From TequilaGringo: Luna Sueno's blanco offering arrived and it was apparent immediately that these guys know how to make a tequila look really tantalizing.  It comes in a sleek (dare I say, beautiful?) black box.  The bottle is hand blown, which gives it a very authentic feel, and hearkens back to old Mexico, we like that.  We're suckers for that.  Perhaps the most unique quality of Luna Sueno is the quality (we can be witty with our plays on words yes?).  Most tequilas are distilled twice.  We've seen a few triple distilled.  This is the first cuadruple destilado we've come across.  Each distillation removes impurities - two is usually enough but to strive for a fourth is to strive for absolute purity.

From Tequila Gringo: Tres Manos has been on our hit list for a while and we finally got to try some at the Tequila Event at the Winehouse in West LA.  Triple distilled.  Triple filtered.  (Do you get much out of the extra distillation and filter - unclear, but presumably there are fewer contaminants, better purity.)  Barrel info is all on the bottle.  An extra anejo, but it doesn't say it on the label due to some strange ruling it was grandfathered into.  But let's get to the tequila itself.  Very sherry-like (especially on the nose).  The taste continued the sherry theme, but also was somewhat floral and had a delicious peppery finish.  Great stuff.  A 3 yr old tequila at 70 bucks is pretty good value as Read more »

TequilaGringo.com Review:

Agavero is a special liqueur, and a Tequilagringo favorite.  So naturally, we were thrilled when the bottle they sent for review arrived at our doorstep. Read more »

From Tequila Gringo:

We found the Dona Carlota repo to have a nice, light, and fragrant nose.  It smelled of spice to some degree, but we finally figured out that it was more like a potpurri!  It has a soft taste that was really floral.  VERY easy finish, and it maintained the taste throughout the finish.  This is a great starter tequila, and would be interesting in any tasting flight of anejos because it's so unique.
