Teremana Tequila Blanco

Awesome tequila!

Tastes vegetol like green peppers and herbaly and minerally.

Light herbal and spicy, slight floral aroma. Spicy, herbal, light green pepper flavor.

DTA: 1613 Bottle #: FC464D Although I abhor celebrity "founded" products and distilleries, after picking my choice of blanco during a recent trip, because my wife tagged along, it was only fair that she had her pick, so here we are. I have no opinion or information regarding Dwayne Johnson, so this is just a tequila to me. The nose is strongly vegetal, with a decent punch of salt, and more of an ethanol presence than I would have expected for only 80 proof. The agave present is very young, and smells as though it wasn't entirely cooked through enough. There is just a hint of sweet citrus, and I'm hoping that this is found more prominently on the taste. The first sip definitely kills any hope that this would have an ethanol kick. In fact, this tastes more like 60 proof than 80. Because of this, the body is very watery, with the intense vegetal flavors I thought I'd find broken and misplaced. There is still a sweet salty flavor that seems to be found in most celebrity tequilas (for some reason), but thankfully, the salt is much stronger. The finish is quite dry, which would be more welcome, if there were any iconic notes found before we got here. As expected, a celebrity spirit did not hit the mark. This has the flavors and makings of a cheap, plastic bottle tequila, simply served in a glass bottle with a celebrity's name attached, allowing them to get away with selling it for more than it's worth. It seems to have done it's sole job (to sell) to both my wife and another guy from my unit who recommended it (and also bought a case of it for a wedding), but I'm hoping that they were more interested in the flair than the taste. I guess if you have a bottle, maybe watch wrestling and make a drinking game out of it, because I'm not foreseeing many other great uses from this.

Herbal Earthy Sweet

Very inoffensive, and smooth, but definitely nothing to write home about
