As a secondary aroma, smells agave, but it has an unpleasant odor. It smells like cheap tequila. The aroma of the agave is very disguised with other scents. Also smell of alcohol it is present but not very dominant. And it has very mild fruity notes such as peach. I do not find the scent of oak, which is supposed to give resting process in the barrels of port. There is little body. One would think that by being rested it was going to have a full body but it is not. The color is NOT pink, it is more like a melon color. The initial flavor tastes like alcohol, the agave flavor is very much disguised with sweet flavors of roses and Jamaica. Not much astringency. Can be considered a smooth tequila. But the flavor is not convincing me. In my personal opinion, this tequila is not to be drink alone or sipped. It tastes nasty and definitely confirms the initial flavor it has. It is a tequila to mix. It has no good balance. I would have liked the taste of agave more present and it is not. Definitely I give it a failing grade. I do not recommend this tequila to take it alone. Only recommend if you're mixing and still not sure of its flavor. I was disappointed. ]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:25:28 -0400 56-1913 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/patron-xo-cafe.html the presentation and cost are great but the taste is terrible. ]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 03:10:05 -0400 1159-1825 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/gran-centenario-rosangel-tequila.html I'm tasting this as I'm writing and I'm really mixed on this one. I might update this later as we make our way through the bottle. The more its sitting its opening up a bit. I bought it for my wife (valentines day, I'm so witty) who's been eyeballing the bottle for weeks. Nose- Its very interesting, the nose is saying slight agave, sweetness, lots of floral notes, a bit of oak, and port wine. Nothing that wasn't suspected from this bottle. Taste- Again, interesting. Theres a bit of cough syrup to it. Lots of pepper all the way down and through the finish with a slight alcohol burn. You get bits of all the notes from the nose but its not a exact replication. I haven't made up my mind as if this ones a sipper but I can see it being a good mixer. Presentation/Price- The bottle is very nice. It def. looks like a $40 dollar bottle. Art deco styling, rich rose color, and a darling lil painting of an angel on it. I cant say I would buy it again, maybe if it was 10-15 bucks cheaper. ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 20:31:36 -0500 86-1753 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/1921-tequila-cream.html We just got our first bottle from our recent trip to Mexico. It is far better than Bailey's. While we were tasting other tequilas, our host mixed half and half with another tequila licor (it was Licor de Vanilla) and it was delicious! We should have bought a few more bottles to bring home - at $19 a pop, it is well worth it! ]]> Mon, 06 Dec 2010 01:07:29 -0500 350-1459 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/la-pinta-pomegranate-infused-tequila.html Bought this for the wife, paid $40 at local liquor store. Bottle is attractive, frosted red, a bit plain, has a screw top. Sampled from a large shot glass 3/15/10. The color is ... red, has a odd nose that tells you this is more like a juice with some alcohol than a tequila. Everything I enjoy about agave/tequila is missing here. My wife likes it... go figure, but she doesn't enjoy what makes tequila great. If she'll have a drink with me and this is what it takes so be it. If you like pomegranate more than agave, this is for you. To be fair, I am having trouble rating this "tequila", it just isn't typical from any perspective. At least my wife likes it! ]]> Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:33:27 -0400 1159-1378 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/gran-centenario-rosangel-tequila.html Purchased 2/24/10, for $36, had 2 oz. at home from a 2 oz shot glass. I'll be honest here, I bought this based on the unique color, quite different to say the least. Has a very nice complex nose, but once sipped does not quite live up to what your nose was telling you. Has a floral, spice taste, medium smooth on the way down with a pepper finish thats hits the tongue/ roof of your mouth, on the way down that lingers for a minute. Heat, spice/pepper, florals never hits bottom, thats a good thing. Not oily and no tears but may pool a bit on the side of the glass. I prefer an anejo's complex body and longer legs, so take this for what its worth. If you like repo's you may want to consider this one. They say variety is the spice of life... ]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:22:16 -0500 1235-1357 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/tanteo-tequila-tropical-infusion.html Wow, this is an unique tequila. I meet so many women that want to love tequila, but also really like fruity flavors (not just women there are a lot of men that do the same). It is 100% agave tequila that is infused with natural flavors of mango, guanabana, and pineapple. It is not for tequila purists, but for those that want a balanced tequila that is agreeable for a large variety of