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: The nose and taste both featured a vegetal agave.  Not our favorite, but we can appreciate it.  The taste followed with an herbal flavor as well. Oily mouthfeel. 6 stars.

From Adan y Eva: Adan y Eva Reposado, 100% Blue Agave is gently rested for over six months. Our special resting process delivers a richer, cleaner and deeper tequila flavor than other Reposados.

Here's their promo video - it's sort of a glorified slide show, but you can get some insight into their facilities from it. Read more »

 From TequilaGringo: One of the great things about tequila is that it's perfectly acceptable to get way out there with bottle designs.  There are modern ones. Read more »

From TequilaGringo: We sampled this tequila at the 2008 Expo Tequila in Tijuana.  It has a heavy, nay, remarkably ridiculously caramelly caramel taste to it.  It's aged 9 months in the barrel, so they must've added caramel flavoring to it.  It sorta tasted like they added caramel to Tres Mujeres Repo we think.  At any rate, it's actually candy like, and kinda good.  No purist would appreciate it but if you like it you oughtta drink it we say.  We didn't buy a bottle though ;-)  It's not available for sale in the US at this time.

From Tequila Gringo:   We were pretty sceptical of this just because the bottle looked like a marketing gimick (it is).  But we picked up one anyway as a gift for a friend because that marketing gimick works (it's awesome).  Two things happened.  One, the guy we gave it to absolutely LOVED it.  Two, it shocked the heck out of us when it turned out to be an ok tequila, we liken it to Cazadores Repo.  Pale yellow color and an agave smell.  Medium heat.  Agave notes.  WAY better than Cuervo.  Not on the best list, but who cares, it's a completely awesome gift.  Next time you're going to a party, taking a trip to Mexico, whatever - show up with a couple of these and you'll be talked about for the re 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.

From Tequila Gringo:

Light Spice and agave flavors with a medium-high heat are what you get on the taste.  The finish has a heavy alchohol to it, which means a lot of heat.  All in all, not bad, but not on the best list either.

Tequila Gringo:

We picked up a light taste of smoke.  Medium agave, medium heat, medium finish - really kind of medium everything.  Not our favorite at this price point, but a solid tequila that you won't mind having, particularly if you're used to cheaper stuff.

From Tequila Gringo:

Here's a unique blanco.  We've had mescals that tasted like this, but not blancos.  This one had a unique richness to it, and a very smokey taste with hints of pepper.  Usually you need more time in a barrel to pick up tastes like these.  If you like smokey tequilas, this is a blanco that'll surprise you and put a smile on your face.

From Tequila Gringo:

Nutty flavors, medium heat, clean and smooth. A unique blanco, we liked it a lot.

From BevMo
100% Blue Agave. Complex aromas of cream soda, spice, caramel and earthy agave. A long sweet finish.

From Tequila Gringo This one was a surprise. Smooth, nay, mild, and with very little heat. If you've got a newbie who's scared of that first sip, we recommend you give them this one. It tastes like tequila, but goes down remarkably easy. While it's not what we like, if you have to get someone started this is the best way to do it we've tasted. And when you consider the price, this thing's a winner. From BevMo Pale straw color with delicate fragrances of pine needle and green olive. These lead to more aromas of peppercorn, brine, and honey with a soft finish.

Tequila Gringo Review
Meh. The bottle design gave us high expectations, but alas they were not met. We tried this in a flight with 1921 Reserva Especial, Don Julio 1942 and Casa Noble Anejo - and it was very distant last. Tough compeition to be sure, and to be fair 2 of those other bottles do cost a lot more, but the drop off from those to Cazadores Repo is no where near as drastic by comparison.
