“Supremo and it shows. Nose: Loads of fresh agave, with a little blend of white pepper, fresh fruit, and anise(?) Taste: A big punch of cooked agave, with a pleasant mouthfeel (coats your mouth). Followed up by notes of pepper, alcohol, citrus, and a little bit of salt/mineral Finish: Definitely a crisp finish, with some alcohol heat, meshing with Cooked agave and bits of lemon(?)/citrus.”

Teremana Tequila Blanco

47 SCORE

“Nose: very alcohol/ethanol forward, lots of pepper that drowns out some cooked agave and vanilla. Taste: like the nose. Hot alcohol, that eventually breaks for an okay amount black pepper, agave and sweet citrus. Finish: Black pepper and alcohol. Just a sloppy made tequila - definitely has all the telltale signs of additives”

Elevación1250 Tequila Blanco

91 SCORE

“Nose: little alcohol forward that pleasantly gives way to cooked agave, lemongrass, pear, and some under ripened citrus. Taste: Cooked agave is prominent, notes of black pepper (and a little salt). Big surprise is refreshing notes of ripened Pear. Drinking this reminds me of the mouthfeel of eating a fresh pear. Finish: mixed notes of citrus/pear, gives way to a slight warmth on the tongue.”

Siempre Exclusivo Edición Especial Vivo

97 SCORE

“Probably my favourite tequila. Nose: Cooked Agave, Earthy Mineral Notes, mint, a dash of smoke, and even some raw agave mixed in with a little bit of alcohol. Taste: Sweet cooked Agave leads initially, before giving way to a refreshing blend of ripe citrus, and guava(?). Finish: it lingers pleasantly- giving it a sort of ‘live’ taste. A very environmentally fresh vegetation taste - like your standing in the middle of an agave field eating a fresh piece of citrus fruit.”
