A good brand, but this one really doesn't do it for me. The other reviews are spot on.

Aroma: Earthy and the olive smell is there. I do not care for green olives. It really spoils the agave for me.
Initial taste: Agave is stronger here, but the green olive is still present.
Body: Nice body and a smooth drink.
Finish: A nice burn and it's smooth going down. The lingering flavor is OK.

El Tesoro is a great brand and a very nice bottle. This particular tequila just isn't my cup of tea. If you like earthy tequilas and green olives, this is a great one for you. The price is a good one for a tequila of this caliber.

I purchased this about a month ago and I feel it is decent for sipping but there was way too much pepper flavor for my liking so I ended up using it as a mixer and that worked fine.It is not oily and has almost no burn on the finish.I suggest trying it if you find some. I am still on the lookout for a great sipping blanco in my area.Of late I have really noticed blancos having lots of variation in taste from batch to batch.Let me know if you feel the same.
Cheers.

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.
