And here we are at the final tequila of the El Padrino trio I've set out to try ( Yes, I know they have a lot more than three. But I'm not really into flavored... anything really. Or "cristalino" tequilas. ) Inherently, as I am a fan of all things sweet in my liquor, Blancos are usually not my go to. But I shall remain open-minded and in a worst case scenario, I can always mix this bottle up into cocktails at gatherings. What was a sweet and salty aroma on the nose of the reposado and anejo, this blanco loses that sweet characteristic and kicks off with salty and briny sea water. A little spicy peppercorn and just the faintest trace of some sweet tangerine in there. Of course, all of these ride on the back of agave. Sort of a given in the world of blancos. A surprising and interestingly sweet palate. I actually was not expecting soft caramel to open up this taste. Plenty of agave in here but as the taste opens up, so too does the spice. Cinnamon and pepper prick and tingle the tongue. This tequila gives an odd powdery mouth feel between back of taste and finish. The finish remains spicy and dry. Agave, hay and pepper run the show and that's really sort of it. Not much to this finish but I didn't expect that of a blanco. You know what? I don't hate this. The palate has a very surprising sweetness that I don't often find in blancos. I think I might just keep this in my shelf rotation as its perfectly acceptable neat and I'm sure would make a great mixed drink.
