From TequilaGringo:  This tequila has guns on the bottle.  We like that, and firmly believe in everyone's right to bear tequila bottles with arms on them.  And darn if it doesn't have the best cap in the business, we just love giving it a simple spin between the thumb and middle finger and watching it unwind silky smooth style.  But that's just packaging at the end of the day.  What's inside is what counts, and Revolucion delivers.  The color is an exceptionally pale yellow, particularly for a repo that spent 10 months in the barrel.  The nose is a vegetal, somewhat earthy agave. The mouthfeel is on the thin side and soft.  The taste follows suit, with an earthy agave with maybe a touch of spice. Read more »

From TequilaGringo: The nose on this blanco was earthy/clove-y, slightly smokey.  Usually it's the lowland tequilas that have more earthy tones, so this surprised us a bit.  On taste, we found it to posses a true agave flavor, with perhaps a hint of cucumber (but oh so slight).  We found it to have a really full bodied, flavorful taste - particularly for a blanco.  Yet it's also a mild tequila, with low heat, and it's exceptionally smooth.  The mouthfeel was velvety.  8 stars.

From TequilaGringo: When Fernando Hernandez of Real de Mexico sent us his blanco and his repo, we were happy.  (It's fair to say we get happy with each and every bottle that comes in the mail, wouldn't you?)

Good start on a blanco.  Medium heat. OK.  The flavor?  You know, it was pretty simple, but in a good way.  Sometimes when there's little complexity but you get a good simple agave, that's what you want. The length of the finish was standard. Read more »
