This Platinum is different than the Silver used to be. The Platinum is more refined and less in your face than the silver used to be. I am a huge fan of the old Silver and while this is different the quality level is similar in a different style. Less Agave on the nose and palate but still a wonderful Tequila. To top it all off the price tag makes this an incredible value. It delivers more for $10-$15 less than the competition.

El Tesoro de Don Felipe Platinum Tequila, NOM 1139. Crystal clear in color with very high, uniform legs. The first nose was deep earth with generous agave scents. A second nose revealed a smoky pine aroma. The initial taste was spicy with some bitterness. The body is light to medium light with the flavor of sweet root vegetables. I found the finish to be somewhat flat but with a nice openness. El Tesoro is quite smooth, absolutely no burn, but with a warm alcohol sensation throughout. I got a generous deal so I overrated the $. Top shelf. A-/A

El Tesoro Silver ? NOM 1139 ? Tasted 3/2/07. The tequila is clear color and has intense floral, fruit, and earth aromas. Once you get past the intense nose, you can smell mild notes of spice and smoke. On the tip of the tongue the tequila is mellow and soft while having a light intensity of taste and feels thin in the mouth. The tequila has a hint of bitterness and has a low amount of sweetness. Now onto flavor. The flavor has intense to moderate agave, earth, and floral attributes which are followed by mild spice, fruit, and smoke. The tequilas finish is a medium duration of flavor followed by a slight numbing alcohol feeling. Overall, I rated this tequila at the ?B+? level.
