Join Lippy as he tastes his way through all 6(!) bottles of the Luna Nueva brand, and manages to sort through 6 different Jerky brands to pair with them. It’s a Tequila/Jerky-off, and YOU are there! Tequila Details: BRAND: LUNA NUEVA NOM: 1558 AGAVE SOURCE: Lowlands & Highlands, French Oak barrel aging BRAND: LUNA NUEVA 2012 NOM: 1107 AGAVE SOURCE: Lowlands & Highlands, Bourboned White Oak aging GENERAL TASTING NOTES: In this episode we learned that Luna Nueva has two completely different brand variants: the basic “clear-bottled” Luna Nueva brand (NOM 1558), and the frosted-bottled, Luna Nueva 2012 edition (NOM 1107). The “clear” juice is formulated specifically for an “introductory” palate, and it lives up to that mission statement quite well. Your Tequila Whisperer found the blanco to be well-integrated in its flavors of citrus (with a pleasing side-note of thyme) and cooked agave. The repo and anejo brought forth a kind of “cotton candy” sweetness to the flavor profile that ultimately turned him off. Newer devotees to tequila may enjoy this addition of sweetness, so don’t walk from this brand so fast. It could make you many friends at a Holiday party of tequila newbies. The frosted, “2012” juice (NOM 1107) is a completely different story. This juice was formulated at the older, traditional, “El Viejito” distillery in the Jalisco lowlands. The flavor profile completely announces its traditional heritage. These flavors feature a softer and rounder profile (as opposed to the clear’s bright and thin tastes). While tasting the reposado, the addition of aged bourbon oak barrels create a massively full and wonderfully complex interplay with the blanco. This creates a repo that has immense staying power over an evening’s worth of tequila drinking. Lip says you will NOT grow bored of this repo after a few glasses! The anejo continues the oak –influenced deep sweetness, but lacks the complexity that the blanco tastes brought to the repo. While the anejo’s finish was long and lovely, in the end your Tequila Whisperer chose the repo as the brand’s winning variant. Fans of ultimate sweet-softness with an ongoing spice component will find a lot to like in the anejo, so why not buy all three ages and thoroughly enjoy and evening off? RECCOMENDED BUY: LUNA NUEVA 2012 Reposado (though ALL the ages of this variant are completely worthy and affordable) JERKYS TASTED: Green Light Jerky Company Chef Craig’s Original Beef Jerky Trails West Buffalo Jerky Jeff’s Famous Beef Jerky Phil’s Beef Jerky Angelo’s Beef Jerky No license (All rights reserved) searchonly It’s the (Mayan) End of the World as we know it, and your TEQUILA WHISPERER is feeling fine because he’s got a Man-Cave loaded with fabulous tequilas and some of the best BEEF JERKY in the USA!

This episode’s results show that fortitude in SPADES. 5750 http://blip.tv/file/6389667 Food & Drink best tequila review siembra azul buscadores asombroso chinaco 11 year Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:15:22 +0000 best tequila review, siembra azul, buscadores, asombroso, chinaco 11 year http://a.images.blip.tv/TequilaWhisperer-17_BlindTastingFanSuppliedMinis755.jpg best tequila review, siembra azul, buscadores, asombroso, chinaco 11 year <iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/hfYcg4eCOwI.x?p=1" width="720" height="433" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#hfYcg4eCOwI" style="display:none"></embed> yes true #17_Blind-Tasting Fan-Supplied minis A0F19442-1A20-11E2-A147-9FEDF046AFD3 http://blip.tv/tequilawhisperer/19_dulce-vida-tequila-review-blanco-reposado-anejo-6406348 #19_Dulce Vida Tequila Review: blanco, reposado, anejo TequilaWhisperer 398818 tequilawhisperer tequilawhisperer The Tequila Whisperer Show http://blip.tv/tequilawhisperer http://a.images.blip.tv/TequilaWhisperer-picture673.jpg 6406348 6389656 file no 0.0 2012-10-19T19:10:21Z English Drinks,Food/Drink 0 0 0 4 Food & Drink Food & Drink 2 5619 hfYcg4eCMAI http://blip.tv/play/hfYcg4eCMAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post6406348&skin=rss TequilaWhisperer-19_DulceVidaTequilaReviewBlancoReposadoAnejo846.jpg Have you ever attempted to walk through FIRE to get to the sweet-tasting good life on the other side?

Th’ Lip tasted all three age varieties of the new “Dulce Vida” 100 proof tequilas. As you know, the vast majority of U.S. tequilas have a 40% alcohol content (80 proof). The extra 10% alcohol increase really DOES change the mouth feel profile and also affects the taste, though to a lesser degree. Surprise: these tequila were WAY more spicy than their 80 proof counterparts, and that is EXACTLY what made them so engaging over the long run.

Rather, with “Teteo” you get a good, solid, roasted agave taste with a surprising amount of chewy, mouthfeel. In fact, the viscous mouth and the pleasing finish of this blanco were its greatest features. Currently only available in California, you can find “Teteo” at some of the bigger Ca-based online retailers. Lippy recommends this blanco as a great sipper while watching some serious War dramas (“Band of Brothers”) or perhaps a gripping suspense yarn. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easily it goes down and how long it lasts!

