Tastes

When I started drinking tequila. I thought this was good. Through learning and tasting. This tequila is ok. Smells like a s’more and tastes like a graham cracker. Sweet Graham cracker Oak Barrel influence Dessert like Herbal I would not buy a bottle again. And would look for another pour at a bar or someone’s house. Agave is lost. Liquor is thin. Good for a dessert for a newbie. Not a shelfer.

El Tesoro Blanco 84 Nose Agave Herbal Sweet Pepper Citrus Light sweet floral not pungent Palette Agave Nice light sweetness Vegetal Mineral Light citrus Well made. Very light, but very good. Not too oily but definitely refreshing and great for a warm patio night.

Herradura Seleccion Suprema Extra Añejo Tequila” 70 Nose Caramel Sweet Medicinal cherry Oak Vanilla Agave seems lost Opens up to a chocolate oak Where is the agave? 😢 Palette Caramel Vanilla Oak Light Agave The agave is overly muted by the aging. It sips nice but not really my thing. The pungent nose is not as pronounced on the palette. It doesn’t leave that oily residue we all love.

Tequila Ocho Plata” 88 Agave pushes strong and leaves a great finish in the palette. Cooked Agave Light smoked agave Pepper Vegetal Citrus Minerality Light oily body Finishes strong

Don Julio Blanco” “84” Good Flavor Cooked agave Vegetal Salt Mineral water Pepper toned down Alcohol but not astringent A little thin. Wish it was more oily because this stuff tastes great. Just want that finish to linger more. Don Julio is a solid line. Their prices are a little high but I’ll pay for the Anejo and the Repo. The blanco taste great but for the price tag the flavor needs to hang around longer.

90” “G4 Blanco Nose Agave forward on pour - Citrus Pepper Vegetal Light smoke Palette Agave Sweet and vegetal balance is awesome Herbal/ grassy Runoff Nice mouthfeel Oily but not “Fortaleza Oily” Nice pepper finish without the burn Delicious! Makes me want to come back for more

82” “G4 reposado Oak Vanilla Agave Pepper Barrel Vanilla Agave Oak Pepper Floral light caramel Great mouthfeel. Definitely a ton of barrel influence for being so light. Call me crazy, the agave is there but I feel not lingering enough. Finish packs some nice spice.
