And the record for longest time between reviews of a brand goes to...Don Abraham. My first was on the añejo - Review #10. Here we are on review #454 and I can't believe that I'm finally just trying the blanco now. It comes from NOM 1480 (Tequila Las Americas, S.A. De C.V.) that makes some other solid brands like Celestial and Puro Verde. Everything from there has had a unique profile. I'm looking forward to this one.
Price: $35-40/ bottle
Aroma: A rich cooked agave nose with a hint of earth and citrus.
Initial Taste: Very similar to the nose. Agave flavors are bold and bright.
Body: Medium to thick body with nice oils. Nice peppery notes and the earth come forward. A lot like the better tahona crushed blancos out there.
Finish: A linger that you would expect given the progression of the drink. A nice peppery agave punch and earth on the linger with just a hint of sweetness.
This blanco is about natural agave flavors and a great mouthfeel. Not overly sweet, not too green, not too earthy. Just a great balance and one that coats the mouth and stays with you. Too bad it took me this long to try it. Very nice stuff!
