good silver,one of the best for price,i've used it fo aging in my own barrels, and it makes a graet anejo, good stuff
El Tesoro Platinum, begins with unsurpassed clarity and a very-long nose. It is difficult not to smell the green olive juice. The olives themselves have a sweeter smell that what I pick up in the tequila. The Blue Agave smell is next on the list followed by slight hints of citrus, black pepper, and finally juniper. All in all a very vegetal nose.
The initial taste is very intense and hits you quickly with a strong green olive and blue agave flavor, a light body and a very long finish that seems to linger for a while.
Great tasty sipping tequila. I take it straight but if that's too much try it on the rocks.
I drank this out of a medium size sniffer. The nose is loaded with strong notes of agave, hints of green olive and a distinct earthiness. The first sip offered a burst of agave with hints of a green grape like fruitiness. It's extremely smooth. A second sip brought more agave with hints of pine nuts and a trace of spicy cinnamon on the finish. A few more sips brought some hints of green olives, lots of agave and some peppery spiciness on a fairly long finish. For me this is a fairly complex tequila, that is very smooth and worthy of sipping.
Consistent with its origins in Arandas, Tesoro delivers aromas rich in earth and agave. A very mellow and slightly sweet entry leads to a very agreeable agave and mineral body. A slight bitterness develops and soon fades into a superbly clean finish offering pepper, spice and a trace of minerals. Pure and satisfying, this is clearly an exceptional blanco - top shelf.
THis is my favorite tequila for drinking straight. They bottle it at the prooof it's distilled at so it truly is close to 100% Agave...not much water is added...unlike many of the other 100% agave which are distilled at over 100 proof and cut with water down to 80...
For that reason it has a lot of pure agave flavor...Spicy, sweet and flavorful. Some of my friends think it is a bit too earthy because it has so much agave flavor, I have them cut it with water at about 3 parts tequila to 1 part high quality H2O... it takes a bit off the flavor, just like they are used to with the other 100% agaves that fget cut with a lot of water. It is a great sipping tequila..
