Perhaps I got a bad batch, but none the less here is my review:

Nose: not very memorable but not off putting either. Agave is somewhat noticeable.
Initial Taste: Hits you with spice right away, it is a nice clean taste. This is the best part of the experience.
Body: At this point it goes down hill. Mine was almost unrecognizable as a blanco and had next to no agave flavor, perhaps a causality of the triple distillation process. It then gets almost bitter with a fairly strong alcohol burn.
Finish: Like most other reviewers, I would state this does not have a lingering finish and the alcohol burn dissipates quickly. The price is decent for what you get ($29) and the colored cork is a plus.

All in all this was the first triple distilled blanco I found to be almost unrecognizable as a tequila. While I would try this again, just to be certain my batch was not bad, I would highly recommend triple distilled marks like Arta and Corzo for a blanco in that category.

So looking at the reviews here it looks like I might be in the minority. I found this to be a good blanco but not exceptional. Some times I find that the more times they distill the product it strips out some of the character and I found that the body of this didn't have a tonne of character.
The nose was really quite pleasant agave(as you would expect considering the distilation and the being a blanco) but not really anything else.
The initial taste was again pleasant but not overwhelming, citrus with a lot of lime and a touch of tar. The finish was clean, but a little too clean, really not much body to it at all. I know that is what you look for in a blanco but it just seemed to leave me unsatisfied. There was a fairly long linger alcohol linger.
There just seemed to be an overall lack of character in this bottle for me. The presentation was quite nice again not my favorite but a bit of a unique closure and the "hammered" glass is nice.

I was not impressed at all with this tequila. As far as I'm concerned tequila is supposed to have flavor and this had none. It wasn't the slightest bit aggressive at any stage of the tasting process and the initial taste and body were almost exactly the same which was a totally watered down spirit with the slightest hints of flavor that might have been there before the third distillation. yes it was super smooth but mainly because there is nothing there. It's like drinking water or vodka for that matter. They distilled the flavor right out of it. I'm actually shocked it has such a high rating here.
