Casamigos Blanco Tequila

Nose: Faintly minty and "green" - light vegetal, sappy notes. Not a lot more. Palate: Light minty arrival. Some soft mineral notes and a little background fruitiness. The overwhelming impression of the palate is of very high grade ethanol and it's somewhat watery in texture. Finish: Short. Faint citrus and mint. Rather sweet i the aftertaste but ethanol is the main memory. This is a well made, clean tequila but the nose is somewhat nondescript and the palate very simplistic. The aromas and flavours peel back like onion layers - but it's only a few layers deep before you hit the ethanol core. It tasted to me like a well made vodka with an infusion of green vegetal aromas and flavours - like the addition of some water in which Brussels sprouts had been simmered for 30 minutes. It's simple and unfussy but rather engineered. In comparison to the whole spectrum of tequila it's on the good side of average, but I didn't think it was interesting enough to describe as above average. "Average" : 78/100 (2.75 stars)

Flavorful, but I’m not sure straight tequila is my thing.

Fucking. Great.

It’s a different Tequila, more on the herbal than the sweet side like most good tequilas.