Come on along and bring your favorite (BIG) tasting vessel. Sip along as we review Azul Imperial, Mi Casa, Alderete, and Don Elias tequilas. Lippy rustled up some previous medal winners from past Monterey Expos and found his favorite age variant from all ages of the brands provided. This was an especially difficult choice because a few brands presented great juice in multiple ages of their product. Be that as it may, your intrepid Tequila Whisperer persevered through it all and came up with 4 Must-Taste tequilas for your sipping enjoyment. Whether you’re traipsing through the Expo or enjoying these brands at home or at a party, there is something here to like for every age (and wallet) preference. Add to all of this the show’s musical soundtrack is provided by the great Monterey Pop Festival from exactly 45 years ago. This is an episode you’ll be singing along to! Blanco: “Azul Imperial” (NOM 1549). This blanco was an immediate favorite owing to its soft and “round” taste that brought forth a nice bottom end and a full load of rich, roasted agave. Additionally there was a very “clean” mouth feel allowing to this blanco to become an instant winner. What Th’ lip was NOT prepared for was its long and warm (NOT a commonplace occurrence). When sipping Azul Imperial make sure to leave a long time between sips as you’ll want to savor that lingering finish! Reposado: “Mi Casa” (NOM 1499). Your Tequila Whisperer was impressed by both the repo AND the anejo of this family owned and operated brand. But ultimately it was the reposado that really shone in its even balance of sweet cinnamon coupled with a blanket of caramel oak. Lippy has tasted many brands that have been produced at the 1499 distillery, and can say without equivocation that Mi Casa is the richest tasting brand he’s ever had from that factory. Enjoy this reposado - and after a few evenings with it, seek out its older anejo brother. You’ll be in for an even more lush experience there. Anejo: “Alderete” (NOM 1414). Buckle up for this one, tasters! The Alderete anejo will take you on a deep, rich, and spicy ride through agave country. Your Tequila Whisperer was not prepared for such a rich experience from this anejo. It keeps the acidic tang of its blanco “seed stock”, but balances that sprightly agave note with thick slathers of menthol, mint, and vanilla! Wow. There is a lot to like here, and you’ll find yourself reaching for the bottle to refill your glass again and again. Nice going, Alderete. Welcome to Th’ Lip’s home bar! Extra Anejo: “Don Elias” (NOM 1477). You like a sweet ride on your agave adventures? Then look no further. This bargain-priced “XA” will lead you on a soft journey through tasting territory with stops on sugar hill and cologne-spice colonnade. You’ll get a nice mélange of disparate flavors in this extra aged cocktail of components. Though Th’ Lip favors a less-sweet tequila, fans of the fruit will enjoy Don Elias’ easy sipping qualities. Bring this one to a party of “Tequila Newbies” and make friends immediately.

Lippy was completely onboard for ALL ages of this stellar juice. Each age varietal was a great representative of its class.

This is a brand to buy a lot of and smile about later when your friends ask for another glass! 4258 http://blip.tv/file/6344653 Food & Drink tequila best review don modesto blanco reposado anejo Wed, 19 Sep 2012 21:21:28 +0000 tequila, best review, don modesto, blanco, reposado, anejo http://a.images.blip.tv/TequilaWhisperer-32_DonModestoTequilaReviewBlancoReposadoAnejo623.jpg tequila, best review, don modesto, blanco, reposado, anejo <iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/hfYcg4SifgI.x?p=1" width="720" height="433" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#hfYcg4SifgI" style="display:none"></embed> yes true #32_Don Modesto Tequila Review: blanco, reposado, anejo 89F043B2-029F-11E2-B9C7-BDD7B86CE3CB http://blip.tv/tequilawhisperer/33_1921-tequila-review-blanco-reposado-anejo-6361361 #33_1921 Tequila Review: blanco, reposado, anejo TequilaWhisperer 398818 tequilawhisperer tequilawhisperer The Tequila Whisperer Show http://blip.tv/tequilawhisperer http://a.images.blip.tv/TequilaWhisperer-picture673.jpg 6361361 6344644 file no 0.0 2012-09-19T21:18:21Z English Drinks,Food/Drink 0 0 0 4 Food & Drink Food & Drink 2 3880 hfYcg4SidQI http://blip.tv/play/hfYcg4SidQI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post6361361&skin=rss TequilaWhisperer-33_1921TequilaReviewBlancoReposadoAnejo705.jpg It was a marriage made in Heaven; Lippy and his “Tequila 1921” blanco. It was through this mighty brand that th’ Lip first learned to identify the powerful aroma of WET CEMENT. 1921 was a “go-to” sipper for many happy years with its earthy –herbal & mineral-y spice profile. In fact, one of the highlights of his “Tequila Camp” sojourn was when Lippy got to visit the distillery (NOM 1079) where the original 1921 was made. Times have changed, though—and 1921 has moved on to another distillery and an evolution in flavor. This show has it all. Th’ Lip takes you through the new 1921 blanco and anejo, with side trips down Memory Lane (where he pulls out the OLD stuff and does a side x side comparison, of course..) How has the once-stellar 1921 blanco evolved? Is it still a “buy”? It’s all in this omnibus 1921 extravaganza, Friends! Tequila 1921 still offers up a spicy, mineral soup that places it above the more “one-note” flavor profiles of many new brands. Though th’ Lip longs for the absolutely SINGULAR taste of the original 1921, the current flavor and mouth feel combined with a competitive price for all 3 current ages makes this brand a solid “buy”. The finish on the blanco and anejo in particular impressed and appealed. Bring this one to your next party and watch the revelers gape open-mouthed at the beautiful bottle and the exciting juice within!

