Partida Blanco Tequila

Rating: 12/23 This is a pretty bland Blanco, which is disappointing and frankly not acceptable at its price. It's totally adequate as a sipper and there's a little bit going on, but it really isn't very interesting. There's a bit of prickly spice to it, but it's spared from alcohol flavor and harshness. The nose is light, but there's more to it than El Padrino Blanco. The nose is really vegetal with squash and a hint of herbal as well as a fair amount of mineral. It smells mild, but not like alcohol. There's definitely a bit of stewed agave flavor, but it's not super toasty and roasted. The palate is light and full of mineral. There's a slight numbing character too it and prickly spiciness. There's a bit of vegetal note with some odd wet bread flavor like San Matias Legado Blanco and Gran Centenario Reposado have. There's a fair amount going on here, but I can't say I love it. There's a fair bit of spiciness and some minerality. It's quite light. I like it better than El Padrino Blanco, but it's not all that great. It's fine, I guess. I'm thinking 12ish.

Smooth light verging on floral

Interesting flavor, over priced
