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.
Members only Tequila Reviews Annual Fortaleza Winter Blend Showcases Challenges of Cask Finishing The result in Winter Blend 2023 is the still-strength blanco is nearly outgunned by all the varied wood influences. Francavilla has made a blend that’s undeniably Fortaleza, but in the glass, there’s a lot going on that keeps it from becoming a unified whole.
Tequila Reviews Expresiones Del Corazon William Larue Weller Añejo Tequila Review Over the past couple of years, I’ve tasted multiple iterations of Sazerac-barrel-rested Corazon tequilas, and with each, the influence of those barrels has increased. At first blush, I like that. I mean, why make a reposado or añejo unless you want to taste the oak influence?

Tequila Reviews Alacrán Tequila Blanco Review and Tasting Notes I am not a tequila drinker. I’ve penned a tequila review before and it bordered on fairly useless. I’m a whiskey reviewer. That’s my jam. However, my wife, Michelle (a/k/a Mrs. Whiskeyfellow), is a tequila sommelier.
Tequila Reviews Ilegal Mezcal Añejo Review I’m going to be really transparent here and state that I have never been a tequila fan. I’d tried several tequilas over the years, but found them all to have a bite to them I didn’t care for, including some I was told were fairly high end.
