Second best I've ever enjoyed --- only one that rivals it in my mind is Sin Rival. The entire Clase Azul line is nothing short of tequila perfection. ]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 23:46:28 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2903 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2903 Purchased a bottle of this platino nectar in Puerto Vallarta for around $65 USD. I call this blanco "nectar" because it is, in my experience, one of the sweeter blancos I have had the plreasure of tasting. Clase Azul Plata was made for sipping. On the nose you'll find tropical fruits & honey accompanied by a very subtle essence of pepper. This tequila is incredibly smooth and savory, I often jokingly refer to it as a "dessert tequila" in that it makes a perfect sweet treat after a meal or just a long day. Clase Azul Plata appears syrupy, exhibiting slow tears, but has a medium body. The bottle alone is also impressive to both tequila veterans and newcomers alike, though it is rather cumbersome. You may notice I gave the finish 100 because it was without a doubt one of the sweetest/smoothest finishes I have yet to come by in a quality blanco. Truly impressive and reasonably priced given it's overall bottle/content quality. :One word of warning: ...those who enjoy blancos for their intensity, purity and "afterburn" or just plain like shooting blancos will likely find this one lacking in fire/kick. Leave it for someone else if you don't intend to sip it. ]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 05:35:21 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2309 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2309 A great blanco cousin to one of my very favorite reposados. Aroma: Sweet agave and some vanilla and citrus fruit. Initial taste: Extremely sweet and almost fruity entry. Gives you exactly what your nose tells you it should. Body: Medium body. Agave taste continues throughout and complimentary flavors of fruit and light spice give it a nice overall flavor. Finish: A bit short and no alcohol burn. The bottle is great. Clase Azul has about as good of presentation that is out there. The price is high at around $70 a bottle, but the juice merits a premium price. Highly recommended. ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:21:34 +0000
