Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila

Earthy, Herbal and Fruity: This tequila tastes and smells deeply earthy at first. It tastes like the agave plant and the ground it came from, its super deep and dark, I don't really enjoy it. On the second sip, that goes away, and all I can taste is the aftertaste I get from orange juice. I don't like the clash of those two flavors, at first I taste the earthy darkness, but then I get overtaken by that orange juice taste, very weird mix. This tequila is okay for the price, its got some unique stuff going on. In a margarita it tastes like I mixed orange juice in there because of that tates I was talking about earlier

It has a really strong herbal taste, then it gets spicy. The aftertaste is indeed fruity but you can still perceive the alcohol in it. It is not for beginners because it is in fact strong. It is not that smooth but it has good notes. A good value for its price.

Nose: salty burnt caramel, rockmelon, capsicum, lime, gamey meat. Very interesting developing nose. Palate: some punchy heat but still very smooth, peppery and vegetal, meaty, rounded out with agave sweetness, slight burnt toast finish.

My favourite reasonably priced tequila. Hard to beat at the price point
