It’s been almost a season since we last did a tequila, but luckily much like how well received Casa Noble was – this too is pretty dang good. If there’s a real complaint it’s how it fares with a bit of ice, or just a tad too much burn, or a little high on sweetness – but these are ultimately nitpicks. (reviews notes) Ah right that’s sort of our whole deal, but considering most often the other part of that deal is wading through the shit to find the shine, well as the gold labeling will prove – this is shiny.

Cincoro Blanco Tequila 750mL
There are many things that are considered ‘top-shelf’ and are placed there accordingly. This given it’s height (just under 18 inches) sort of demands to be top-shelf, like a “just try to figure out how I don’t go into overhead empty space”. That being said it sort of actually deserves to be there, because giant curved angle modern art bottle aside – the contents within are truly top-shelf as well.
El Espolón Blanco Tequila 750mL
Finally the trio is completed, and according to a minor argument we had with a friend of the site – it’s about damn time. They’d made it abundantly clear to us that for Espolón – the Reposado was okay, and the Anejo wasn’t worth the time or additional funds (agreed) – the Blanco was where the real action is at. Well call us crow eaters because they were entirely correct.
Astral Blanco Tequila 750mL
2020, well it’s certainly a new year despite the same old problems going on – a microcosm of this tequila if we’re honest. No part of this is truly terrible (well the price is for what you’re getting) but it is overall just – fine. The same beats told again of not having anything spectacular, burn a little too much, and then to compound the sin – basic ass mixers.
Ollitas Blanco Tequila 750mL
Happy Memorial Day everyone, hopefully, you are enjoying the nice weather with some barbeques, some brews, and a nice margarita. Normally this is the bit where we change from something nice into why this sucks – but not this time. That’s because of this publish date this is the best-rated tequila overall on this site.
Sangre de Vida Blanco Tequila 750mL
Alright and so begins the month of tequila reviews from the company of Sangre de Vida. The lounge received a review sampler set among it’s scotch so we’ll be intersplicing it with that before we move onto the United Kingdom content next month. So those familiar with this ‘shape’ will recall our review of Kah Reposado, and it seems there’s a looming underbelly of hatred and lawsuits between the two companies over the fact that a normal person isn’t likely to notice a difference. The problem there being that to a certain degree Kah is much better (oh no, we spoiled a whole month this time)
Hacienda Vieja Tequila Blanco 750mL
So this was recently at a wine tasting at my local shop, and I was surprised by how clean it tasted that I decided to buy it at the sale price it was for. The Buffalo Lounge has a lot of transient spirits, but only a select few get bought again and again to fill decanters, or be used as infusers. This however is a high contender for replacing my standard silver tequila.