Tequila Semental has no time for you and the sweet–seeking tip of your tongue. It goes straight to the mid and back palate with a wash of fruity HEAT and finishes for a L O N G time. Look for the most interest in the silver and the anejo. The introduction of French Oak in the anejo brings the added flavor interest that takes this age into a solid “buy” category. While the silver has some fruity citrus notes and of course the back-heat, the reposado seems a bit “confused” with its mash-up of oak and heat. Not Semental’s best offering.

This was one of the hardest-fought victories that EUA has ever faced on the “Whisperer” show. The Tradicional was a formidable challenger who featured a pleasant bottom-end taste of slight citrus and shallow sugar. Ultimately it was lacking an agave taste-punch while the EUA brought forth the agave in droves. EUA needs to be watching its back however, as it’s sweet clovey-allspice flavor enhancement is starting to annoy. But you cannot argue with success. For the money (and the TASTE) El Ultimo Agave reposado remains; “The Bargain Bottle Champion” – reposado class.

La Cofradia (NOM 1137) creates quite a few brands (Amate, La Cofradia, Luna Sueno, Casa Noble, and more) and they’re known for their recognizable “house style” of slightly off-centered, bitter-influenced flavors (especially their blancos). Senor Rio is no exception, but it also features a great vegetal green and bright taste on their blanco. Watch as Lippy negotiates the flavor structures of the blanco, reposado, and anejo. Then thrill to his unexpected discovery that he has unintentionally opened a TREASURE BOTTLE of Casa Noble blanco! HA. We thought you ran a much tighter ship than that, Lip! Moving up the product line Lippy found a very close kinship between the Senor Rio reposado and the anejo. Almost too close. While the repo added some welcome complexity notes owing to a 6 month resting period in French oak, there was very little added from the repo to the anejo. A sweetness component for sure, but also a higher alcohol attack. The finish on all 3 ages of the product was mostly from alcohol warmth as opposed to a lasting concert of interesting flavors. A note has to be included about the high ticket price of the entire Senor Rio line. It could benefit from a decrease in price of about 20% in this reviewers opinion. If you find them at an affordable price, give the blanco and repo a shot. If you like a lot of heat in your anejo, Senor Rio could be a match!

Tomas Estes has come to town with his newest vintages of Tequila Ocho in tow. Prepare to have deep philosophical ruminations about the nature of tequila production. Do you have a notebook handy? The Master Class is in session! Your Tequila Whisperer is pleased and honored to welcome back Tequila Ambassador to the European Union & founder of Tequila Ocho, Sr. Tomas Estes! We taste the newly released Ocho extra anejo along with the just-bottled “El Puertecito” plata, vintage 2011. Along the way Tomas introduces us to the new category of 108% de agave tequila! What does THAT mean? Watch and learn about the pending release of “Curado” tequila! “El Puertecito” plata (2011) is a thick and complex ride through a wonderfully balanced Rancho. Lippy was struck by the miles-deep mouth feel of this blanco. What also pleased him was the balance of many complex and fruity flavors. This was easily the “thickest” and fruitiest Rancho ever presented by Tequila Ocho. Though “El Puertecito” doesn’t bring quite as much green agave notes forward as in older Ranchos (most notably “El Carrizal” 2008), the agave taste is certainly there and the addition of the herbal fruit makes this plata an instant classic. The “El Vergel” extra anejo (3 years in used Jack Daniels barrels) will be perhaps the lightest-tasting extra anejo you’ll ever experience. In keeping with Tequila Ocho’s philosophy of “Agave Above All”, the wood notes of this XA have been significantly dialed back. Th’ Lip found it hard to get too excited about this Ocho variant. Without a thick and “brown” bottom end to the flavor, the tequila ultimately ends up tasting like a rich anejo. It’s a very fine tasting anejo to be sure, but mostly lacking in the deeper caramel, toast, vanilla and other flavors which Lippy enjoys in an extra aged product. You gotta give Ocho credit for a consistent philosophy, though. There’s no acquiescing to fashion or over-wooded trends. This XA is true to its heritage.

Introducing Pura Vida tequila. This highlands brand is from one of Lippy’s favorite distilleries. How will the new Tejas-based juice compare with its factory-cousins? Watch this LOUD and Raucous episode to see! So yeah, they got the big name rockstars behind the juice, but how does it really stand up under tasting scrutiny? Well that’s what you come HERE to learn, compadre. So settle into somewhere comfortable and get your SPICE on, because we’re taking a tangy trip through the west Texas desert and things may get a bit “dicey”. GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Pura Vida brings a bouquet of floral and spice elements to the taste party. The blanco in particular features an extra “crisp” and light flavor with sweet caramels and lavender notes along with a very spicy back-palate thrust. Look for a long and warm finish on this blanco, although your Lip found that ultimately the “high end” of the tequila seemed to be pushed at the cost of losing some of the bass notes. The reposado brought an essence of vanilla and (predictably) oak into the mix, but there was also a quick hit of “shrimp-grass” on the initial attack which was ultimately off-putting. The repo tones down the sweetness considerably, so if you like a bit of bitter wood in your repo this will be completely Heaven for you. The anejo was where this brand (and NOM 1414) really shines. There is a lush and wonderfully balanced essence in the anejo which brings forth baskets of fruit, herbs, vanilla and even traces of coffee! This fruity and grassy herbaceous mix is a complete satisfaction event, and the price (around $40) makes this anejo a must-have in your collection. Nice work, Pura Vida!

