Another celebrity tequila (Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top). I very much enjoyed the anejo and at the price point, I knew that I would buy the other two as well. Aroma: Agave, grassy notes, citrus fruit and a hint of mint. Initial Taste: Sweet agave with vegetal notes that are a bit like cooking spices (thyme). Body: Triple distillation gives it a bit of a thin mouth feel, but it still oily enough to impart a nice mix of flavors that include agave, pepper, spices and mint. Finish: A medium finish with just a hint of pepper. Very pleasant finish to a very nice all around blanco. This tequila wasn't too much like the aged ones. This one has a lot more earthy/grassy/minty flavor to it and it is done exceptionally well. It is smooth the whole way through and is complex with flavors that work well together. For the $30 range, this is a near must have blanco. The blue tear drop bottles with a heavy metal stopper are a nice touch as well. ]]> Tue, 03 Jul 2012 02:22:25 +0000 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2297 https://mail.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2297 Paid $28 for this bottle Nice pour out of the bottle. It comes from a great nom 1414. Triple distilled. Nose: hint of mint, light and crisp, and full of fragrant agave Taste: Roasted Agave. Great semi-oily mouthfeel. Spice. Finish: Heated roasted agave on the finish. Nice and warm A steal under $30, a good buy under $35, worth it under $39. ]]> Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:17:30 +0000
