Tasted in a Riedel glass.
This flavours that come through on this tequila are agave (much like the 1800 silver, but nicer) and pepper. Very clean tasting. An enjoyable blanco.

I picked up a bottle of Antigua Cruz Silver today. I bought it because I was curious to see such an inexpensive 100% blue agave tequila ($16 for 750ml.) I've had good luck with the value/quality of the Espolon product. The Antigua Cruz was a few dollars less and the presentation is very good for an inexpensive 100% blue agave. The appearance of the packaging (box and bottle) are very good, the tequila is decent, but not as good as I hoped. The taste as a bit of harshness to it, unlike other 100% agave tequilas that I've tasted. It seems to need to be distilled further. I'd put it on par with a good mixto tequila, and at the price it's sold for it's at about the same price, so it's a decent value.

Antigua Cruz Tequila Silver, NOM 1406. Crystal clear in color with high, almost oily appearing legs. This tequila has a light, agave nose with some traces of alcohol & a wonderfully sweet, almost cloying, initial taste. In fact it's the sweetest blancos I've ever tasted. The nice agave balance is accompanied by samplings of cardamon, citrus, pepper, & a hint of ginger. These tastes & sweetness carry into this light medium body spirit, leaving as quickly as it came, ending in a rather disappointing finish. However it was a smooth & mellow experience, being some consolation for such an abrupt departure. If you can find this uncommon tequila, it is a good buy especially when Margarita's are top priority. B/B+
