El Agave blanco is a very nice tequila. Although, it doesnt break itnto my top 5, I would say it very well may be in my top 10. Id have to say a very nice sipper, no mixing, please!

Aroma: Very clear vanilla and citrus aroma.
Initial Taste: It has an oily mouth feel to it, with a creamy vanilla taste when put on tip of my tongue.
Body: Very intense agave followed by notes of pepper and spice.
FInish: A creamy finish of short to medium duration. No bitterness.

I give this blanco a solid B+. And for the price, you cant go wrong.

Im a blanco lover by nature, so for me to really like a reposado says something.
Los Abuelos reposado has a very unique taste to it, and its as smooth as silk.

Aroma: Intense earth, floral, spice and smoke. In that order!
Inital taste: Oily mouth feel, with a very slight bitterness.
Body: Very strong agave presence, complimented by peppery hints of cinnamon and wood.
Finish: No bitterness (unlike the inital taste), with a medium duration.

7 Leguas is one of my favorite blancos. In my humble opinion, it has alot of depth to it from the aroma to the finish. Truly a classic.

Aroma: I detected intense floral and earth with hints of mild smoke.
Initial taste:Intense earth and lots of agave
Body: followed by continued agave with slight floral and citrus
Finish: For me, a long duration with the agave and mild smoke taste fading out nicely.

Presentation has nothing to do with the taste, but 7 Leguas comes very nicely packaged.

Don Valente blanco is a nice blanco from start to finish. Sort of middle of the road. Not too aggressive, and not too subtle. I like this blanco very much.

Aroma: Hints of vanilla, earth, and spices.
Initial taste: subtle hints of agave and earth.
Body: from initial taste, leading to a fuller agave presence with peppery and creamy tones.
Finish: Finish is smooth, very mild alcohol sensation, and medium duration.

I was really looking forward to trying this Tequila.
Aroma: Very earthy, black peppery
Initial taste: Starts with a black peppery taste
Body: very intense, earth agave. could be one of the most earthy tequilas Ive tasted.
Finish and duration: A mild alcohol burn ending with a peppery finish of medium duration.

I did like this tequila alot, especially for its earthy taste. Even though I dont consider it one of my favorites, I would recommend it to a tequila fan with a very earthy preference. A very decent B grade tequila.
