D Los Altos is a brand that has been around for a while and has been often mentioned in the better tequilas on a budget category. My first experience was with the añejo a couple of years ago and I had to agree with that assessment. The bottle is striking and the distillery (NOM 1529) makes some quality brands. While I'm shocked it's taken me this long to try the base tequila from this line, I'm glad that it's in front of me.
Price: $20-30/bottle
Aroma: A nice fresh agave aroma with hint of citrus and light pepper. Very crisp.
Initial Taste: A crisp agave flavor with hints of mint and pine. Nice balance of sweet and vegetal.
Body: The body is a bit thin, but the crisp agave flavors remain. The peppery notes come forward a bit more as well. Agave forward, but balanced.
Finish: The finish is relatively short, but it's nice and light. Very refreshing with just enough agave punch to make it worthwhile.
Is this a great tequila...probably not. Is it worth buying in the price range...yes. A nice, clean agave flavor all around and that hint of vegetal notes and pepper to round it all out. I like it. I'll happily drink it. And I'll recommend it to those who can find it.
