https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2839 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2839 I was excited to try this as I had heard good things about it. The nose on it was overinfluenced by alcohol and acetone, so much so that I couldn't really detect much else that was trying so desperately to come through. I even let the bottle open up for a few days to make sure I was giving it a fair shake. There is a slight presence of cooked agave, but slight is it. The taste is not as strong in the chemical aspect compared to the nose, but it is still there. There is a sweetness to it, but the chemical aspects are ever present. The body is actually nice and has a medium weight with a bit of oiliness, which I happen to like. The body is probably one of the better aspects of this tequila. The finish is lacking, except that there is not much burn. Very quick heat, so pretty smooth in that regard, but the aftertaste still has a chemical taste with some bitterness. Luckily the finish is short, though. The price and presentation somewhat save the overall score on this tequila. If you can get this silver in the mid-20's, it's not a bad value for mixing. I really like the bottle and corks - nothing fancy, but still artistic. This will not be a repeat purchase for me as it is not suited for sipping IMO, but again would make a good mixer. ]]> Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:40:28 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2376 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2376 Aroma: Agave, citrus, earth and alcohol. Initial Taste: Agave and citrus with a slight burn. Body: Pepper notes are added along with the nice agave flavor and something like a lemon zest flavor makes it interesting. Finish: It's more heated than most and certainly more so than most rested tequila lovers might enjoy, but it goes along OK with the peppery finish to give a nice sizzle. Not for everyone, but I didn't mind. The bottle is striking and would look good on a bar. The contents are good, but not quite great. Perhaps it's too much alcohol smell/taste throughout. Certainly good enough to sip, but mellowed in a margarita might make this a top notch mixer because of the spicy and citrus notes. Purchased for $25 at Zee Tequila, it's definitely worth that price. ]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2012 03:49:16 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2306 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2306 Excellent Silver, great taste, no burn, definitely a Silver to keep at your home bar. $28.99 at Costco ]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:10:43 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2179 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=2179 I found this tequila to be one of the best sipping silvers. So smooth but yet rich with flavor and such a great finish. ]]> Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:12:18 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1977 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1977 In the Reidel glass Karma is clear and polished - very full-bodied with a silvery cast. Nose is promising - sweet agave, green herbs and mild alcohol. First sip is sweet agave with a noticeable alcohol overbalance. The herbal back-note from the aroma passes pleasantly into the body, but Karma fails to present any greater complexity. Finishes with a medium to strong alcohol flush and minty aftertaste. It is not particularly representative of Atotonilco - I find its characteristics are more typical of the lowland tequilas. Overall, and for the price, Karma is a respectable blanco. Packaging is unique and imaginative. As a sipper, it is simple and clean, although a little hot. As a mixer, it would be very, very good. ]]> Mon, 27 Jun 2011 01:18:43 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1537 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1537 Bought 4/15/10, paid $40 online, Karma NOM-1107. Presentation is very nice, tall clear bottle that flares from top to bottom. The cork top is adequate and has some clear stickers for additional info. Sampled from a 6 oz shot glass. Mostly agaves in the nose and a bit of alcohol whiff. I tried it neat and chilled, I preferred it neat. Left in the freezer, the body becomes very thick and takes away from how smooth it is at room temperature IMHO. Leaves fast legs and quickly settles to tears in the glass. Mouth feel is semi thick and swallows smooth with minimal heat, leaves a slight alcohol/agaves tinge on the tongue, minimal numbing, again very smooth. I don't buy many Blanco's but Karma is very good. Very smooth/clean in all respects and an attractive bottle. ]]> Tue, 18 May 2010 17:40:13 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1442 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1442 I stopped by Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco and Julio recommended that I try a new tequila Karma. We tasted it side by side with 7 Leguas Tequila Blanco, which I enjoy very much. I found Karma to hold it's own against 7 Leguas Tequila Blanco. I would highly recommend this new very enjoyable tequila, either straight up or in one of Julio legendary margaritas!! ]]> Sat, 27 Mar 2010 23:30:39 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1145 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1145 Karma Silver * Tasted Blind May 2009 * Riedel Tequila Glass Appearance: clear - thick body and slow tears Aroma: mild agave and pepper, subtle alcohol Initial Taste: very light, sweet agave Spirit Body: agave and cirtus Finish / Aftertaste: mild mouthfeel, medium length minty aftertaste ]]> Sun, 31 May 2009 15:39:09 +0000
