Tasted out of a snifter. El Tesoro Platinum is one of the smoothest blancos I have ever tasted. This is one of my top three favorite blancos. I personally would never use this as a mixer. It's also one of the 'sweeter' blancos I have tasted.

Aroma: Hints of pine (I've not detected this in other tequilas) as well and citrus.
Initial Taste: An oily mouth feel, on tip of tongue its initial taste is a sweet citrus.
Body: Turns to very agave, with floral and fruity tones.
Finish: Of medium duration, with no bitterness with no alcohol burn.

El Tesoro Platinum has a flavor unlike any other unaged tequilas I have tried. The agave flavor is strong and earthy which I found quite tasty. And the smoothness on the Platinum is tops (no burn at all). Personally I would rather sip on the anejo or reposado but this is certainly one of the best white tequilas out there.

This Platinum is different than the Silver used to be. The Platinum is more refined and less in your face than the silver used to be. I am a huge fan of the old Silver and while this is different the quality level is similar in a different style. Less Agave on the nose and palate but still a wonderful Tequila. To top it all off the price tag makes this an incredible value. It delivers more for $10-$15 less than the competition.

El Tesoro de Don Felipe Platinum Tequila, NOM 1139. Crystal clear in color with very high, uniform legs. The first nose was deep earth with generous agave scents. A second nose revealed a smoky pine aroma. The initial taste was spicy with some bitterness. The body is light to medium light with the flavor of sweet root vegetables. I found the finish to be somewhat flat but with a nice openness. El Tesoro is quite smooth, absolutely no burn, but with a warm alcohol sensation throughout. I got a generous deal so I overrated the $. Top shelf. A-/A
