Neat. Brassy golden in color. Nose is very sweet. Deep caramel, vanilla, roasted agave, and oak, some light baking spices, cinnamon, allspice. Taste is true to nose. Richly flavored with caramelized agave, vanilla, smoky oak, allspice, black pepper. Finish is sweet caramel with some spicy pepper and cinnamon for balance Overall, a tequila, on the sweeter side, that a novice would enjoy, while a veteran could appreciate. Drinks more like an añejo than a reposado63.0 USD per Bottle

Taste is pleasant, sweet ,fruity agave, pepper, light caramel, sweet cinnamon, slight nuttiness, orange zest, oak, leather, cardamom, and vanilla Finishes fairly dry, with sweetness, oak tannins, black pepper, and cadamom65.0 USD per Bottle -
Neat. Crystal clear, coats the glass nicely, long legs. Aroma is heavy cooked sweet agave, some savory vegetal, ripe tropical fruits and flowers, bright citrus, and minerals. Taste is sweet cooked agave, a unique and noticeable floral flavor with some tropical fruit countered with some black pepper and cinnamon spice, and a touch of anise The finish is all about the floral/anise combination. Reigniting as you bring in more air over your tongue. More on the dry/bitter side vs sweet. A unique blanco experience with the floral/anise notes, which could be polarizing. Complex and delicious. Gin fans will appreciate the botanical flavors. I'll pick up another bottle of this vintage next time I'm shopping61.0 USD per Bottle

La Gritona Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Jalisco , Mexico
Reviewed July 9, 2022 (edited October 26, 2023)Neat. Very nearly clear. slight straw, not really noticeable unless next to a clear liquid. Aroma has some cooked agave, vegetal, black pepper, minerals, slight vanilla and oak if you're looking for it. Taste starts with slightly sweet agave, warming black pepper, vegetal, slight oak/vanilla/cinnamon and a touch of citrus. Finishes dry with that warm black pepper, some sweetness and faint vanilla/oak Overall, a slightly wooded and delicate reposado. Maybe the reposado for blanco lovers. Sipping duty only. The flavors would get overwhelmed in about any mixer and there are cheaper options. Give it some air time before tasting, the wood notes and more delicate flavors get a little overwhelmed with ethanol on a fresh bottle/pour. It got a lot better with rest. Cool bottle, of course. A little pricey, but worth trying if you're a sipper45.0 USD per Bottle -
Neat. Deep copper/brassy color. Nose is sweet molasses with fruit, overripe stone fruits of peach, nectarine, mango along with ripe banana. Moderately light hogo and oak notes as well. Taste is sweet molasses, banana and fruit, baking spices, some vanilla and oak, the phenolic hogo flavors come later to balance it out. Finish is moderate, sweet and tart with caramel, vanilla, and phenols and light oak tannin Great intro into Jamaican rums with it being fairly approachable. Great mixing rum to add a little complexity without overwhelming22.0 USD per Bottle

Neat. Clear, golden straw color. Aroma of agave, butterscotch, vanilla with some oak, green herbs, pineapple, and earth. Taste is nicely balanced and true to nose. Agave, light butterscotch, vanilla, slight milk chocolate, balanced by some dry oak, cinnamon, pepper and herbs. The butterscotch and vanilla run into the long finish more than other tequilas, but also dries out with those oak tannins along with some cinnamon bark and light pepper Unique with its evolution of flavors. When I taste butterscotch, I'm expecting a cloyingly sweet drink, but this actually only starts moderately sweet, but then finishes pretty dry A little pricey, but this is an honest, quality tequila that justifies it70.0 USD per Bottle

Tres Generaciones Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed June 20, 2022Neat. Clear, straw color. Aroma is alcohol, some oak, vanilla, black pepper, slightly herbal, raw agave, minerals. Taste is a bit harsh, dominated by black pepper, alcohol, slight raw agave, pear, vanilla, oak, caramel, baking spices. Finish is simple, dry, bitter, black pepper, some saccharine sweetness, very slight vanilla/caramel. Not a sipping tequila, unless you like overwhelming black pepper. Too expensive for mixing. There are better options for half the price44.5 USD per Bottle -
Tequila Tapatio Añejo
Tequila Añejo — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed June 4, 2022 (edited July 28, 2024)Neat. Beautiful golden straw color. Nose is sweet agave, dusty oak, minerals, light honey, pear, vanilla, herbs, black pepper. Taste is natural, sweet agave, honey, oak, vanilla, herbs, cinnamon, black pepper. Finishes a little buttery, with some slight sweetness, oak tannins, vanilla, cinnamon and pepper Love this light, natural tasting anejo, that still showcases a lot of agave Very similar to El Tesoro anejo, which is one of my favorites (same distillery, slightly different methods). Not quite as good, maybe 95%, but significantly cheaper around me, since they nearly doubled the price recently..so a nice regular day sub. Can be hard to find, so I snag a bottle when i see it53.0 USD per Bottle -
Neat. Crystal clear color. Aroma of clean alcohol, hint of mint/menthol, whisper of banana peel if you look for it. Taste starts with some white sugar and light molasses sweetness. Slight citrus, grass, and wood notes. Dry finish with vanilla sweetness Sippable, but best for mixing. Step up from other bigger brands to add a little complexity to simple drinks. Good price for the quality (My cost is shown for 1.75l)30.0 USD per Bottle
