Aroma was light with slight citrus and floral notes. Taste was light as well, every smooth. It almost goes down easy but its lacking a lot. I'm glad I had the chance to try this but I would never buy a bottle for the price its just not worth it. ]]> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 05:13:06 -0400 1357-2169 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/joven/casa-dragones-tequila-joven.html Bought at specs just before thanksgiving. I wanted to splurge and get something nice for the holidays. The packaging is nice, simplistic and somewhat modern. I read that it is a blend of blanco and extra anejo and was excited to see what that would taste like. The aroma was super light and I could smell a bit of agave. Flavor was the same, very light with some agave and citrus and this kindof burnt sugar at the end. I even checked the bottle to see what the alcohol volume was, just seemed watered down. I spent over 250 dollars on this, and it left me disappointed overall. I could have bought about 6 bottles of tequila that I know I would like. Oh well, live and learn. Next time I will sample something before spending that much. Would not buy again. ]]> Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:16:15 -0500 1427-1849 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/joven-gold/agavales-tequila-gold-110-proof.html Agavales Gold * Tasted January 2011 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: light straw - slow tears Aroma: vegetal, asparagus with light agave and citrus Initial Taste: peppery agave Spirit Body: hot, agave with lemon and olive Finish / Aftertaste: heated finish, burnt orange and light mint aftertaste ]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 07:59:18 -0500 1044-1322 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/joven-gold/agavales-tequila-gold.html I am the bartender in a Mexican restaurant with a vast selection of quality tequilas and we now use Agavales as our house tequila for margaritas. Prior to this was Sauza gold and believe me, this is a HUGE step up. When I first saw the bottle I was certainly thrown off, but don't let it fool you. Luckily we don't have the plastic bottles, but the labels are quite cheap looking. For a 100% agave tequila the price is unbeatable. It is still considered a "gold" tequila, artificially colored and unaged. Its actually palatable by itself, the flavor is decent and considerably smooth, with a very short and hot finish. Throw this one back, don't spend too much time sipping it. Definitely suited for cheap margaritas for those who like to add sweet and sour, etc. Also available in a quite potent 110 proof variety. ]]> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:44:01 -0500 1044-1319 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/joven-gold/agavales-tequila-gold.html This is probably the best 'margarita' tequila I have come across. But then I'm one of those who doesn't see the reason in drowning a top shelf tequila in lime juice and triple sec. We drink a lot of margaritas and have used Cazadores, El Jimador, Hornitos, Muy Especial, Sauza, Jose Cuervo (yuk!), Don Julio, Cabrito and Milagro and we like Agavales the best. About the only bad thing about it is that it comes in a plastic bottle so I always feel a little dirty buying it. But for $20 for a 1.75l bottle of 100% agave tequila, the feeling goes away quickly. I highly recommend this tequila for those making margaritas or other mixed tequila drinks. ]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:50:05 -0500
