A medium bodied tequila with an oily mouth feel. like the repo of this brand much more than the blanco, not to mention the older bottles as well.
Aroma: peppery, smokey hints
Initial Taste: heated earthy agave
Body: A fuller earthy agave but not full enough
Finish: Heated finish with alcohol burn of short duration.
Definitely not a favorite of mine, in my humble opinion, it would be served better as a mixer.

Purchased bottle from Wine and Liquor depot 06/03/08. Tasted in snifter.
Zeveda blanco tequila definitely is a unique tequila. it is a smooth sipper but it does have a slight alcohol burn at the end. I dont love it, but I do like it alot.
Aroma: Very cool aroma! A clean fresh nose of mint and vanilla.
Initial taste: A thin mouth feel of spicy mint that turns into a subtle yet very present agave
Body: The agave presence intensifies at this point, with hints of floral and vanilla.
Finish:Very minty agave finish of medium to long duration with slight alcohol burn.
Presentation: As I've stated before, presentation doesn't mean much to me. However, this bottle is pretty dull. A better presentation could possibly convince someone to pick this bottle up!
Like I said, in my humble opinion, a very unique blanco. Does it break into my top 5 though? No. Would I buy another bottle? At $27 dollars a bottle? You bet I would!

Purchased a bottle on 06/02/08 from Wine and Liquor depot in Van Nuys, Calif.
3 Amigos is a very decent blanco. It has a unique taste and aroma to it, and I definitely will be getting another bottle after Im out! I think its a perfect blanco for new blanco and/or new tequila drinkers.
Aroma: I detected hints of butter and vanilla. Not something I usually detect.
Initial Taste: On the tip of the tongue, it begins buttery and turns to a minty agave.
Body: A very very balanced agave body.
Finish: No alcohol burn at all, with a very spicy finish of medium duration.

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.
