These aromas follow on the palate where you’ll also find ripe heirloom carrots, Kaffir limes and roasted pear. This is a classic, flavorful tequila--one that is far from the vodka-like tequilas that are on the market.
Overall, this is quite nice. It’s an amazing blanco, especially when you notice where on the shelf this sits. Pricing not accounted, I still find El Tesoro Blanco an excellent sipper and a sure fire avenue to a great margarita as well.
Green aromas of black pepper, pepper jack cheese, sweet potato, rose petal, and orange and lemon zest with a fat body. A fun, bright, and fruity blanco great for fun times and complex cocktails.

House Review
Nose:
Beautiful character on the nose. Tons of fresh cracked pepper, light salinity and fresh tropical fruits - mango, light papaya, some pineapple. Not too sweet, white pepper, orange rind and light coriander combine nicely for a tropical pop on the nose.
Taste:
Moderate mouthfeel - surprisingly rich for 40% ABV. Rising sourdough, rye crackers, lime and orange peel. Sweet cream, a bit of pepper, a hint of herbal bitterness.
Finish:
Long finish, peppery and more fruits here. Faint plasticity, but nothing crazy. Agave character remains bright.
