THis is my favorite tequila for drinking straight. They bottle it at the prooof it's distilled at so it truly is close to 100% Agave...not much water is added...unlike many of the other 100% agave which are distilled at over 100 proof and cut with water down to 80...

For that reason it has a lot of pure agave flavor...Spicy, sweet and flavorful. Some of my friends think it is a bit too earthy because it has so much agave flavor, I have them cut it with water at about 3 parts tequila to 1 part high quality H2O... it takes a bit off the flavor, just like they are used to with the other 100% agaves that fget cut with a lot of water. It is a great sipping tequila..

I purchased this about a month ago and I feel it is decent for sipping but there was way too much pepper flavor for my liking so I ended up using it as a mixer and that worked fine.It is not oily and has almost no burn on the finish.I suggest trying it if you find some. I am still on the lookout for a great sipping blanco in my area.Of late I have really noticed blancos having lots of variation in taste from batch to batch.Let me know if you feel the same.
Cheers.

Tasted out of a snifter. El Tesoro Platinum is one of the smoothest blancos I have ever tasted. This is one of my top three favorite blancos. I personally would never use this as a mixer. It's also one of the 'sweeter' blancos I have tasted.

Aroma: Hints of pine (I've not detected this in other tequilas) as well and citrus.
Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel, on tip of tongue its initial taste is a sweet citrus.
Body: Turns to very agave, with floral and fruity tones.
Finish: Of medium duration, with no bitterness with no alcohol burn.

El Tesoro Platinum has a flavor unlike any other unaged tequilas I have tried. The agave flavor is strong and earthy which I found quite tasty. And the smoothness on the Platinum is tops (no burn at all). Personally I would rather sip on the anejo or reposado but this is certainly one of the best white tequilas out there.

Tasted in a caballito on January 30, 2008 showing lasting legs down the glass turning to droplets.

El Tesoro Platinum

Color: clear
Aroma: pine
Taste: lime and slightly smokey, a smooth finish with very little burn.

A great blanco to use in cocktails.
