This tequila is wonderfully complex. Every sip that you take is a little bit different. There's a lot of flavors included, but this is well crafted enough that they compliment each other and you get to enjoy each flavor on different parts of your palate.

Aroma: Light Agave, Mild Fruit, Light Caramel and Nutty aroma.
Initial Taste: Mild agave and oak. Ripe Berry fruit as well.
Body: Medium Body and oily. It coats the mouth well and you get different flavors in every part. Earthy agave here, Praline flavors, a touch of citrus and light spice.
Finish: It's not a spicy kick at the end, but it's got enough spice that lingers around for a while to be extremely pleasant and it allows you to digest the rest of the flavors that still include a nutty profile and just enough oak.

This is a really well crafted tequila...period. All the great qualities that a reposado should have. The nice balance between agave and oak flavors along with a plethora of other flavors. Well done Puro Verde!

his is an unusual tequila in several different ways. First and foremost, it is a blend. Not a blend of different tequilas, but a blend of the same tequila rested in two different types of barrels. Well, actually, the barrels themselves are probably the same, but they are used to age two different products: grand cru sauternes and cognac. When the tequila has been aged for the proper length of time, the mixing experts get to work and combine product from the two different barrels - to reach the taste they are looking for. The result, according to my palate, is fairly spectacular. This rep is aged for nine months - that's a fairly long time for a rep. The barrel influence is evident but tricky to detect because the two are mixed together. Also, the color is a very light gold which is surprising considering how long it has reposed. In a tasting glass, there are thin legs and slight pearling.
On the nose, there is a mild sweet odor with plenty of agave. Dare I say the nose is "sexy" with floral overtones and earthy undercurrents. The flavor is more complex than the nose - with spices, citrus, caramel and some wood. The alcohol burn is minimal and slacks off to almost nothing in subsequent sips - or if you prefer you can call it the finish or pedigree. If you drink a challenge tasting of 3 ounces - you will find virtually no alcohol by the final sips. It is super smooth. On the first sip, the mouth feel is light with only a medium coat to the tongue, teeth and palate. Later, in the final stages, there is virtually no increase to the coating. Sip a little sangrita and it cuts through any lingering after taste. That's a good thing if you are hoping to do additional tastings.
This is a tequila to sit back and enjoy over a long evening of diversified small plates or simply - neat. Either way you should find it very satisfying. In the pocketbook, the price is reasonable - not excessive for such a high class spirit. The bottle presentation is not memorable, but understated. So, it is not trying to say, "Hey, look at me, I'm different from everybody else." Instead, it's reputation will come from word of mouth or simply trying it on your own. The stopper is pretty cool, however. You need to try this one, but don't be surprised if the bottle does not last long. Plus, considering this is a co-operative effort between Carlos Camarena and another spirit-industry executive - you might expect this tequila to only be around for a few years at most. Everything is a evolution - move on to the next.

Aroma: A great agave/caramel/vanilla nose.
Initial taste: Pleasant agave and caramel. Not as sweet as the nose might suggest.
Body: A great, dark color and thick body. Some spice notes and plenty of wood and pepper come through in the body as well.
Finish: A nice heated and spicy finish to compliment the anejo sweetness. Maybe a bit more alcohol burn than I want from an anejo.

For $26 (or even the $30-35 range), this is a good value anejo that should please a wide variety of people. The bottle looks nice and is a really nice heavy quality.

4/1/2015 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: The nose really fills up the glass with notes of cooked agave, caramel and light fruit.

Initial Taste: A really nice combo of cooked agave sweetness and caramel. There's a fruitiness that rounds it out as well.

Body: A nice and oily body that coats the palate well. It's a great combination of rich agave, butterscotch, oak, fruit and spice. A lot of flavors, but very well balanced.

Finish: A long finish that lets you taste all of the flavors at different points and has a nice punch of agave to boot. It's almost like a sequence of all of the aforementioned flavors that dare you to find each one. A unique and wonderful ending.

Suerte absolutely nails it with this one. There's plenty of agave, but there's also a ton of character from the barrel aging. There's a little something for everyone and the finish is one of the best that I've had in recent memory.

Don Pilar Anejo is full of excellent flavors, well balanced, and enjoyable all the way through. An excellent Anejo for under $40, highly recommended!

There's a special place in my tequila loving heart for German Gonzalez. His Chinaco product (along with Don Julio 1942) forever changed what I thought tequila could taste like. The richness, complexity and full agave flavor while being utterly easy to drink made it a really special pour. So you can bet that I was excited when he came out with the T1 one line.

Aroma: Agave, ripe fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and spice. Very rich.

Initial Taste: Fruity agave with just a hint of vanilla sweetness and dark chocolate. Nice balance without being too sweet.

