It's not life changing, but certainly worth picking up if you like the above flavors. For the price, it's a solid value and the bottle is just a bonus. It's not overly sweet and delivers a nicely balanced lightly vegetal agave sipper. This tequila has a nice crisp (and unique) profile. It's always nice when a beautiful bottle doesn't contain run of the mill garbage. It's not a long finish, but it's a pleasant one. You can tell that it's aged, but it's still pretty crisp.įinish: A tasty combo of oak and spice with that green hint that is present throughout.
Not very sweet at all, this tequila has a very oak forward taste with some bitterness on. The 60 price for this at least makes the bottle worth collecting for the hand blown novelty of a horse within the bottle. The tequila is average for an XA, except for the price. The oak flavors come forward a bit more along with some light pepper. As usual, the bottle from this brand is an impressive construct. Initial Taste: A nicely vegetal, but also sweet (still with fruit) agave initial entry.īody: Moderately thin bodied. For example, Meloza and Tres Mujeres come out of the same distillery and taste nothing alike so I'm not sure what to expect with Casino Azul other than that the bottle is real purty.Īroma: A green agave with hints of pineapple. Some distilleries have tequilas that taste similar and some are very different.
But with 40+ brands made at NOM 1466 they have to differentiate somehow. A glass bird inside of a beautiful globe and stem bottle. That's pretty much what you do when you see the Casino Azul bottles. While I mostly have fun drinking the tequila, sometimes I just have to marvel at the artwork that is done with some of these bottles.
