Tequila Tapatio Blanco

Nose: cinnamon, green, sweet, honey Palate: Sharp, pine, green Finish: drying, vegetal

A complex, Agave Spirit by distillery La Altena NOM 1139 in Mexico that has an aromatic birth with notes of agave, fruits, herbs & spices; while a tropical life adds notes of lemon, that led to a long & hot death with notes of black pepper & chili powder. May 2017

Don’t overlook this budget-friendly tequila: it’s delicious sipped or mixed

Cult favorite, but also a tequila traditionally made with no additives. Tasted neat. Clear but lightly cloudy, light coating legs in the glass. Nose is sweet vegital and mineral, lightly earthy. In the mouth, a ton of stone mineralality, salt, and earthy vegital/grassy flavors. Coating mouthfeel is soft, sweet, and pleasant. Lime, pepper, and a little bitter grassiness shows up in the finish. I can see why people like this, for mixing and even sipping. Lots of flavor, no off flavors or ethanol burn. It's balanced and well made.