Sure you do! Hop on the Th’ Lip Express and get the juicy details about Montoro, a great new brand that is about to be released (hopefully) in your area any week, now. Lippy takes the agave express to the heart of the tequila highlands and tastes all four ages of this new brand in a full-palate workout with a surprised ending! There are so many new brands showing up at the door of the Man-Cave these days, and it’s becoming a bit routine for the juices to lack any great definition. Will Montoro break the cycle of mediocrity? Watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: MONTORO NOM: 1460 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Montoro brings a solid highlands profile of spice and floral interest to all the ages of their tequilas. One of the big differentiators of the brand is their aging solely in new French oak barrels as opposed to the “defacto” choice of aging in used American white oak bourbon barrels. The blanco was a great ride of butter, spice and spiky heat. It left a pleasing trail of slight citrus and caramel-baked agave sugar. It also featured a great, thick mouth feel. Very pleasing. The reposado “protected” the spice component of the blanco while adding the sweetness with a distinct slight vanilla fudginess inherent in French Oak. This repo really grew on Th’ Lip as it became a great template of complicated balance of flavors. The anejo took a side-trip away from the repo, but not necessarily for the better. The mouth feel and overall flavor girth seems to narrow and command less interest than the repo. Although the anejo brought a deeper wood-sweetness into play, it ultimately featured a sister bitter component which was not necessary. The extra anejo is aged 4 years in French oak and is a marvel of deep sweet flavors and great balance. The nose features really pleasing mixes of cinnamon, butter, and sweet menthol. On the palate you’ll find a thick and pleasing flavor ball which features more deep cinnamon, caramel and honey. A great and affordable complex XA!

He unlocks the mysteries of champagne yeast, superstar Master Distillers, and the functionality of playing classical music to stimulate alcohol production! It’s like “Alice Through the Looking Glass”, but with TEQUILA! Tequila Gran Dovejo is a new brand that was created by two cousins as an homage to their family homestead (Ovejo) in Jalisco, Mexico. They contracted one of Th’ Lip’s favorite distilleries (NOM 1414) but in an interesting twist, they brought their own Master Distiller into the process to give the juice a singular handprint. How does it all shake out on the taste buds? Watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: GRAN DOVEJO NOM: 1414 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Gran Dovejo pride themselves on their tequila’s singular flavor profile with its distinct break from the “house style” at NOM 1414. In these efforts they succeed wholeheartedly. By bringing in Master Distiller, Leopoldo Solis Tinoco, the Gran Dovejo founders have deftly produced a new brand which utilizes “old school” distilling processes yet creates a singular flavor profile completely unlike anything else produced by this traditional distillery. The blanco brings a wet and musty full load of sweet agave on the attack. Lippy was rewarded by letting the tequila sit and “open up” for 10 – 15 minutes. Most of the flavor action on the blanco happens on the back of the palate and upper throat, leaving a white pepper finish that is VERY long-lasting and comforting. Then the blanco does a neat trick of turning what remained on the upper mid-palate SWEET! In this way, you get a white pepper finish and a sweet mouth feel all at the same time! Nice job. The repo and the anejo fared less successfully on Lip’s palate. There was a heavy introduction of oak which overpowered the more subtle flavors and there was an addition of musty, wet cardboard tastes which grew in the anejo until it became a very singular flavor. Not to Th’ Lip’s liking for the most part – though fans of thick vanilla+wood will certainly appreciate these flavor variants.

On this episode, Lippy tastes the new brand, Excellia, which boasts being aged in both Sauternes and Cognac casks! Will this be a fruitful wood partnership (a’la Lennon-McCartney)? Or will it be a raging battle of two very different personality types that ultimately don’t play well together (a’la Lennon-McCartney)? Watch & See! Excellia is a partnership between the new-generation French distiller, Jean-Sebastien Robicquet and the mighty Master Distiller of El Tesoro and so many other stellar brands: Carlos Camarena. Sr. Camarena created the “seed” tequila in his La Altena Highlands distillery, then began aging the tequila in two different types of barrels and in the end, blended them to his exacting standards. What finally came out of the “tequila Castle” will delight and mystify you in its complexity AND its subtlety. Come along for the ride. Excellia, Tequila, Review, best , blanco, reposado, anejo, Sauternes, Cognac, brandy, Lippy, Whisperer, Beatles, George Harrison GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Excellias’ aging/blending process harkens back to previous bold againg experiments by Carlos Camarena. His “Paradiso” extra anejo is famous for its cognac-barreled aging process – perhaps the first commercial tequila to be shipped with this pedigree. So it’s no surprise that he has entered into a partnership where he can acquire Grand Cru Sauternes barrels as well as deeply aged brand barrels and get to work blending them in his singular process. Even the blanco is “rested’ a few weeks in a combination of these barrels. This lends the lightly-aged juice a bit of complex sweetness. There is a distinct essence of clove on the nose with a honeyed back end. On the palate it features a surprising bite of spice and olive brine, but Th’ Lip was disappointed in the lack of rich agave flavor. Overall the blanco seemed a bit too ‘rounded off” on the edges without enough agave center to keep it interesting. Nice, long finish though. With all of these “faults”, the blanco is still better than 70% of what’s out there in the marketplace, but we’ve come to expect a more agave-rich experience from La Altena blancos. The nose on the reposado immediately presented a lot more agave than the blanco (how do they DO that?). Also wisps of lavender and other floral components were presented. On the mid palate was where most of the wood introduction took place – swimming laughingly above the spice-alcohol tingle. But this was not a loud introduction. Excellia repo is very subtle (some will say TOO subtle). You’ll “miss” a lot of the interesting components of this tequila if you’re not concentrating on each sip, and at $80/bottle that may be too much to ask of all but the most dedicated tequila aficionados. Like the blanco, the repo engaged the throat in a long lingering warm bath of a finish. The anejo brought a rich, “brown” experience which really turned Lippy on. The nose featured some tart green apple with a rich, honeyed bottom end that was a thick bouquet of complexity. On the palate, the anejo featured a sharp acidic, tannin accompaniment which was at once pleasing and annoying simultaneously. This is not Th’ Lip’s first experience with this reaction to a La Altena anejo. He has found a similar acidic attack in the much-vaunted, “El Tesoro White Label” (ETWL) anejo. Ultimately the Excellia anejo was pleasing in its dark bottom-end flavors and rich lasting finish which blanketed the throat and back palate. Certainly it is a winner in its aging prowess and the complex interplay of flavors. But in the end, Lippy found that his mouth felt “crowded” by all of the palate activity in the anejo, and he opted for the more “spacious” feel of the repo. It allowed the taster a bit more room to “walk around” the individual flavors and enjoy them without feeling pressed.

