This is a solid line, and it starts with the blanco. It is very well balanced, which gets a good score in my book. Nothing is overdone or too strong in the nose. Mostly sweet cooked agave, with hints of vegetal and even floral, and a tinge of spice.
The taste is sweetness, but still the vegetal hint of the agave coming out. Body is light-to-medium, and there is no burn - not even really a tingling - in the mouth. In that respect, it would be a good starting sipper.
The finish has a quick pleasant burn that dissipates almost as quickly as it starts. It is very smooth, and has a nice aftertaste. Again, a well balanced tequila.
Handsome presentation in a thick, heavy, quality glass bottle. It has a plastic stopper (not a synthetic cork) which slides in and out very easily; it almost seems loose, but it's not. Price on this for me was ~$32, and a great value in that range. I would probably pay even more for it.
