Too bad tequila taste is very strong ethanol

Not a very good teqila. Leaves a foul aftertaste when doing shots and margaritas just dont taste right.
Quite good, to a discerning palate. Truth be told, the Blanco is a bit harsh; but the Reposado and the Añejo go down very smoothly. If you’re looking for a tequila to shoot, look elsewhere. This one’s for sipping. Cabo Wabo tastes best on the rocks, in my opinion. For a sipping tequila that one can enjoy ‘neat’, I suggest either Chinaco or Corralejo.
