Hmm, I can say I wasnt that impressed with this bottle.

Aroma: peppery agave
Initial taste: mild alcohol burn
Body: Nice balanced agave flavor, earthy, peppery
Finish: short , mild alcohol burn. very short

A decent tequila, but not a favorite of mine at all. I probably wouldnt get another bottle.

What an excellent reposado! I was so impressed. TO me, the most important part of a reposado or anejo is not to lose the flavor of agave to the wood. I feel like the wood should compliment the agave, not the other way around. Fulano comes through with shining colors!
Aroma: Floral and Earth
Initial taste: spicy bitterness
Body: AGAVE, AGAVE, AGAVE, subtle hints of vanilla, spice, earth, and wood
Finish: Smooth as silk with medium duration

I hate to criticize anything that someone takes pride in making. But do you remember the saying 'Wheres the beef?' Well, this tequila reminded me of 'Wheres the agave?'

The initial taste was nothing but a mild alcohol sensation.

The body and initial taste were nothing more than a subtle hint of flat agave.

The finish: what finish.

Im just praying it was a bad bottle.

Beautifully packaged, but I think I was paying more for that than the tequila itself! In my humble opinion, a bit overpriced. But is it a great blanco? Id have to say yes, but it doesnt break into my top five.

Aroma: Nice hints floral and earth
Initial taste: Slightly bitter but very tasty
Body: intense flavors of agave and earth
Finish and duration: A bit of a short numbing finish for me.

Another example of remembering its more important whats on the inside. I thought Id give it a shot because the bottle was beautiful and the price was low. Sadly, I couldnt wait to get the bottle out of my house. Maybe their Reposado and Añejo are better.

Aroma: The aroma was mostly an alcohol smell

Initial taste: Mild, short alcohol burn

Body: very subtle agave precense

Finish and duration: Almost no finish.
