The nose was weak, no agave, slight chemical smell. The taste turned slightly sweet, but more chemical, with a touch of citrus rind. The body was the best part for me, being oily and chewy with a great mouth feel. The finish was short, unremarkable, with some vegetal elements lingering. This was not bad a tequila or a bad experience, but it was nothing special. There are others I'd rather have for the premium price that this sells for. A nice bottle, unique shape. ]]> Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:03:02 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2507 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2507 Crotalo is a fairly new kid on the block, but has created quite a following with a number of awards. I've had the Extra Anejo and the Reposado...and was looking forward to trying the base of the entire line. Aroma: A great nose of sweet agave, light pepper and a hint of vanilla and citrus. Initial Taste: Sweet agave entry (maybe with hint of vanilla) with nice notes of spice and pepper. Body: A wonderful semi-oily medium body that compliments all of the flavors well. It's got great blanco flavors foremost, but nice light complimentary spice notes. It's a little different with every sip. Finish: A very smooth finish with just a slight alcohol heat. Great spicy ending with a nice true agave flavor. Crotalo really did this one right and it shows with their entire line. It's got a premium price, but sometimes it's worth it to pay for something really good. This rivals the very best blancos that I've had. Well done Crotalo! ]]> Thu, 07 Jun 2012 03:01:43 +0000