Body: A medium body, but a ton of flavor...almost too many to list: Agave, fruit, dark chocolate, coffee, spice... Complex, but well balanced.

Finish: A long and smoky finish with a nice spice kick and lots of bitter notes from the wood (dark chocolate and coffee).

This is really wonderful sipper. Lots of flavor, complexity and is oh so easy to drink. A really great pour for just about any occasion. Highly recommended...even with the fairly premium price.

Aroma: A very nice and well balance nose. Agave, vanilla, spice and ripe fruit (apple & banana)

Initial Taste: A nice balance of agave and vanilla. Tasty, but not too sweet.

Body: A nice oily body that sits on the tongue like velvet. Agave and oak combine to make an array of flavors. This isn’t vegetal at all. Just a nice combo of sweetness, spice, pepper and wood.

Finish: Nice pepper flavors along with the brown spices work with the oak and vanilla to make a medium length, but delicious linger.

Simply put, I dig this one a lot. It's got good balance and a lot of flavor. The green agave aspect isn't huge in this, if that's your preferred profile. However, if you like a good balance of agave, spice, light sweetness and a medium oak note, this will be in your wheel house. And the big bonus of this one is that it's in the mid-$30 range. This bottle is a definite buy if you see it one the shelf. Well done Blue Nectar!

A great anejo tequila. Fast legs and medium color. Sweet agave taste, extra smooth and very little alcohol burn. Cool bottle and presentation as well.

Appearance: medium straw - slow tears

Aroma: sweet agave, light oak with black pepper, raspberry and chocolate

Initial Taste: sweet agave

Spirit Body: grass and agave, light lemon and oak

Finish / Aftertaste: sweet berry and agave finish with chocolate - nut aftertaste

Peligroso is a great brand all around, well balanced with great aromas and flavors.I'd recommend this one to tequila experts or novices just trying to learn what a good tequila is. A real crowd pleaser that I will make sure I have a bottle in stock.

Aroma: Musty agave. Light vanilla.

Initial Taste: Buttery agave entry with hints of vanilla.

Body: Medium-oily mouth feel. Spice notes (cinnamon) come forward to compliment the vanilla and agave.

Finish: A fairly pleasant sizzle on the finish from cinnamon and pepper. Light sweetness lingers as well. A pleasant, but not notable finish.

This is a farily tasty reposado, but there’s nothing special about it. If you like light vanilla and some baking spice notes to go along with a light agave flavor, this is a good option for you. In the $30 price range, this is a solid buy in a cool bottle. It won't change your life, but you should enjoy every ounce of what Karma Reposado has to offer.

12/17/2014 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: A raw agave nose with hints of citrus and vegetal notes.

Initial Taste: The earthy agave notes are present right off the bat. The vegetal sweetness is there as well.

Body: A nice mouthfeel with an oily body. The agave/peppery notes combine with the earth to make for a really potent flavor.

Finish: A long finish with a nice mix of earthy agave and pepper linger. Just the hints of vegetal and sours notes hang around as well to make it interesting.

For the money, this is a great buy. Big and bold flavors with a real vegetal and earthy agave presence. With the Rudo & Tecnico lines, they created a little something for everyone. Rudo for the earth/gritty/peppery tequila fans and Tecnico will satisfy those looking for a sweet after dinner sipper. What it tells me is that the people behind this brand know how to craft a tequila from start to finish. If you see the NOM 1467 on the label, you can expect good things...just make sure that you do your research ahead of time. Salud!

Aroma: This one is all about the agave. You like agave forward blancos, you will love the nose on this one.

Initial Taste: A pleasant cooked agave sweetness with a light hint of earthiness.

Body: A semi-oily body that conveys the in your face agave flavors nicely. The earth is still in the background and the peppery spice begins to pick up.

Finish: A very nice medium-long finish that still says AGAVE (with the capital letters). There's a hint of bitterness from the earth notes, but it rounds it out nicely.

If you are someone who likes a blanco that is not overly sweet and you crave an up front agave flavor, this is a tequila that you will really enjoy. The earth and floral notes are faint, but compliment the sweetness of the agave and spiciness of the pepper very well. Tequila Ocho is nicely put together brand. The owners and creators are passionate tequila people and should be commended for taking a "vintage" driven risk. This is a brand for sippers and tasters...probably not shooters and mixers.

After tasting the blanco and reposado, I didn't have the highest of expectations for this anejo, but it was an extremely pleasant surprise. It has a very complex flavor and some very unique tastes that make it an excellent tequila.

Aroma: Agave, spice and fruit (mostly citrus, but a bit sweeter)

Initial Taste: A nice agave entry with the fruits coming through nicely (lemon and cherry). It almost tastes like agave mixed with cherry jolly rancher. Sweet, but with a little tart added. Very unique and impressive.

