Alida Tequila Blanco Rose

66 SCORE

“This was my second rosé style tequila. Aroma: Fruit from the wine influence dominates, some subtle oak and alcohol (19) Palette: Thin mouthfeel, fruit from wine influence carries, some oak, heat that resonates in the nasal passage (20) Finish: Medium length with some heat left on the back of the tongue, fruity (19) This one was a bit disappointing as I like the regular blanco and the repo is decent.”

Alida Tequila Reposado

71 SCORE

“My first ever Reposado experience a few years back. Easy on the nose, but sweet; vanilla and some wood detectable, some alcohol. Taste is vanilla, sweetness, bit of alcohol. It’s an ok mouth feel. Finish has a touch of a burn, but not bad at all.”

El Tesoro Tequila Reposado

“Beautiful in the glass. El Tesoro distills to proof, which I really love. Nose: Agave, light vanilla, the blanco is not completely lost Palette: Great mouthfeel, viscous, agave, faint vanilla, a subtle whiskey note Finish: This finishes easy and medium length”

El Tesoro Tequila Añejo

91 SCORE

“Batch A-015 Nice legs in the glass, coats well, excellent mouth feel Aroma: Nice funk, agave, slight vanilla, oak, whiskey notes Palate: True to the aroma, agave still there, that funk that I like, whiskey,not much heat at all, oak is barely detectable, I was worried that an añejo would be stronger on the wood flavour Finish: Short, some heat on first sip but subsides afterwards. Overall this is another excellent expression from El Tesoro. Easy to drink, well made. My top Añejo so far.”

Patrón Reposado

81 SCORE

“In the glass looks good, bit of “thickness” with some legs Aroma: Some light alcohol, light vanilla, some oak notes Taste: Great mouthfeel, didn’t expect it to be so full bodied. Some alcohol, enjoyable blend of oak, vanilla and sweetness. It’s light, I’m generally not a fan of sweet or especially vanilla in my drink, but this works. Finish: Medium length, easy finish It was pretty decent. I was surprised.”
