Cenote Ahumado Tequila
Brilliant, pale, golden straw color. The nose is intriguing with scents of wood-aged avage spirit with accents of citrus, earth, and campfire smoke (not Mezcal levels of smoke), vegetal notes. The palate echoes the nose delivering an earthy, baked agave center with generous notes of smoke, wood, and spice finishing with black pepper accents. Medium-bodied with competing flavors of earth, smoke, wood, and agave. $75.99 – 3 Stars
Cultor Flora (RTD)
Brilliant, grapefruit color being completely opaque. The nose is complex and intriguing with scents of watermelon, cucumber, grapefruit and just a faint hint of floral notes but we wanted more hibiscus. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a fruit-forward core with sweet grapefruit and cucumber in the lead with pithy citrus notes on the finish. Medium-bodied and very refreshing, especially when served over ice. $22.99 – 3.5 Stars
Cultor Coco (RTD)
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is filled with the scent of fresh coconut water with limejuice and subtle notes of Tequila. The palate echoes the nose albeit a bit sweeter than expected with coconut flavors in the lead with hints of lime and Tequila in support finishing with a slightly tart, citrus pith note. Medium-bodied and very refreshing. $22.99 – 4 Stars
Cultor Passion (RTD)
Brilliant, golden color being nearly opaque. The nose is very tropical with the scents of ripe passionfruit in the lead with subtle hints of chili, citrus, and Tequila. The palate agrees with the tropical notes found in the aromatics but the chili was very stealth and rises on the palate following the tropical fruits and finishing with a lingering, bold chili accent. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit foiled by spicy chili flavors. $22.99 – 4 Stars
Cultor Soul (RTD)
Brilliant, pale straw color being nearly opaque. The nose opens with some funky organic notes with fermented pineapple in the lead supported by notes of ginger and Tequila. The palate echoes the nose while being more pleasingly fruity with welcomed peppery ginger notes and citrus. Medium-bodied with a great balance of flavors and a long, lingering finish. $22.99 – 3.5 Stars
Batch 22 New American Aquavit
Brilliant, golden color. The aromatics are totally alluring, offering scents of freshly baked rye bread, fresh dill, lemon zest, and hints of caramel. The palate echoes the nose delivering a silky fruit and caramel-centric core with waves of a bright potpourri of botanicals, including fresh herbs, citrus, and peppermint. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with warm spice notes and floral accents. $42.99 – 4.5 Stars
Bribon Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is filled with the scents of spring flowers, white sugar, green tea, and hints of earth and salt.

Medium-bodied with good balance thanks to a vibrant dose of citrus and black pepper on the finish. $19.99 – 3.5 Stars
Cenote Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are subtle with scents of citrus zest, mineral, baked agave, and salt.

Medium-bodied with good balance due to the generous spice accents arising on the finish. $45.99 – 3.5 Stars

siponey Royale (RTD)
Hazy, pale golden straw color with a subtle bead of bubbles. The nose is subtle but distinct being akin to a fresh Whiskey Sour flashing scents of Whiskey, lemon, and subtle hints of honey. The palate echoes the nose delivering a Whiskey-driven core with generous waves of lemon and honey with a faint spritz. Medium-bodied and refreshing with a light spritz (we would like more) and enough tart lemon accents to make this a very refreshing drink. $20 - 4-pack. 355ml cans – 4 Stars
