Don Julio Blanco Tequila

Solid. Medium body with a kick on the finish. A little earthy.

Best blanco tequila that I’ve ever had. Pricey for a blanco ($54 in MI), but a true sipping blanco is hard to find under this price. What you get for the extra money are richer, more balanced flavors and more intense aroma. Nose: a rush of intense vegetal and fruity agave with milder citrus & floral aromas Mouth-feel: Silky, viscous. Most other blancos are thin, compared to this one. Palate: Well-balanced, low-moderate to moderate sweetness, with rich flavors that match the aromas, at an intensity on par with many reposados. Finish: Medium-length, with the only flaw (for me, anyway) being a little sizzle of heat at the end.