After tasting the current D Los Altos, your Tequila Whisperer cracks open a comparative Treasure bottle of old D Los Altos blanco with VERY disappointing results. This episode is distinctly NOT for the faint of heart, or those with sensitive hearing! D Los Altos from about 10 years ago (NOM 1483) was a stellar inexpensive brand that brought MOUNDS of soft mineral wetness along with a sweet herbal center. The brand has since changed distilleries at least 3 times (never a great sign). How does the current batch of D Los Altos (NOM 1529) taste? Watch & see! D Los Altos has always been an inexpensive surprise. It was a great treat to taste such a stunning blanco for such a cheap price. Your Tequila Whisperer is happy to report that the brand is still quite inexpensive and is easily the best representation of this juice since the original bottling 10+ years ago. The blanco presents a thick, streamy gob of wetness that feels damp and musty. Look for a thick swath of caramelized yam (agave) flavors to compliment the wet, “mop-like” flavors in this blanco! Nice sweet-heat finish, too. Though Lippy originally described the taste as overall balanced, he came to find it a bit too one-dimensional for more than one glass during an overall tasting session. The reposado was generally the biggest disappointment of all the age varietals. While the 9 months in American oak added a bit of sweetness, Th’ Lip noticed a distinct toning down of most of the flavor profiles which made the blanco so interesting. Don’t look for dampness or thick gobs of roasted agave here. Ultimately described as “flaccid”, the repo could have used more time in wood. The anejo brought forth the promise that the repo never lived up to. Aged 18 months in American oak, the anejo brought the complication of vanilla bean and coconut on the nose. Ultimately the anejo became a bit cloying in its aged spice attack and was relegated to 2nd place. Vita-Charge update: If you’ve watched the episode, you’ll know that Lippy tried a new product which purports to stop hang-overs and leave the drinker feeling energized in the morning.

Unable to stop grinning the entire time, Th’ Lip fulfills a personal goal of hosting Sr. Camarena in the Man-Cave. Get out your pencils & paper because you WILL want to take notes. Carlos covers topics as diverse as how close to “shave” an agave pina to “swimming” in the fermentation tanks (a Lippy fantasy). All of your questions about the different brands that Carlos creates are answered, and if not, there is information about how to reach Carlos and ask him yourself! It’s a “Tequila Creation 101” Master Class and the tuition is Free! Lippy was elated to finally sip from his “Original Gangsta’” bottle of El Tesoro blanco (circa 1985!) with the man who made it. This particular bottle is your Tequila Whisperer’s all-time favorite tequila, so it was a privilege to be able to finish the bottle with Carlos and talk about its particular characteristics. Sr. Camarena also covers the process of distillation and reveals the secrets of how he ages his tequilas – a particularly stellar talent which raises his tequilas above and beyond most other products on the market. You’ll also learn about the provenance of the masterful “El Tesoro 70th Anniversario” 7-year extra anejo and even hear about a possible 75th Anniversary bottling of some “forgotten” tequila currently aging somewhere in Carlos’ barrel room. Oh, to be able to walk through that room with a hammer, chisel, and a glass! It’s all here for the taking, Friends!

And for this smackdown, Th’ Lip tried yet ANOTHER tack in attempting to dethrone the unstoppable El Ultimo Agave reposado: How about slipping in a brand which has never before been tasted on the Tequila Whisperer Show? That brand, El Jimador reposado, is the lowest cost entry-level tequila from the mighty Hacienda Herradura family of tequilas! Take THAT, El Ultimo Agave! Lippy Double-Teamed the El Jimador with Agavales repo, another super low-cost favorite from a few shows ago. Your Tequila Whisperer is pulling no punches in his efforts to find another champion to take the place of El Ultimo Agave and present the most worthy repo for under $20! Will this combination finally yield a conquering winner? Watch and see! CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE NOTES: Your Lip was itching for a real upset in this Bargain Battle. It’s no secret that he’s getting a bit bored with El Ultimo Agave’s (NOM 1522) sweet attack and spicy alcohol spike load that persists all over the mid palate. This repo has very high peaks and low valleys. It commands a lot of “tongue attention’ and refuses to become anonymous in the mouth. Ultimately this bold flavor statement is what turned the tide for Th’ Lip in EUA’s favor. It’s an inexpensive reposado that refuses to be ignored, and you gotta give it credit for that mix. The El Jimador brought a surprisingly mellow flavor and nose to the taste party. There is a nice melding of sweet vanilla wisps with a modicum of wood presented, but generally, the flavors have been so balanced and turned down that there isn’t a whole lot to love. When compared to Herradura’s next level up, the Antiguo repo, El Jimador pales considerably. There just isn’t much “there” there. Agavales started strong on the nose with a deeper, smokier olfactory offering. But upon tasting, Lip found it as toned down and bland as the El Jimador. In fact a taste–off between those two would find the Taster having a very difficult time telling them apart. Eventually the Agavales opened up a bit in the glass and presented a slight and pleasing coconut side-wall flavor, and that was enough to elevate it above the El Jimador (barely). Still, if you’re looking for a very inexpensive reposado (even cheaper than El Ultimo Agave), Agavales should be your choice. Da Winnah and STILL Champeen: El Ultimo Agave reposado !! – Yayyy!!

