    “Agave comes forward in the aroma along with oak, citrus, and strong detections of alcohol. The taste gives you agave blended well with oak and vanilla and has a medium peppery finish along with the Agave. Not my go to Añejo, but it's a decent sipper for the price. I like it, but like the Blanco more. ”

    “A really good Blanco, although not my fav compared to my bottle of Ocho. Agave forward and vegetal on the nose with hints of mineral. On the palate it's a nice cooked agave and citrusie mix with a long peppery finish with the right amount of heat that's not overpowering. Pretty much what I expected from reviews and I'm pleased, so it's on to try the Añejo as I prefer a blend of smokiness to the agave.”

    “On the nose: sweet cooked agave, oak, and vanilla. This has an excellent flavor full of agave, oak and citrus. It finishes nicely with the agave lingering in front of a smooth balance of caramel and pepper. This is a really good quality Reposado and I can't wait to taste the Añejo.”

    “Aroma is light and mellow with hints of fruit and chocolate. Notes of caramel, vanilla, and chocolate plus the aging in wine barrels contribute to its sweet flavor. It sips easily and it's not bitter, but does have a slight spicy punch. Gotta say, I know it's not for everyone, but I really enjoyed this bottle, especially for the $25 price at Costco!”

    “Aroma: Strong and pleasant agave hits the nose. Flavor: Again the agave pleasantly rises through, accompanied with pepper, grass, and hints of citrus. Finish: Silky smooth pepper. This is an amazing Blanco. ”

    “2023 Agua Nueva: Aroma: agave, citrus, and mint. Flavor: Sweet and beautifully warm and thick with agave, lime, anise and pepper dancing on the palate. I obviously need to explore this brand further. There's many different regions that they harvest from, and vintages that were distributed. So far, this 2023 Agua Nueva has got to be the best tasting Blanco I've ever had. ”

    “This is a very smooth tequila. The aroma is a light hint of butterscotch, vanilla and apricot. The barrel aging forwards the depth and complexity well. The caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, light pepper and oak flavor that I love in an Añejo are represented nicely here with smooth agave finish. ”

    “Bought this tonight based on a recommendation. Strong Agave aroma and tastes good. It finishes with agave, pepper and alcohol. Not a sipper for me personally, but it'll definitely be used for my Tommy's Margarita.”

    “I made the buy to sip this. Mistake! Aroma: agave, light citrus, herbal. Taste: fruity, candy-like and peppery, but with a nice amount of agave.”

    “Some Agave and mint hit, but that chemical aftertaste makes it only good as a mixer. Definitely not for sipping.”

    “This is probably good for making barrels of margaritas, but I wouldn't purchase it again even for that.”

    “Aroma: alcohol and vinegar. Taste: rubbing alcohol and mouthwash. Just Horrible stuff that shouldn't even be used in a well.”

    “My first tequila. Many shots and hangovers drinking this golden crap. What can I say. I was young, stupid and in college.”

    “I had purchased this bottle while down in Mexico for $175 at the time. The oak, caramel, vanilla and agave came together smoothly. This was as close to a good bourbon that I've had in a tequila so far. Wish I didn't kill that bottle so fast!”

    “Don Julio was the first tequila to hit my tongue and the Blanco is priced right. The aroma is lime light, with pepper and spice. Taste is sweet with alcohol and citrus, but the agave pokes through nicely.”

    “A sweet aroma and bright nose. Oak, sweet vanilla and butterscotch come around with a nice bite, but not too strong. Money well spent for what I paid.”

    “This is the first time I've tried Milagro and it was the silver. I don't purchase blancos as often as I should, as I prefer an Añejo for sipping, however it was on sale so I said what the heck. For me, this is good for mixing only. My next purchase of Milagro will definitely be the Select Barrel Reserve Añejo. ”

    “This was an average tequila with a smoky taste close to a mezcal, but artificial. Sipping this was smooth, but I was disappointed with the diffuser and strong pepper finish. I don't hate it, but wouldn't recommend it either.”

    “Gotta admit that I went into this bottle expecting more and finishing with less. This is a really bad excuse for a tequila. It’s amazing that it gets the endorsements that it does. That heavy heavy taste of vanilla just overpowers the agave, making this tough to swallow. I suppose it would mix great with cherry vanilla coke...but then, who would wanna do that?”

    “A really good tasting tequila for the money. I made the purchase not knowing about this brand and was pleasantly surprised. The cooked agave and oak comes through nicely for me with a nice pepper finish.”
