Corralejo Silver Tequila

Smooth! Used in margaritas, delicious!

I've been trying to branch out a little in my spirits journey and thought I'd gravitate towards rum, but I believe I've decided to explore tequila. Tequila is something I previously considered just a shot or mixer, but think I might be selling it short. Let's try this one. NOSE: I sampled It neat in a glencairn and was rewarded with a great nose of Rich Buttery Vanilla Cream Icing with a Hint of Lemon and a Lightly Floral note. It seems Crisp and Refreshing and smells delicious. NEAT: The Mouthfeel is is Thin but Oily. The flavors are a bit of a letdown compared to the nose. Light Vanilla sweetness backed by Black Pepper spice. Not complicated, but it is very good. This is easy to sip. No burn initially, but you do get a nice accumulating warming effect in the chest. The Vanilla and Black Pepper linger and coat the palate. VERDICT: My preferred way to drink tequila is on the rocks with just a small splash of tonic, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of salt. This one should perform well in that capacity, or sipped plain on the rocks. I'm looking forward to trying the Reposado version of this which is very highly rated on the Distiller App.

Sipping neat. The nose is slight, crisp, clean. Light salty, fresh agave. Mouthfeel is medium light, Taste is moderately sweet with cane sugar and a little saccharine, some fresh agave fruitiness and slight black pepper. Not particularly complex, but it's clean, balanced, delicate, smooth, and honest.

Not bad for the price. Smooth, simple, not much to it. Good as a sipper, but not one to contemplate the meaning of life over.