palates - this is it. ]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:06:55 -0500 350-1173 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/la-pinta-pomegranate-infused-tequila.html I tried this as I have had the pomegranate Margaritas at Rosa Mexicana and I thought I could duplicate them. I was wrong, the flavor when consumed straight is a bit sweet for my taste but when I used it in the margarita I got no pomegranate flavor coming through. It was OK as a sipper but for my intended use it did not work ]]> Sat, 13 Jun 2009 14:40:15 -0400 86-999 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/1921-tequila-cream.html My wife and I finally got around to trying this over the holidays and now we can't get enough of it. I hadn't ever tried any other cream liqueurs, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it is fantastic. The hints of coffee, chocolate, butter, cinnamon with a backround of agave are a wonderful combination. Who cares if it may be fattening, it's worth it. ]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:54:24 -0500 1005-937 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/agave-loco-pepper-cured-tequila.html Tequila Loco Pepper Cured Reposado * Tasted 11-27-08 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: cloudy, light gold - thick body with slow tears Aroma: sweet peppers , earthy Initial Taste: sweet mild pepper and agave Spirit Body: spicy and sweet, mild to medium heat Finish / Aftertaste: warm mouthfeel, long pepper aftertaste A great combination of peppers with Tequila, the spicy sweet flavor works great in a cocktail or to spice up your favorite dish. ]]> Sun, 28 Dec 2008 00:01:19 -0500 86-936 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/1921-tequila-cream.html Tequila 1921 Cream * Tasted 10-24-08 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: light brown cream Aroma: cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and cream Initial Taste: sweet cream and agave, cinnamon 1921 Cream is one of those liqueurs you can bring to a party to please everyone, an excellent combination of flavors which works well straight, over ice, or in a cocktail. ]]> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:53:30 -0500 1005-917 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/agave-loco-pepper-cured-tequila.html Very cool tequila, the aroma is all jalapeno peppers and the first taste is an explosion of heat, but no alcohol burn...finish is all peppers...this stuff makes a great Bloody Mary. I use Major Peters "the Works" mix and it's awesome!! ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:33:50 -0500 465-875 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/milagro-tequila-limon.html This was not what I suspected, really light lime flavor. Really nice nose, very fresh lime, but the initial taste and the body were way too light for me, not much body at all. Not alot of tequila flavor either. It atsted kind of like a margarita that hgad too much lime and not enough tequila. ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 17:35:19 -0400 325-855 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/267-tequila-infusion-chili-pepper.html This was really cool with the peppers actually floating in the bottle. I am a real pepper lover so I was excited to try this. The aroma was a bit weak on pepper smell, but a good agave aroma. The product was amazing light and sweet. It was not heavy at all, very light on the palate. The peppers were dry with low flavor, not hot at all but it was missing a sweet pepper flavor. I nice diversion for the price. but I could use a bit more tequila and pepper flavor. I liked it but it was a bit less than what I expected. ]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:49:30 -0400 1005-831 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/agave-loco-pepper-cured-tequila.html This tequila is made for the pepper lover. I bought this bottle at Binny's Beverage in Lakeview in Chicago. It cost $29. The nose is sweet pepper and jalapeno...you can smell the agave in the background...their is no alcohol in the nose, it's all pepper. The first sip is an explosion of pepper, kinda like hitting the jalapeno on top of the nacho. The finish is no alcohol burn just pepper heat. I tried it in a Margarita and a Bloody Mary...it's adds just the right touch of spice, with a little heat on the back of ypour throat, not overpowering pepper flavor, a nice balance. Can't wait to try it in a Sangrita.... ]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:09:52 -0400 86-629 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/1921-tequila-cream.html Something different. Excellent after dinner drink. ]]> Thu, 29 May 2008 05:42:27 -0400 142-501 http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/liqueurs-flavored/the-margarita-king.html I'm not a fan of Margarita mixes or the standard restaurant margarita and was skeptical about a mix that had the Tequila already mixed in, but Giovanni definitely has something going here. He picked a great tequila for his product, uses natural juices, and I would say that his pop n pour Margarita beverage is better than all of those sugary triple-sec'd bar margaritas out there. King me! ]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:53:55 -0500
