El Tesoro Blanco Tequila

Fantastic.

Strong herbal notes

Enjoying neat. Nose is white sugar, herbs, agave, aloe, pear...very little ethanol heat Taste is complex, balanced, delicate. Starts vegetal with cooked agave, cane sugar, then black pepper, mint leaves/tarragon/cilantro, lime pith and leaves. Finish builds and is drying with some fading sugar leaving you with citrus peel. Mouthfeel is balanced, mineral overtones. I believe this is additive free and I don't taste any artificial or masking flavors. Very little alcohol heat. Overall it ticks all my wants as a highland grown, stone oven baked, tahona crushed, open fermented, copper pot distilled, spring water, additive free tequila. Honest, flavorful and all at a nice price point. Tasting with Siete Leguas, which has nearly the same region/process pedigree..and this is more delicate, smoother, and herbal, where the SL is richer and punchier..equally great

Sugar sweet bright vegetal agave and lime pith overwhelmed by bone dry mouthfeel. It’s kind of like an super amplified/exploded-view taste profile of Patron Silver, without the chalkiness. It has a decent profile but very dry. Not available in Ontario.

Very flavorful, and without the sickly sweet taste I usually associate with tequila. Great neat or over ice, and makes insane margaritas.

Herbal, grassy. Quite nice.
