El Tesoro Blanco Tequila

El Tesoro blanco delivers a very pure and true agave expression. With tahona milling, and bagasso added to the fermentation, the roasted agave prominence is noted. On the nose we also distinguish some components of caramel and brine that resemble that of a roasted ham. We also noted hints of berries, pepper, and citrus. On the palate we distinguish that strong agave presence with compliments of fruits, caramel, brine, baking spices, and a dash of smoke on the finish.

Good flavor for a blanco…. Generally smooth finish

This is my go to blanco tequila neat. It works great in cocktails too but taking into account the price its probably best to look in another direction as a mixer. I will say though it makes a great margarita. The nose features strong earthy notes with olive brine and sea salt. The palate is where this shines with citrus, bell pepper and a smooth oily feel to it. The finish is pretty long with virtually no burn. If you are looking for a top shelf blanco tequila, this should be up there on your list. It's great neat or in cocktails. Highly recommended.
