I'm not normally a blanco aficionado, as I prefer reposados and the occasional anejo. But I have to say that this blanco is exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. It has a pleasant citrus aroma. The flavor is definitely sweet agave with hints of fruit. Light on the palate, with a wispy finish. While I think that aging enhances the flavor of tequila, this blanco is very drinkable and bound to appeal to most who appreciate fine tequila.

The tall thin bottle is particularly attractive and befitting a fine traditional product like this

Enthusiastically recommended.

Thanks to friend, I was able to try the entire line today. I'd seen them and read about them a bit, but never pulled the trigger on buying them.

Aroma: A huge nose of fruity agave and citrus. One of the best noses I've ever smelled in a blanco.
Initial Taste: Almost as good as the nose. It's a little thin, but there's a great combo of citrus and agave that work really well together.
Body: Fairly thin body. Only light pepper spice to go along with the fruity agave flavor. A really clean sipper.
Finish: The least impressive part of the tequila because it lacked that agave punch at the end, but the main flavors continue. It's unfortunate that the finish didn't last longer.

A really impressive blanco. The only complaints that I could make is that it's a bit thin and lacks the spicy kick. I's buy this and serve it to anyone. It's delicious and sure to please just about everyone that drinks it.
