Nuestras Raices Agave Spirit Review
The palate is delicious and adventurous, racing from sweet to tart to vegetal to minty to petrichor and back … all in the first few seconds of sip No. 1.

Wild Common Añejo Tequila Review: A Bold 94-Proof Sipper
I’ve visited this distillery, and trust me, it’s OLD old school. On a tour there, our guide pulled out a diagram of its process that was hand-sketched on an 8 x 11 piece of paper. No video. No fancy equipment with computerized monitors. Just a drawing.
Tequila Ocho Old Fitzgerald Barrel Aged Anjeo Review
High notes of lemon cream candy, butterscotch, hibiscus, agave nectar, oak and baking spice combine for an incredibly balanced pour whose finish is bright, tingly, clean and short.
Trulussó Tequila Review: A celebrity-backed tequila worth the pour?
While all three are solid tequilas, the price-to-value equation doesn’t work out compared to so many other excellent bottles available for much less. The gorgeous packaging and the premium, celebrity-backed market positioning surely pushes prices northward.
Alma del Jaguar Nocturna Tequila Review: A High-Proof Blanco Experience
Despite its 101 proof–a feistier number in tequila than in bourbon–it drinks nicely, and is quite supple, allowing more extended sipping. Have some dried spicy mango around to enjoy with this. Mexican desserts would be a plus.
Alto Canto Blanco, Reposado and Still Strength Tequila Review
When I first tasted all three, I thought they were “tight,” i.e. needing some head space in the bottle and time to loosen up a bit. After many weeks and revisits, they did round off nicely, so I set out to review all three.
El Negocio Joven Tequila Review
On the nose comes a load of roasted agave, agave nectar, minerality, fresh herb bouquet, white pepper and butterscotch. If too closely nosed, it becomes shrill. So swirl vigorously and let breathe a bit to release those harsher notes–or just pull back from it some.
Suavecito Anejo Tequila Review
Suavecito was created for tequila-curious drinkers who want spirits that are “smooth” and without “the burn.”
Fortaleza 2024 Winter Blend Tequila Review
It’s incredibly rich on the palate, coating, deeply honeyed and full of golden raisins. The second sip is slightly mineral with a dash of white pepper and miles dulces, the “sweet honeys” dripping from the agave when roasting.
Cascahuin Plata 48 Tequila Review
Cascahuin 48 dazzles with mango and pineapple commingled with peppermint, spearmint and lemon. Beneath the rich, coating mouthfeel is a palate left practically humming.
