Don Fulano 20 Aniversario Sherry Cask Añejo

87 SCORE

“Aroma: ethanol, which i really didn’t expect. Baked agave, dried red cherry, vanilla, grass, sandalwood Palate: Baked agave, black pepper, light notes of brown sugar and vanilla, dessert wine Finish: Harsh, maybe it’s the 44.4%, but still harsher than a lot of still strengths. Verdict: for a 20th anniversary, i expected something a little more refined, still has some harsh edges, but very complex”

Montezuma White Tequila

28 SCORE

“Nose: ETHANOL BURN, and weird rock candy sweetness Palate: ETHANOL BURN, and a weird glycerin viscousity. Maybe the slightest hint of agave, but even that is pushing it Finish: Enough to make a grown man cry, just cheap hot alcohol Verdict: This tequila was made with the intent of slinging margaritas in a college dive bar”

Cimarron Blanco

83 SCORE

“Nose: Agave, peach, sort of a lactic funk Palate: Cooked agave, green bell pepper, lemon/lime Finish: Short and hot. Flavor hangs out for a little bit, but that ethanol catches up quick Verdict: If you’re making tequila cocktails for guests who don’t care about tequila, than Cimmaron is a must on your bar cart. It’s additive free and great quality; it makes for a hell of a margarita; value is pretty unbeatable, and in a pinch, I wouldn’t be upset at sipping it neat.”

Cascahuín Tahona Blanco

90 SCORE

“Nose: Agave, wet stone, white flowers, black pepper, leafy greens, lime Palate: Cooked Agave, pepper, earth, stone, brine Finish: Long, pleasant, and complex. That agave and brines note lingers for a while, and it’s not hot for a second Verdict. Badass Tequila. Clean agave flavor, very mineral driven. Would be interested to taste their regular blanco alongside this Tahona blanco to see really how much of a difference it makes.”
