Tequila Reviews Tears of Llorona XA Tequila leaves lots to consider for $280 I started tasting this tequila after a five-meeting/Zoom calls one day, so my clean and dry palate was ready for tasting. Once I started on it, I stayed with it for a full hour, pouring sip after sip into a tulip glass. With each tongue lashing, I enjoyed it more.
Tequila Reviews Lagrimas 'La Sabina' Reposado Tequila Focuses on Terroir It's fantastic on the palate: coating, honeyed and tingling with a little serrano pepper. You can't miss the dried pineapple and mango or butterscotch that migrates from the nose to the palate. There are no flaws in this reposado.
Tequila Reviews Lagrimas 'La Sabina' Plata Tequila Might Leave You Lachrymose The nose is wide ranging and begins with roasted agave before moving to agua miel, then vinazes followed by freshly baked baguette and then off to tropical flowers and roasted green pepper. All of that rolls in atop a perpetual hum of petrichor mingled with peppermint.
Tequila Reviews Cambio Tequila Reposado Review I have to admit, I didn't immediately like this tequila, mostly because I thought it a little stingy on agave aroma and flavor. But sticking with this spirit over time taught me that this is as much about barrel choices as tequila production. This is an exceptional spirit.
Tequila Reviews Cambio Tequila Blanco Review The palate is even more exciting. It's simultaneously sweet and tart, coating yet refreshing. Imagine an adult version of Sprite that's alcoholic, tingly, lightly sweet but with the tang of tamarind–and you want to sip it neat all the time.
Tequila Reviews El Tesoro Anejo Tequila Mundial: Yamakazi Edition Review Trust me, heavy hitters are involved in this release. I've been to La Alteña and met both Camarena siblings, and they are amazing people making amazing tequilas. So let's talk about this one.
Tequila Reviews The Last Drop Release No. 40 Extra Añejo Tequila Review: Rarity Is Never Enough What made this brand believe that this liquid was special at all, much less so great that anyone slapped $2,300 price tag on it? Age and rarity? Both only go so far because often, overaged sprits become "rare: when someone figures out they should never go into a bottle on their own.
Tequila Reviews Fortaleza 2025 Winter Blend Review: Reposado Reveal On the nose is a battle between fruit and minerality, olfactory soldiers armed with aromatics derived from airborne yeast, cooked agave, tahona crushing and finishing in those ex-American whiskey, ex-PdC and ex-Madeira casks.
Tequila Reviews Nuestras Raices Agave Spirit Review The palate is delicious and adventurous, racing from sweet to tart to vegetal to minty to petrichor and back ... all in the first few seconds of sip No. 1.
Tequila Reviews Wild Common Añejo Tequila Review: A Bold 94-Proof Sipper I've visited this distillery, and trust me, it's OLD old school. On a tour there, our guide pulled out a diagram of its process that was hand-sketched on an 8 x 11 piece of paper. No video. No fancy equipment with computerized monitors. Just a drawing.
Tequila Reviews Tequila Ocho Old Fitzgerald Barrel Aged Anjeo Review High notes of lemon cream candy, butterscotch, hibiscus, agave nectar, oak and baking spice combine for an incredibly balanced pour whose finish is bright, tingly, clean and short.
Tequila Reviews Trulussó Tequila Review: A pricey and beautifully packaged tequila worth the pour? While all three are solid tequilas, the price-to-value equation doesn't work out compared to so many other excellent bottles available for much less. The gorgeous packaging and the premium, celebrity-backed market positioning surely pushes prices northward.
Tequila Reviews Alma del Jaguar Nocturna Tequila Review: A High-Proof Blanco Experience Despite its 101 proof–a feistier number in tequila than in bourbon–it drinks nicely, and is quite supple, allowing more extended sipping. Have some dried spicy mango around to enjoy with this. Mexican desserts would be a plus.
Tequila Reviews Alto Canto Blanco, Reposado and Still Strength Tequila Review When I first tasted all three, I thought they were "tight," i.e. needing some head space in the bottle and time to loosen up a bit. After many weeks and revisits, they did round off nicely, so I set out to review all three.
Tequila Reviews El Negocio Joven Tequila Review On the nose comes a load of roasted agave, agave nectar, minerality, fresh herb bouquet, white pepper and butterscotch. If too closely nosed, it becomes shrill. So swirl vigorously and let breathe a bit to release those harsher notes–or just pull back from it some.
Tequila Reviews Suavecito Anejo Tequila Review Suavecito was created for tequila-curious drinkers who want spirits that are "smooth" and without "the burn."
Tequila Reviews Fortaleza 2024 Winter Blend Tequila Review It's incredibly rich on the palate, coating, deeply honeyed and full of golden raisins. The second sip is slightly mineral with a dash of white pepper and miles dulces, the “sweet honeys” dripping from the agave when roasting.
Tequila Reviews Cascahuin Plata 48 Tequila Review Cascahuin 48 dazzles with mango and pineapple commingled with peppermint, spearmint and lemon. Beneath the rich, coating mouthfeel is a palate left practically humming.
Tequila Reviews Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila Review The body is light, but its mouthfeel is cozily coating. Soon, enough though, the spirit dries things up a bit with its keen minerality and herbal character.
Tequila Reviews El Negocio Tequila Blanco Review The nose–like anything from the flawless Cascahuin distillery–El Negocio Blanco brings deep minerality and floral character atop an undercurrent of horno-roasted agave, agua miel and golden raisins.
Tequila Reviews Entremanos Tequila Blanco Review The nose starts a little funky but intriguing, with warmed butter and mozzarella cheese drifting into herbal characters like spearmint and dried sage.
Tequila Reviews La Pulga Tequila Blanco Review The nose is rich with cooked agave and pleasant back notes of sour orange peel, tamarind, eucalyptus, wild honey, spring flowers and some minerality.
Tequila Reviews Storywood Anejo and Reposado Tequila Reviews Doubtless, some will like these gentle sippers, but they're too gentle for my preference. They lack the backbone a barrel can provide and the magical flavors great oxidization deliver to dazzle.
Tequila Reviews Espanita Double Barrel Reposado Tequila Review This is a nice tequila for the price and arguably the best liquid from Impulsora Rombo.
