I'm not the #1 fan of Herradura, but I'm always willing to try something new. There's been plenty of brands that have surprised me over the years. Let's see... Aroma: A very interesting nose. Agave, earth and a bit of berries (raspberry/blackberry). It's almost like a cross between a tequila and a red wine. Initial Taste: Smooth agave entry with a hint of earth. Body: The earthy agave is complimented by the berry fruits to make for a very unique feel and taste on the tongue. Finish: Medium-short finish, but it has a very nice peppery bite to it. The fruit lingers around nicely as well with just a hint of earthy bitternes. I wish it lasted a bit longer. They did a really nice job with this blanco. In all honesty, my expectations were low and I was nicely surprised. I'll be sipping this one for sure, but I think it would make an outstanding mixer if you were so inclined. The presentation is blah, but the juice inside is very good. Well done Antiguo! ]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 02:40:37 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1824 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1824 This blanco is not quite there yet. Even though it is a well known tequila, the quality and taste is not good enough. Nice aroma some balance. Not to much body. A bit strong. Maybe it could be better if mixed but not so enjoyable out in a sniffer. ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:26:30 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1796 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1796 Tasted out of a snifter at home. This blanco was good, but not great. The best part to me was the aroma. THe rest of the tasting lacked depth. I did a tasting twice to make sure I was correct. Still, for $24 bux its a step above some $15 dollar blancos. Yet for $24 bux, it should be better than some $15 dollar blancos. Especially from this distillery. There is no bitterness throughout and the initial taste was sweet. But the finish was weak and it leaves me wanting a better blanco. ]]> Sat, 15 Jan 2011 01:30:01 +0000