Body: A nice thick anejo body that allows all of the flavors to coat your tongue. Spices and wood are added into the mix...also a bit of what tastes like dark chocolate.

Finish: A nice smooth finish. No burn at all and just a nice bit of spice to remind you that it was there. Fairly short in duration.

The bottle itself doesn't scream out to you that a good juice is inside, but give it a try and I'm sure that you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is first class tequila.

11/5/2014 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: The nose is one of the best I've ever smelled. It almost fills the room with a rich agave, spice and butterscotch smell. (Think Don Julio 1942)
Initial Taste: Vanilla and baking spices. A very nice entry.
Body: Really dark and thick body. Coats the glass and your mouth well. Flavors of Agave, spice and butterscotch are the most present with hints of flowers and fruit. Really complex and wonderful.
Finish: Very smooth. No burn at all on the finish and the flavors stay with you nicely. The fruit comes out a little more on the finish along with a bit more oak.

Really a wonderful tequila. Well crafted, great nose, complex flavors, very drinkable. I can't think of a valid critique of this tequila. It's certainly worth the price because it's overall taste is as good or better than most out there in the ultra-premium price range. If you can find it, go out and get this one.

Aroma - Sweet with grassy & nutty undertones and a bit of alcohol.
Initial Taste - Earth, not at all bitter with a little bit of agave-like sweetness, but different than tequila.

Overall a very enjoyable drink for the price point of $25. The bottle is simple yet very cool as well.

This tequila alternates between bad and good. I'm not quite sure what to do with it.

Aroma: There's only faint agave, a good amount of citrus and something chemically smelling that I can't quite put my finger on.
Initial Taste: Pleasant sweet agave and citrus. Very light tasting initially.
Body: Thin body. Agave is taken over by the oak and spice with a hint of alcohol.
Finish: Smokey finish of medium length with a little alcohol burn.

It's a great looking bottle, but at the price point ($45-50) there's a lot more out there. It would probably be great for a premium mixer and it's fine as a sipper. It's just not a great value when compared to its peers.

10/23/2014 - Tequila Man wrote:

The nose has a little bit of caramel and oak, but as with the blanco, I get some sourness. Initial taste is more caramel and oak - fairly sweet. The sourness fades, but it's still a little tart. Body is light-to-medium..ish, but no coating or oiliness to speak of. The finish is smoother than the blanco, but rather muted - caramel and raw agave stick around.

The reposado was more enjoyable than the blanco with the caramel flavor, but still not a contender in the premium market. Frankly, it is over-priced and really doesn't belong in the premium price group. I purchased the flight of stacked 375ml bottles, which is clever. I have also seen the individual 750ml bottles in the store - attractive, but not anything special or unique. Note that in the stacked set, the bottom two are the aged products, and the spout is very short and difficult to pour from, and they have a very small natural cork.

Aroma: A complex mixture of cooked agave, oak, spice and a hint of anise. Very interesting.

Initial Taste: A nice mix of agave and brown spices. Only a light sweetness, but it works very well.

Body: A light color and a light body for an anejo that has been aged for 18 months. There are some nice upfront flavors and lots of subtle ones that add a nice complexity without overwhelming the agave (cinnamon, nutmeg, oak, vanilla)

Finish: The finish is a bit short for an anejo, but the spice mix along with the agave kick is very nice.

If you do any research about this brand, you know for sure that there is passion and craftsmanship behind the brand. Tres Agaves is aged in Woodford Reserve barrels and crafted at the very good NOM 1109 (Arette) distillery...nice choices. If you are looking for a dessert anejo, this is not the one you want. If you are looking for an anejo that has the essence of a really well crafted repo, this is a good one and is priced right to boot. The agave is still very present and the ancillary flavors are there, but compliment the agave instead of overwhelming it. Tres Agaves is a really nice anejo. Add the fact that it is around $35 and you have yourself a winner.

Aroma: Citrus and agave up front-and-center.
Initial taste: Sweet on entry and very balanced with the lightly oiled mouthfeel.
Body: One of the most agave-forward reposados I've ever experienced (and in a good way!).
Finish: Medium-to-long duration with a spicy finish.

The best part is that this tequila will never let you forget you're drinking an agave spirit. Beautifully balanced and delectable. Not the most complex reposado, but maybe the purest.

9/12/2014 - Tequila Man Does not like this wine:

Every other review is pretty much spot on. I like Milagro Silver as a mixer. It's fine at $20 a bottle to keep around to use in a pinch, but not as a sipper to be savored. Something in this kind of packaging screams craftsmanship and class. Unfortunately, the juice inside doesn't live up to the packaging. It tastes pretty much the same as the regular Milagro Silver, but maybe filtered one more time to take even more taste out. It reminds me of Patron Silver. Smooth, OK taste, but not worth a premium price. There's so many other good blancos on the market for less money. Go get the Milagro SBR Reposado if you want the bottle because at least that one houses a good tequila inside.

