Penacho Azteca

[Tequila Tourist]

Does anyone know anything about this brand? I'm considering buying some bottles and I can't find much out there.

Hi Time's has the line up in the 375's for $13-$17. Anybody tried it yet?

I did buy them from Hi Time and they're fine (The anejo and the XA). Not the worst, not my favorite. They're worth giving a shot for the price.

They come from Usmajac, a really small town in the South Region, not far from Ciudad Guzman. We were hosted by the Maestro Tequilero, Nacho Corona who graciously showed us the entire facility. Learned a lot that is never discussed during the regular tours.
The product line is very typical of the lowlands - deep grassy flavours and long earthy finishes. I felt, and told him, that the anejo and an extra anejo he offered were the weakest of his products. The blanco sparkled and the reposado exuded a quiet elegance.
Production is with modern autoclaves and shredders, so there is noting artenisal about Penacho Azteca. There was a notable consistency of flavour profile in all of their products.
