About this bottle

El Tequileño was founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo and today his grandson Jorge Antonio Salles is its Master Distiller. The blue weber agave used by the brand is sourced from Los Altos in Jalisco. For the blanco expression, only 71% agave is used with the remainder being piloncillo (an unrefined sugar) making this a mixto tequila. It rests for 14 days in American oak before bottling. No additives are used. (SRP $25-28)

ItsSteve 3.5

Neat. Crystal clear. Aroma is lime peel, some agave, pepper, herbs. Taste is mild agave, some sweetness, black pepper, significant earth/minerality. Finish has a little bite with a bitter herbal note Overall, not bad, but this is a mixto so the agave is significantly lighter. Best Mixto that I've had and beats most 100% agave tequilas using diffusers and additives. For the money, I would probably pick Altos as it is a little cheaper than even this mixto and is well made

Gator Epp 3.0

Aromas of lime, grapefruit, cooked agave, and tilled earth. Somewhat viscous mouthfeel. Palate shows more lime, grapefruit, and agave – plus black pepper, grass, and subtle cinnamon. Finish is fairly short. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat)

Nelsdog 3.8

While a mixto, you wouldnt really know it. Fairly sweet, agave comes through, and great for Margarita’s. A great value! Don’t be a snob!
