Aroma: Agave, grass and floral notes.
Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel, sweet with no bitterness.
Body: Great Agave flavor, complimented by citrus, floral, earth and spice.
Finish: A nice medium length finish with a pepper linger.

To me, this is what a blanco is all about. Agave forward with nice complimentray notes. Admittedly, I like aged tequilas better, but this is a good, solid blanco. I LOVE the anejo from this line and can taste the base tequila that made that spectacular anejo. Trago is a brand that tries to look ultra-hip, but doesn't really need to because they have a quality product inside the modern bottles.

Tasted on 08/12/08 out of double ball glass. Trago blanco was a very nice blanco. Im not the biggest fan of the 'modern' look of the bottle. A great sipper very reminiscent of El Tesoro, go figure.

Aroma: Smoke, fruit, and floral.
Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel, sweet with no bitterness.
Body: Nice bold agave, complimented by citrus, floral and spice.
Finish: A semi heated finish of medium duration.

WOW! I was planning on bashing this tequila just based upon bottle design. But wow, it just made my top 5 list. It reminds of Los Abuelos blanco, but with not quite as much peppermint.
The price is a little steep especially for an "El Tesoro" bottle with a shampoo cap stopper!

Clear with medium viscosity - some suspicious tiny blue-green platelets floating in suspension in the bottle. (A query about this to Trago's Las Vegas office remains unanswered.)

Nose is alcohol, grapefruit and very mild agave. Thin in the mouth, a semi-sweet entry quickly yields to an overreaching bitterness. Olive and herbals dominate the body, as a soft agave presence deepens. Finishes slowly but with little distinction; it just drifts off, leaving an alcohol buzz and a residual bitterness on the tongue.

If Trago aspires to be a part of the premium tequila scene, they have considerable work to do.
