Milagro Silver Tequila

Well I’m not a tequila connoisseur and I don’t pretend to be, but I don’t like Jose’ and can’t afford Patron. So one of the guys I have breakfast with suggested this Milagro and it’s really starting to grow on me. It’s smooth enough to sip neat, kind of a slick oily start yet it’s crisp and citrusy. The body is full of agave and yet I detect cucumber and earthy herbal highlights, really quite pleasant. You pick up a peppery finish but it’s smooth not hot or spicy. This silver isn’t harsh or astringent at all, I really enjoy the full agave flavor presented in this tequila. I haven’t ventured far into the land of tequila but I like this one and it’s affordable. So Mrs Old Dude is down in Florida visiting our youngest daughter and grandkids, it’s 97° here and time for a margarita. One of my Distiller buddies @BDanner suggested adding 1/2 oz Grand Marnier and I must admit it’s quite good. I think it’s time for another - Saludo!

I bought this tequila a little while ago and I am finally sitting down to review it. When I bought this I was looking for an inexpensive silver tequila to use for cocktails and this one is a great one for that job. It has a mildly earthy nose with a touch of ethanol. The body is light and a little fruity but very clean. The finish is short and smooth with no bitterness. The two drinks I used this for were the Margarita and the Ranch Water and it excelled with both of these. The Margarita was tart and clean while the Ranch Water is now my favorite hot weather drink and is delicious. This is an easy yes for the cost and the versatility. Enjoy.

A simple and fresh nose of green vegetables like lettuce and, as Stephanie points out, cucumber with a dash of salt. The body is thin and watery and delivers some green rawness (or is it fresh, as in unripened) and tropical fruits like pineapples; an ambrosia. Finishes short and minty. Add some ices and the sweetness is drawn out and that rawness is lessened. Much more palatable over ice. Not a bad tequila and much better than JC. Perfect to enhance a Margarita; well suited to "class" them up, yet the price may fool you into believing it's low quality.[$19][84/100][Opened: 5/20/16]

Sipping neat. Nose is sweet, tart, and savory. a lot of cooked agave and other vegetables, but is still pretty clean. Taste starts white sugar and saccharine sweet, then you get those herbal notes of tarragon, tobacco, and mint. The sweetness goes away at the end of the taste, but then comes back with the dry finish Overall, average smoothness.. there is a little bite. A very interesting drink as the flavors are very dynamic through the tasting and a few of them are pretty unique. Definitely try worth for the money..if only to stimulate your tasting chops.

I'm surprised that Milagro Blanco did not have a higher average rating on this app. A 3.5/5 is a 70% C-... a bit low for this beverage that I rated at a 4/5= 80%. Sure there are only 10 percentage points between the two ratings described above, but it's not a bastard tequila. It has the expected traditional notes, plus the characteristics for regret-free mixing or spiced and sweet sipping. Great price point for this unashamed tequila.

I bought this because I have tried the resposado in the very fancy bottle and really enjoyed that. Also because it was inly $35 and I needed to hit the minimum amount for delivery. It’s quite easy to drink on it’s own. It’s quite smooth but it doesn’t really have any taste or character. It would be a good choice for anyone that is trying to get into tequila or wants to mix tequila in a cocktail without really tasting it.
