Casamigos Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is fantastically rich and complex with scents of ripe agave, as well as tropical and orchard fruits with accents of honey, candied ginger, and citrus with hints of black pepper and vanilla bean. The palate echoes the nose delivering a lush, velvet-like mouthfeel with a concerto of ripe fruit at its core flanked perfectly by notes of sea salt, spice, and citrus. Ideally balanced and perfect for sipping or making one hell of a luxurious margarita. $42.99 – 5 Stars
Avion Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is amazingly complex and generous with waves of wild flowers with loads of ripe agave, tropical fruits, baked pear, honeysuckle, citrus zest, and black pepper. The palate is equal to the nose being lush while vibrant with layers of citrus, earth, sea salt, coriander seed, soft green notes, and a refreshing dose of acidity that begs for the next sip. This is a wonderfully proportioned Tequila with great length and balance. It sips well but in a fresh cocktail this Blanco would be most at home. $40 – 5 Stars
Avion Reposado, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant pale straw color showing just faint barrel influences. However, the aromatics are full of barrel notes as cinnamon, allspice, clove, and pepper mingle with the generous baked tropical and orchard fruits. The palate echoes the nose delivering a rich but vibrant mélange of baked fruits with waves of spice and citrus. The bright and uplifting dose of acidity found in the Avion Blanco is present here as well, perfectly supporting the semisweet brown spices. A repo worthy of sipping as the pure agave spirit plays the starring role. $45 – 5 Stars
