Huizache Tequila Silver

If you've noticed a theme about my reviews, you definitely note that I have a soft spot for the budget brands that are 100% agave. Finding something that tastes good for $60+ is easy. Digging up the bargain gems is much tougher. So I see that Huizache is under $20 and of course I'm going to jump on the chance to give it a shot. NOM 1437 is a solid distillery as well, which makes it even more tempting.

Price: $15-20/bottle
Aroma: REALLY earthy agave nose. Cement and floral notes.
Initial Taste: Earthy agave with compliments of mint.
Body: Tastes like it’s been rested with hints of vanilla and spice along with the cooked agave, earth and white pepper.
Finish: A medium length finish with agave, white pepper and floral notes.

This blanco is unlike most others out there. Lots of different flavors throughout the drink and a nice challenge to try and taste them all. It may be a tad earthy for some...but for those that like the earthier blancos, this is an absolute steal for under $20. It's not my favorite tequila, but you definitely can't go wrong with a juice that has this kind of character for the price.

I was given this from a friend who had visited Mexico and picked this up - not sure what the price was.

Fairly astringent nose with a little bit of citrus. Entry was sweet and citrusy, and fairly earthy agave presence.

Finish was not great for me, but not terrible either - kind of the earthy agave flavor all the way through the finish.

Not one of my favorite silver's, but definitely not bad either.