Th’ Lip is taking you through a black-lit journey back to the heart of the mid-70’s as he reminisces and tastes Antiguo, Herradura’s mid-priced line of 100% de agave tequilas. For 125 years Antiguo reposado was a closely guarded, unreleased formulation saved strictly for friends and family of Hacienda Herradura. Then in 2009 they opened up the brand to the U.S. and formulated a blanco and anejo to round out the line. How does this lower-priced variant stand up against the more expensive Herradura “standard” line? And does it stand on its own at all? Watch this nostalgic episode and all will be revealed. “You see it’s all clear.. You were MEANT to be here”! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: ANTIGUO NOM: 1119 AGAVE SOURCE: TEQUILA VALLEY GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Antiguo was always formulated to have a lighter touch than Herradura’s standard line of premium tequilas. And it does live up to that reputation – In the best possible way. The blanco brings a lot of hearty spice and isn’t shy about presenting the heat. What your Tequila Whisperer found immediately likeable was the lack of a sweet ‘pineapple” center that the standard Herradura blanco forces upon the palate. On the contrary, Antiguo’s blanco (and all of the Antiguo line) has a fresh and clean light feel that speaks of its Valley heritage. The reposado adds a thin load of sweet wood to the bottom of the flavor plank, and though it lacks a solid finish, the lighter touch still manages a sparking tang of alcohol. This combination of a lighter flavor coupled with the sweet spike of alcohol makes this repo a magnificent “party tequila”– able to do double duty as a sipper (especially for newbies and ladies looking for a pleasing introduction) or as a mixer in a Paloma or Margarita. Here’s a repo for less than $30 that you can drink ALL NIGHT. The anejo brought about more complex wood flavors, though without the sparkling spike of alcohol. Th’ lip found this anejo a bit “flaccid”. It’s a fine anejo for those liking a sweet touch without a lot of aggressive interest. But ultimately it was a bit too soft and not interesting enough for a second glass.

TEQUILA Details: BRAND: BALUARTE NOM: 1465 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Like a shining shard of black onyx found on the Jaliscan desert floor, Baluarte tequila delivers a bright tingle of pure highlands spice with major agave and some spiky heat. Th’ Lip singled out the reposado as a great “social tequila”. This age will be great for bringing to parties and conversing with a special someone in the kitchen or on the couch(!) It’s got a wonderful black pepper note which floats above the “smiling wood” bottom end while maintaining the heat and spice of the blanco. This is one easy drinking repo with a great balance of close-flavors. You’ll be drinking half the bottle before you realize how much is gone! The blanco strips the wood away and leaves the palate in a brighter, sharper, grip of highlands sweet spice and heat. Look for a really long-lasting finish and a wonderful mouthfeel that is at once light and fiery. While BOTH ages were completely pleasing and made your TEQUILA WHISPERER smile wide, it was the blanco which slightly edged out the repo which after a bit of sustained sipping seemed just a hair flaccid compared to the blanco.

