Patrón Reposado

68 SCORE

“Smooth and sweet, with notes of vanilla, honey, light oak, and a touch of caramel. It’s mellow and and I find it a bit too sweet or lacking boldness. Would I drink it again? Maybe. Not an exciting profile.”

Casa Dragones Sipping Tequila

68 SCORE

“Super light and understated tequila. Casa Dragones Sipping Tequila looks the part, but the flavor doesn’t quite live up to the hype - for my taste. While it’s smooth and clean, the notes of floral, citrus, and vanilla are so subtle that it ends up feeling a bit flat. If you’re looking for bold agave character or complexity, this one might leave you underwhelmed. It’s clear there’s a lot of care in the production process, but at this price point, the flavor should shine more. Would I drink it again? Maybe. ”

Patrón Silver

72 SCORE

“Soft agave and citrus with a light herbal note set a delicate stage. Mild sweetness and a peppery finish make it reliable for cocktails, though its subdued flavor may feel plain for sipping. Combines tahona and roller mill processes, creating a balanced but somewhat subdued flavor. ”

El Tesoro Blanco

90 SCORE

“This is tequila done right. El Tesoro Blanco is seriously impressive. It’s smooth and balanced, with elegant floral and stone-crushed agave notes that really shine. Personally, what sets it apart is the traditional distillation process. It’s distilled to proof, meaning no water is added after distillation, which keeps the flavors pure and true to the agave. The attention to detail really shows in every sip. And it’s additive - free. :)”

Tequila G4 Blanco

90 SCORE

“This tequila is super clean and mineral-rich and it’s got such a cool balance of flavors while staying true to traditional tequila-making. Plus, it’s certified additive-free, so you know it’s the real deal. It’s awesome with light tacos or some roasted veggies, but honestly, it’s just as good to sip on its own.”

Espolon Reposado

70 SCORE

“Soft notes of caramel and toasted oak make for an approachable aroma, but it feels a bit one-note. The smooth vanilla and mild spice are nice, but the sweetness dominates, leaving it unbalanced. The warm, woody finish fades too quickly, with a touch of harshness. It’s decent but could use more depth to truly shine in the reposado lineup.”

Casa Noble Crystal

84 SCORE

“It’s packed with bold flavors—bright citrus and a hint of pepper. With its triple distillation, it’s super smooth and clear— great for sipping neat. The warm, lingering finish is nice, though the spice might be a bit much for me. Overall, a good blanco.”

Don Julio Blanco

73 SCORE

“Fresh and zesty notes of agave, lime, and pepper introduce a vibrant experience, complemented by a crisp, citrus-forward taste. The quick and clean finish leaves a refreshing hint of citrus and spice, though it feels a bit one-dimensional. Steam-cooked agave with stainless steel distillation results in a clean flavor. Easy to mix for beginners; lacks punch and traditional complexity. Likely has some additives, which I do not prefer.”
