El Padrino De Mi Tierra Blanco

Tequila Blanco — Jalisco, Mexico

Reviewed August 16, 2020
1.5
1.5 out of 5 stars
7: I liked the anejo, so I thought that this was likely to be quite good. Sadly, I really can't think of a situation in which I would want to buy this. It isn't very good and the price is just too high for it to work as a bargain bin mixer that gets drowned in a cocktail. N: To the extent that the nose has any character, it's bitter, a bit herbal, and a bit like rubber. This has less goin on than Partida Blanco does by a fair margin (in terms of presence, this:Partida::Partida:Fortaleza). It smells more than most vodkas do, but if a vodka smelled like this, I'd be concerned. There's really no complexity here. P: A bit sweet, a bit bitter, a bit rubber. It gets more bitter and rubbery as the palate goes on and it never develops any complexity. There is some stewed agave if I swish it a bit and there's maybe a faint hint of banana along with some lemon and lime, but there just isn't much here. I'm actively unhappy drinking this, though not super so. It definitely seems like a 10 at best though. Likely not worse than a 7. It just tastes fairly artificial and unpleasant and the nice sweetness and stewed agave subside as the palate progresses. F: Not much on the finish, but there is bitter rubber for a while with a hint of agave. Not impressed here. A little bit of the citrus stays, but not in any sort of good way. I'm going to have to go with a 7 based on the consistent lack of flavor and complexity combined with the alcohol and rubber. The miserable finish is what really knocked it down from an 8.