The “Comisario” (high Commissioner) will see you now. So straighten up that line, DRINKER! Shine those shoes to a high-gloss sheen and enter the office of some rarefied & spicy highlands tequila! In this episode, Th’ Lip tastes all ages of this new highlands tequila and finds his inner spice-master completely pleased down deep in the throat! What the F*&%K does THAT mean? Well, watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: COMISARIO NOM: 1529 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Comisario will take you on a heated “Spice-ride” through all three ages of this highlands tequila. The blanco features a wide-in-the-mouth flavor profile which hints at caramelized sugar on the bottom note and a high spicy tang on the top. But its boldest flavor feature is the L O N G lasting throat finish that slowly warms up and drips into the bottom of the neck MINUTES after a sip. It’s quite a nice feeling and something that truly differentiates this tequila from other highlands brands and also other tequilas made at the same distillery (1529). The repo maintains the high-heat spice of the blanco with just a touch of sweet oak replacing the caramelized sugar on the bottom note. This light wood touch is likely due to it being only aged 7 months in Jack Daniels oak barrels. Not a bad repo, but ultimately a bit too close to the blanco to warrant the price hike. The repo WOULD make a great Margarita mixer however, given that it still maintains its heat. That would come shining through a mixed drink. The anejo fulfills the promise that the repo never quite manages to complete. There is a welcome bottom-end to the flavor which gives the anejo and overall feeling of richness with an accent on the deeper spice component. Also – the anejo has a neat trick of finishing with a sweet buttercream note on the FRONT palate (hard to do) as well as maintaining the heat and the warm throat-drip finish. It was a tough decision to pick the recommended buy between the blanco and the anejo, but given all factors (including the price) your Tequila Whisperer had to ultimately give the nod to the blanco. Don’t count out that anejo, however. It’s a solid sip with a lot to recommend! No license (All rights reserved) searchonly Ten-Hutt!! The “Comisario” (high Commissioner) will see you now. So straighten up that line, DRINKER! Shine those shoes to a high-gloss sheen and enter the office of some rarefied & spicy highlands tequila! In this episode, Th’ Lip tastes all ages of this new highlands tequila and finds his inner spice-master completely pleased down deep in the throat! What the F*&%K does THAT mean? Well, watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: COMISARIO NOM: 1529 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: Comisario will take you on a heated “Spice-ride” through all three ages of this highlands tequila. The blanco features a wide-in-the-mouth flavor profile which hints at caramelized sugar on the bottom note and a high spicy tang on the top. But its boldest flavor feature is the L O N G lasting throat finish that slowly warms up and drips into the bottom of the neck MINUTES after a sip. It’s quite a nice feeling and something that truly differentiates this tequila from other highlands brands and also other tequilas made at the same distillery (1529). The repo maintains the high-heat spice of the blanco with just a touch of sweet oak replacing the caramelized sugar on the bottom note. This light wood touch is likely due to it being only aged 7 months in Jack Daniels oak barrels. Not a bad repo, but ultimately a bit too close to the blanco to warrant the price hike. The repo WOULD make a great Margarita mixer however, given that it still maintains its heat. That would come shining through a mixed drink. The anejo fulfills the promise that the repo never quite manages to complete. There is a welcome bottom-end to the flavor which gives the anejo and overall feeling of richness with an accent on the deeper spice component. Also – the anejo has a neat trick of finishing with a sweet buttercream note on the FRONT palate (hard to do) as well as maintaining the heat and the warm throat-drip finish.

In this “welcome back” episode, Lippy finds his groove while tasting contemporary bottlings of the omnipresent, Herradura brand. Watch as he slips a TREASURE BOTTLE of pre-diffuser reposado (the KING of Margarita mixers) into the tasting mix and lays down the law about old vs. new Herradura. Also get a “read” on the $350.00 “Seleccion Suprema” 4 year anejo. It’s a high-priced homecoming for your Tequila Whisperer! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: HERRADURA NOM: 1119 AGAVE SOURCE: HERRADURA ESTATE-GROWN (from JALISO, NYARIT, and GUANAJUATO) GENERAL TASTING NOTES: All the ages of the current bottling of Herradura contain a central taste of candied pineapple with an essence of green apple. This can be a pleasing addition for those who like a sweet center to their tequilas. Lippy could identify small “nods” to this flavor in the older TREASURE BOTTLE of reposado (from 2000) that he used as a comparison “control”. The difference was HUGE, however, as the new bottles featured this flavor very much in the front/top of the taste and not wholly integrated into the entire flavor “ball”. Rather, this sweet confection seemed to always ride above the more traditional agave taste and never quite mixed in as an integrated whole. Compared to the new bottling, the older reposado had a completely “round” taste where all of the flavors were extremely balanced and brought forth loads of fruit, banana and especially sweet agave. It was completely pleasing and lived up to its treasure reputation. Of the newest bottlings, the anejo was the most balanced and mostly held the pineapple in check as it brought forth a welcomed “bottom end” weight to the flavor profile. The Seleccion Suprema had a much closer relationship to the older repo than any of the new bottlings. It’s a huge slather of thick hazelnut, vanilla, and caramel that is nicely balanced and contains a finish that lasts a long time in mid-throat. Too bad the bottle is so expensive – but your Tequila Whisperer recommends that you buy a shot at a local watering hole – and if you find it pleases you (as it does him) you should probably spring for a bottle. It’s a singular taste and will become a respected member of your bar!

Senior owns “Rick’s Wine Cellar” in Corte Madera, Calif., and has many years of experience in pairing the proper Wine or Spirit to its optimal glass. This time, Th’ Lip has asked Senior to bring his thousands of vessels to the Man-Cave in an effort to find the zenith glass for a very special tequila: “El Tesoro 70th Anniversario” 7 year anejo! What they conclude will shock and amaze you—it certainly did to your Tequila Whisperer! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: EL TESORO 70TH ANNIVERSARIO 7-YEAR ANEJO NOM: 1139 AGAVE SOURCE: ARANDAS,JALISCO - HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: For one the few (possibly the only?) times in the history of the Tequila Whisperer Show, your Lip is unable to break down the flavor profile of a featured tequila! It is simply too complex and at the same time completely integrated. El Tesoro 70th Anniversario is an outstanding and singular tequila. It’s difficult to over-praise this masterful juice. Take one sniff and you can only say, “Ahhh, El Tesoro”. As singular as El Tesoro is in all of its “basic ages”, this extra-extra anejo (new category?) is that singular taste-smell PLUS. You’ll garner all of the flavor details of ET’s regular anejo (agave, spice, floral, thick layers of sweet nut) but add a side slather of hazelnut and almond and you only start to begin to describe the rich and full flavor sensations. It’s a bona fide LIFE-CHANGER as called by Th’ Lip, and worth just about any price you will pay for it. Finding the glassware to best present and compliment this mighty tequila was the goal that Lippy & Senior set for themselves. Using the basic Riedel “Overture” tequila glass as their “control” vessel, they engaged glass shape after glass shape with mixed results: The wide-mouthed beauty glasses presented too strong an alcohol cloud. And the smaller, focused cordial glasses concentrated the sweetness of the El Tesoro but left out a whole side wall of agave spice. Time after time the Overture came up the winner with its concentration of sweetness on the nose and its presentation of the widest variety of flavors on the palate. Just when looked as if their search would only lead them back to their starting point, your intrepid tasters stumbled (by chance) upon the ONE glass which would shatter the mighty Overture’s reign as king of the tequila glassware: the RIEDEL Vinum Tasting Glass!

