Cabrito Tequila Blanco is a premium pour for its value. This 100-percent Agave Reposado is far superior to its highland neighbor and is the seventh-ranked brand in Mexico, as well as No. 1 in volume in the 100-percent Agave category for the country. Born in Mexico's prestigious Arandas, Jalisco tequila district, this quality drink makes its presence pleasantly known by its slightly sweet flavor revealing hints of caramel and camomile extending into a medium-length finish.

This is my first review, so bear with me.
I tried the Cabrito blanco at home out of my favorite tequila glass, a trumpet mouthed piece of stemware that holds about 1.5 oz.
This is my first Centinela (NOM 1140) product, and I've heard good things about them. I wasn't disappointed.
The aroma is somewhat intense and fruity, very appealing. A good nose is everything, IMO. The initial taste was quite smooth with some real agave punch, reminiscent of Chinaco. It is a little thin in the mouth, but not disappointingly so. If this tequila has a weak point, I would say it's the finish, which is short with a little pepper on it. The aftertaste is not unpleasant to me at all.
The bottle looks like it might contain cheap juice, but at $30 for a 1 liter bottle, this one is number one in my book for price to quality.
Tasted in and with everything and on it's own over several days, weeks...
Cabrito Blanco
Color: clear
Aroma: agave
Taste: light to medium on the tongue with the taste of agave, clay & slight licorice with a burn of a finish
If I need a blanco for cocktails this is the one as it is great tasting and you get twice as much for the price of a mid shelf blanco. Cabrito is my recession Tequila. Though when I receive my tax payer bail out I will spend it on my blanco favorites Chinaco, Siete Leguas, El Tesoro, Corralejo and Milagro. For presentation I am not a fan of the screwtop bottle or the sticker label.
