El Relingo Tequila Blanco

Anyone who reads my reviews knows that I love to find good tequilas under $20. I found this one for $19 and read a lot of positive reviews. I'm hoping that it's as good as I hope it's going to be.

Aroma: Grassy agave & mint. Light spice as well.
Initial Taste: Lightly sweet agave with a hint of white pepper.
Body: Fairly thin body, but a lot of nice notes. Agave is still the main flavor. Notes of grass and earth too.
Finish: This is a pretty smooth ending. It's short, but there's no burn or bitterness. A nice peppery linger

This is pretty good blanco. It's not great, but it's 100% a steal at the price of $20. It's got some nice character and is easy to drink. For people looking for a nice value option, I'd definitely recommend El Relingo...and I'll definitely be trying the reposado soon.

Tasted out of a snifter at home. Paid $24 for a bottle. Clear in color, it's hard to beat the value of El Relingo blanco. IMHO, a great blanco for the price. I was taken a little by surprise. Yet, I'd recommend this one to blanco lovers any day. Go figure, huh? Aroma: A clear and present nose of floral and fruit, with a lighter scent of grass. Initial Taste: With a thin mouth feel, and a semi sweet entry, there's no bitterness. An initial taste of spices. Body: A nice agave body, with hints of earth, spices, and fruit. Finish: A semi heated finish of medium duration. With a sweet lingering of fruit.