Which repo in the battle will rise to the level of allowing itself to be used in this classic cocktail? Yes we’re all aware of El Ultimo Agave’s prowess as a Master Agavero in these challenges, but there’s no discounting the mighty Hornitos brand from the house of Sauza. It was their first “puro” (100% agave) product, and they have a lot of history and pride to defend here. Will the mighty El Ultimo FINALLY meet his match? Watch and see! CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE NOTES: Th’ Lip approached this challenge with a completely open mind and a hankerin’ for an upset in the making. Unfortunately the predictable became reality. The mighty El Ultimo agave reposado (NOM 1522) brings SO MUCH agave flavor to the taste party that it’s a damned DIFFICULT repo to defeat. Hornitos reposado (NOM 1102) featured a VERY strong hit of black pepper in the nose. Perhaps the strongest pepper smell that Lippy has ever experienced in a tequila. Unfortunately it was paired with a strange banana tropical fruit sidekick that grew stronger in the mix as the repo was allowed to open up in the glass. The Chimayo (NOM 1529) featured some outrageous alcohol burn and heat, prompting your TEQUILA WHISPERER to pronounce it completely off-limits to the newbie ladies in the crowd. As for an agave presence..keep looking. And if you EVER find it, call Th’ Lip. As promised the winner of the battle (El Ultimo) was the tequila of choice for the Paloma-making segment of the show. Watch in awe as Lippy makes it through 4 knife slices without injuring himself! Thanks to some great prompting from the live viewing audience, Th’ Lip fixes his rookie mistake(s) and remembers to squeeze that all-important lime half onto the top of the “finished” drink. Saved! And it’s all for your edutainment, dear viewer. Enjoy! Got a suggestion for an under $20 reposado that could conceivable BEAT El Ultimo Agave? Comment below!

Then hitch up yer “git-along” and take a spicy hot ride through the Tequila Valley on the back of one truly SOLID brand, Don Fulano. Th’ Lip steps back, adjusts his belt (belly), and looks this mighty brand straight in the eye – kinda like a gunfight in the old West. Don Fulano was one of the first “gourmet” brands to ride into town on the initial wave of tequila goodness that started around the Millennium. Now 10 years down the line, how does this brand hold up to the scrutiny that is the TEQUILA WHISPERER? Watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: DON FULANO NOM: 1146 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: From the hewn hand-blown glass bottles (with gorgeous “color fades”) to the hand-crafted juice contained within, Don Fulano is a brand that demonstrates a commitment to quality throughout the product line. This is one of the flagship brands from the large NOM 1146 distillery located right in the heart of the town of Tequila. Your Tequila Whisperer has actually visited this distillery and has seen the massive column still where Don Fulano is made. The blanco is wild combination of heat and spice with full rich notes of caramelized agave. The nose brings a touch of olive brine and mint, and the mouth feel is wonderfully oily and crisp. The “Fuerte” variant of the blanco (at 100-proof!) features the same flavor components as the 80-proof blanco, but brings forth even more green agave along with the expected extra spiky alcohol heat. This over-proofed blanco is an excellent choice for mixing with a small amount of lime and just a touch of agave nectar to make a superb Margarita! The reposado continues most of the flavor notes and feel of the blanco while adding a more floral nose that reminded Th’ Lip of an old girlfriend(!) The French Oak barrels used in aging add some cherry and a hint of chocolate to the taste combinations. The anejo is aged close to 3 years in new and used French Oak barrels making this an almost “Extra Anejo”. Lippy fond a true promise fulfilled in the anejo as the fudgy flavors of the barrel played side by side with the rich agave and honey notes (still present and available in the 3-year!). Quite a feat. The Imperial, aged 5 years in new French Oak barrels, took a turn on the flavor highway. It presented what Th’ Lip calls, “cologne spice” to the flavor play. This additional flavor was quite masterfully held in check by the added notes of cinnamon and almond. Overall a very pleasing combination of “tequila dessert”! RECOMMENDED BUYS: DON FULANO Fuerte Blanco, Anejo, Imperial No license (All rights reserved) searchonly Are you ready to taste a Modern-Day classic? Then hitch up yer “git-along” and take a spicy hot ride through the Tequila Valley on the back of one truly SOLID brand, Don Fulano. Th’ Lip steps back, adjusts his belt (belly), and looks this mighty brand straight in the eye – kinda like a gunfight in the old West. Don Fulano was one of the first “gourmet” brands to ride into town on the initial wave of tequila goodness that started around the Millennium. Now 10 years down the line, how does this brand hold up to the scrutiny that is the TEQUILA WHISPERER? Watch and see! TEQUILA Details: BRAND: DON FULANO NOM: 1146 AGAVE SOURCE: HIGHLANDS GENERAL TASTING NOTES: From the hewn hand-blown glass bottles (with gorgeous “color fades”) to the hand-crafted juice contained within, Don Fulano is a brand that demonstrates a commitment to quality throughout the product line. This is one of the flagship brands from the large NOM 1146 distillery located right in the heart of the town of Tequila. Your Tequila Whisperer has actually visited this distillery and has seen the massive column still where Don Fulano is made.
