Suerte has emerged as a stable selection for 100% agave tequila, a Highlands providing with a reasonably easy, balanced strategy — and cheap pricing.
If you wish to break free from the same old trio of expressions, take into account this newish launch from the model — Suerte Blanco at “nonetheless power,” a cracking 52% abv.
There’s not a number of thriller right here — that is actually only a high-proof model of Suerte’s unaged tequila. Solely 1530 bottles have been made for this late 2023 launch — a reference to Suerte’s NOM, a devoted distillery that solely makes Suerte. Presumably it will likely be an annual affair going ahead.
Very shiny and lemony on the nostril, this expression props up the fruit seen within the blanco fairly a bit, although it strikes towards a extra natural lemongrass high quality with time in glass, ultimately showcasing white pepper and delicate greenery. The palate is much more citrus-forward — once more, very like the usual blanco — and fairly candy too, evoking notes of agave nectar and, later, some vanilla and butterscotch notes. Clear and alluring, there’s ample warmth right here however nothing that ever scorches the palate; it will undoubtedly make a stable base for a punchy margarita. The end is mild and summery, recalling lemon curd and a bit white pepper. Throughout it’s a giant winner whether or not you’re sipping straight or headed for the cocktail shaker.
104 proof. NOM 1530.
