    “After my first pour; just wow. This has many layers and the tasting experience over 30-ish mins evolves like no other Anejo. So much going on with this one and perfectly balanced. This is a full bodied flavor bomb! On the palate, I get a wonderful punch of cinnamon, cooked agave, then some orange peel, toasted caramel, oak, apple, hint of pear and pepper. The finish is complex and elegant. First thing that came to mind on the finish was buttery vanilla/cinnamon French toast with a sweet agave kiss. Camino anejo is a banger and does not take a back seat to any of the leading premium anejo’s on the market. This is a spectacular sipper! ”

    “Little to no heat for a 104 proof blanco. Nose, palate, finish let you know this is a special pour. Sweet agave is the headliner. Incredible balance and the high brix sweet agave lingers on your palate nicely. Heavy tears on the glass. The General HP belongs amongst the best of the best premium blanco’s. Knocks Fortaleza still strength off the pedestal. Highly recommended!! ”

    “Very unique. On the palate an evolving complexity….raw agave, hint of smoke, earth and some vegetal flavor. Lot of layers here. Thick / oily in a good way. Tears on the glass let you know this is a special pour. Finish has great hang time and agave is the headliner. Every sip makes you think. Is a super enjoyable agave tsunami! Pure/clean/crisp ”

    “Nice palate and finish. Get some oak, vanilla and cooked agave. Simple, straightforward anejo and very clean. Is terrific in a margarita (with no sugar) and an orange squeeze. ”

    “CASK Strength 44.4% ABV. | Once you give this some time to rest, the flavor bomb with many evolving layers dance on your palate. Viscous / silky mouthfeel. Toasted caramel, sweet cooked agave, rich oak. Finish is spectacular with a pleasant hang time that brings out baking spices, fruit and vanilla, with a smooth fade of roasted agave. A premium sipper that ranks with the best EA’s on the market. My goodness this is good! ”

    “The Ruby wine cask version drinks pretty hot, similar to the Apple Brandy cask. After letting sit for 45mins. Things did soften up a bit. Get some cooked agave and fruit on the palate then finished with a punch a pepper and some alcohol burn. Good, but not a rebuy for me. Better options available for the price this sells for. ”

    “This drank surprisingly hot for me. And I like HP blancos. Big burn across the palate and finish. Alcohol seemed to overtake the barrel aging notes. ”

    “Smooth sipper and barrel forward. Agave is behind the curtain. Caramel, oak with a hint of butterscotch. Suspicious of whether is additive free. ”

    “Alcohol forward, nail polish and tastes like medicine. Burn on the finish is unpleasant. Blah, not for me and maybe can be tolerated in a margarita. Hard pass. ”

    “Batch 017. On the palate SWEET agave and some earthiness with a high powered finish that is pure agave with an oily/buttery/creamy kiss. Smooth and a very unique balance that evolves over time. Crisp/clean/pure. This one is meant to be savored slowly. Needs a little time to open up / rest, then the agave love delights your palate. Is a dangerous sipper…just keep wanting more. One of my new favorite top shelf blanco’s. Just spectacular, this is an agave banger; highly recommend. ”

    “LOT 200b. | Palate and finish: Pure/clean/crisp SWEET agave with a creamy/buttery/oily delight and a slight vanilla kiss that lingers. Super smooth, all agave and just flat out fantastic! Saved opening this special lot 200b for National Tequila Day today and it is exceptional! One of the most pleasant blancos I have ever tasted. The bagazo agave fibers…sure adds to the flavor bomb. This is a luxurious tasting experience for sure. Is ridiculously good. Wish I had more than one bottle. Where can I find more?!?! ”

    “After you let your pour rest for 10-15mins, the SWEET agave on the palate is dominant and there to give you some love. Smooth, clean/crisp and has a nice agave hang time on the finish. ”

    “This under the radar tequila surprised me. On the palate, I get Agave, salted toffee and a hit of honey/ cinnamon on the palate. No funk. Very smooth finish lingers pleasantly. Value is good and taste is outstanding. ”
