TequilaGringo 91 pts This tequila is a pale yellow. Smells of light citrus, honey, and generally sweet. On tasting it, we picked up a trace of caramel and a generally tequila taste that we really like. It’s definitely a complex tequila with a long finish. Not for the faint of heart though, as it has…

Frida Kahlo Anejo
TequilaGringo 88pts We found this to be a silky tequila. It didn’t have any bite, and light heat. A faint wisp of caramel along with honey notes. More barrel tasting than agave tasting. We thought it was a great sipping tequila but came up a little short compared to some of our other favorites because…
Penca Azul Reposado
TequilaGringo 89 pts We had this one by itself (not in a flight with other tequilas) and we liked it a lot. It’s a very delicate tequila with a light, smokey taste. Still very much a tequila as well, with a nice bit of agave flavor. We thought that this might be a good beginner…
Tenoch Reposado
From Tequila Gringo 89pts We really liked this tequila, and for the price it’s a winner. We picked up nut and some wood and found the consistency to be almost creamy. It’s smooth with only a little warmth, making it a great starter tequila. If you’re looking for a good gift tequila to bring to…
Stallion Tequila Anejo
Tequila Gringo 90pts We bought a small bottle of this just because of the bottle design frankly. Maybe we liked that one scene in the Godfather or something, who knows. At any rate, turns out – this is a hell of a tequila! And the full size bottle is also a candle holder! Now seriously,…
Tesoro Azteca Blanco
Tequila Gringo 91 pts Here’s a unique blanco. We’ve had mescals that tasted like this, but not blancos. This one had a unique richness to it, and a very smokey taste with hints of pepper. Usually you need more time in a barrel to pick up tastes like these. If you like smokey tequilas, this…
Siete Leguas Anejo
Tequila Gringo 89pts We came in with high hopes after seeing this tequila win the SF Spirit award for Top Anejo, and we didn’t find that this quite lived up to those hopes. We picked up a lot of agave in the taste, perhaps a little honey and some earthiness. It had a longish finish…
1921 Reserva Especial
Tequila Gringo 89pts This one drinks like an anejo more than like a repo, is marketed sort of like an anejo, but my understanding is that some of it is aged 9 months, while other batches are aged over a year (you must age it over a year for it to be an anejo) depending…
Cabo Wabo Reposado
Tequila Gringo Review 88pts Having had a few great nights back in college at Cabo San Lucas’ Cabo Wabo Cantina (man that air conditioning was key) we were ready to give Sammy Hagar’s effort a shot (pun intended). Sure all the locals down there say the tequila is no good, that you have to get…
Casa Noble Reposado
Tequila Gringo 90pts We’ve been fans of Casa Noble’s Anejo for a long time here at Tequila Gringo, and everything we heard got our hopes up super high for the Reposado. When we finally found our chance at LA’s El Carmen, we weren’t disappointed. At first we liked the smell, but what was interesting was…
Partida Anejo
Tequila Gringo 89pts Partida is one of the old names in premium tequila in the US so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately for it though, we had it in a tasting with Casa Noble Anejo and Chinaco’s Anejo, and it just didn’t hold up in our opinion. It was very pleasant…
Asom Broso Blanco
Tequila Gringo 89 pts We weren’t in love with the smell of this tequila, and frankly couldn’t find anything special in the smell to point out. The taste however was much better, particularly how it finished. We’d say it’s a pretty good tequila, but not one of our favorites. Heck of a fancy bottle though,…
