The Tapatio Blanco Tequila is a silver tequila that's as good as gold! (We'd like to make it clear that we're using "good as gold" as an expression, not comparing it to Joven/gold tequila. That would just be silly.)
Baffled at the split decisions in some of these reviews. I’ve had countless measures of the full Tapatio range, sure the 110 is absolutely worth the marginal price difference.. But you have here an absolute staple in consistently agave forward tequila. Loads of tasty white pepper and that signature sticks around for cocktails should sipping not suffice. There is better tequila (Fortaleza, 123, Arquitecto) but this quality, price and reliability? Tremendous Trifecta.
This is what tequila tastes like when its made in its purest form, from estate grown agave (Carlos Camarena), traditional methods and with zero additives or "taste profiling" as its often called! Carlos exports this range to the US to show them what its all really about. Its Mexican dancing juice (just like the label shows) and if you like or are interested in tequilas you REALLY need to try this AND the entire Tapatio range. Enjoy!
This is a raw-tasting blanco, you really get the agave and the mineral bite. Not as refined as some but beautifully honest. Great to drink on its own.
As a bar manager, this blanco is my house pour and the agave notes from it are sublime. It really makes an amazing margarita or bloody maria :) . The 110 is a slap in my face flavor and i love it too. recommend this brand, in terms of value for money against flavor, quality and distillation method. I rate their range, my only issue it the Excellencia is no longer available :( . this gran reserva is the most incredible liquid i have ever had the pleasure of trying. Please batch more!! many thanks K . Petrov U.B. Bar
Some ridiculous reviews here about arguably the finest Blanco tequila produced. Ask any tequila expert about Tapatio and its creator Carlos Camarena about any tequila produced at La Altena Distillery (NOM 1139) and you will only receive pure adulation. Expecially about Tapatio. The reason Ocho exists is because Tomas Estes, co owner of Ocho (with Carlos) & Tequila Ambassador for Europe is because of his love for Tapatio, after visiting the distillery so many times. As a side note, another legend of the tequila industry - Julio Bermejo, owner of the most respected & popular tequila bars in the world - Tommy's in San Francisco - and Tequila Ambassador for the US also made the decision to get his tequila made at the La Altena Distillery. In fact he ended up marrying the co owner & Carlos sister!! Tapatio has been made at the distillery since 1937 and is the pride of the family. To give this tequila 1 star out of 5 is simply ignorant if you like Ocho so much. Ocho & Tapatio Blanco are two of my favourite tequilas, they are very close cousins. If you love one, you will enjoy the other. I will not reply to 7th February reviewer, this comment should be taken down from the wonderful Master of Malt website. I would love for this ''MASSIVE tequila fan'' to post their favourite tequilas. Please readers, do not consider the review, it is pure nonsense.
