Silver-gray colour and moderate viscosity. Deep rich agave, herbal and mineral nose with little alcohol presence. Initially sweet strong agave - traces of spice and mint in a full and luscious body. Finishes with a mild bitterness, strong agave and a long minty aftertaste. Classy, refreshing and unpretentious, this is a very fine artesanal blanco.
I had an opportunity to compare side-by-side the Mexican product against its American export version. The Mexican blanco has deeper herbals in the nose - is sharper and slightly more acidic but a tastier presentation overall. The export product offers softer, milder characteristics. These differences could be attributed to different lots, but my clear preference is the Mexican.
