I'm probably one of the few that never had the terrible college experience with Mr. Cuervo, so I never had illness or regrettable stories to share because Jose paid me a visit. I come to sampling this strictly out of curiosity of what the world's best selling mixto tastes like.
Aroma: Sugar, citrus and strong alcohol nose.
Initial Taste: A really sweet medicinal taste. It's like cough syrup and simple syrup had a child.
Body: Sticky. Not at all crisp like a 100% agave spirit. It coat the mouth, but again feels like an agave/Robitussin mixto.
Finish: A sour and bitter aftertaste. No agave presence at all.
The Cuervo brand makes some good tequilas. This is not one of them. This is probably the most "candied" of all of the mixtos that I've tasted. I get why people try it...I have no idea why anyone would continue. It's too bad that people too often consider this the definition of tequila. It's pretty terrible.
