegetable. I do enjoy this blanco. I came across this bottle for $39.99. I do recommend this bottle to any one wanting to really get that true tequila taste. ”

“Aroma is orange/caramel to ethanol. Flavor is citrus and intense oak. At first there is a burn and then it finishes bitter like an orange peel. I will use this as a mixer rather than to sip on. I got this bottle for $90.97 at Costco last year(2023) thinking it was a good deal but now it’s going for $70 or $60. ”

There is no burn. I think the bottle is overpriced. I got a neat pour in a snifter tasting glass for $150 on cino de mayo. VMC! ”

Clase Azul Ultra

80 SCORE

“Aroma smells like bourbon very thick and woodsy. It does not smell like tequila. Flavor is straight maple syrup. It’s crazy how sweet this is. Not a single alcohol taste. Finish is soft not even a warmth to the mouth or chest. It cost me $250 a pour. I had this neat in a crystal double old fashioned glass. The bottle being up to $2000 is insane but it’s just a hype. ”