9/12/2014 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: subtle sweet agave, clean and fruity with a hint of peach
Initial Taste: sweet citrus and earthy
Spirit Body: light agave with mild oak and grape
Finish / Aftertaste: warm, light mint finish, and long grass aftertaste

This is an EXCELLENT Tequila. There's no "added stuff in Tres Generaciones..." What I taste is distilled agave which is fantastic in itself and the longer it's aged the more mature the flavor based on the type of wood barrels used.

8/1/2014 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: Lots of the vegetal agave notes that are signature from NOM 1139. Really light barrel sweetness (vanilla) and a hint of oak and smoke as well. The agave is still by far the most present aroma.

Initial Taste:Great balance of agave, oak and spice. The light sweetness tastes all natural, not contrived or created by additives.

Body: The oak advances to the forefront a bit more along with a peppery agave kick. The balance with the sweetness is great and the natural/green flavor is still very present.

Finish: A very long, spicy and pepper-filled finish. There's a hint of bitterness from the oak, but the vegetal pepper is what lingers on the palate the longest.

This is a wonderfully balanced repo at a non-premium price. A full liter for under $35 is great value for a juice of this caliber. This is not a "sweet" reposado. The agave notes are the most present with just a kiss from the barrel. Very balance, spicy and delicious.

8/1/2014 - Tequila Man wrote:

Aroma - Sweet agave and butterscotch with an evident alcohol, but not as much as you might think for a 110 proof tequila.

Initial taste - Agave sweetness some floral and citrus notes.

Body - A pronounced, but pleasant alcohol burn...again not as much as you might expect with a 55% alcohol spirit. Compliments the sweetness of the caramel and agave really well.

Finish - Awesome long finish that lingers around pleasantly.

The bottle makes you suspect that it might just be a gimmick and at $50+ a bottle, you are certainly paying some for it. However, KAH reposado is a really good tequila that can certainly be sipped and enjoyed well. A fun an original drink for aficionados and collectors.

8/1/2014 - Tequila Man Likes this wine:

Aroma: A fairly faint nose on this one. The green agave from the blanco is balanced nicely with the 8-11 month barrel aging.

Initial Taste: A light sweetness from the cooked agave and it still maintains its green/natural profile. The oak from the aging is there lightly and presents as a light smoke. Complex and inviting.

Body: Medium thin body and a fairly light color. It has great balance between the agave and oak. One might say that the agave is simply "kissed" by the wood and in no way overtakes the agave essence.

Finish: A nice finish on this with the agave, oak, light pepper and vegetal and citrus notes. It has everything that you want from a good repo. A great balance and complex flavors.

The profile is more on the vegetal side so if you are looking for something with big vanilla, this is probably not the one for you. However, if you are looking for something with great balance and complexity, El Tesoro delivers...and it does it with a pretty good value at around $40 a bottle. I'd pretty much recommend this to anyone who would listen who likes a well crafted and natural tasting tequila.

Aroma: A pleasant nose of agave and light honey/vanilla.

Initial Taste: A really nice and interesting sweetness. There's a good agave flavor mixed with a vanilla bean essence. Very interesting and tasty.

Body: A fairly thin body that lacks the complexity that I might expect. The mix of the initial taste is there, but the body is a bit thin and the oak and spice aren't there as much as I might expect.

Finish: The wood becomes more prominent in this medium length linger with some spice and anise. It's a medium-short finish that goes down very easily...almost too much so.

Fortaleza is just a flat out quality brand. One thing that makes me like it so much is that is generally has a unique profile and produces flavors that you don't often find balanced as well in other juices.

Aroma: Honestly, it wasn't great. Too much alcohol on the nose...especially for an anejo. You could still get the DJ trademark sweetness and oak, but it wasn't awesome.

Initial Taste: A pleasant sweetness that isn't quite as good as the the regular anejo. The most prominent flavor is probably vanilla.

Body: The charred oak comes through and there's a toasted nut flavor and a bit of ripe fruit.

Finish: A light and smooth finish that has a bit of toasted nuts and dark chocolate. Not really much of a hint of agave spice or pepper (which I should expect given that it's aged 18 months, but my eyes still tell me blanco)

All in all, it's a good tequila, but I prefer the reposado and anejo more.
I will say this...I think that this is a tequila that you will notice something different every time you drink it.

I love the Chinaco bottles as they look classy and work well for the brand. Having a higher price than the other two makes this less of a buy for me than the blanco and the reposado. While this is very good, I'd tell someone to buy the repo first.

I had high expectations for this blanco and it didn't disappoint. You can definitely tell some of the notes from this that creep into the aged expressions. For around $30, this is a wonderful tequila value. The bottle is unique as well and looks great on the bar. And all around good tequila buy.
