"The official Cutwater website describes its blanco tequila as having a "slight grassy aroma [that] gives way to heavy sweet notes of cooked agave and ends with a finish that stays true to tequila's traditional roots." The Jalisco-harvested agave is brick-oven baked, open-air fermented in stainless steel tanks, and distilled twice in copper stills. Indeed, in our taste test, the spirit arrived heavy on the baked agave flavor, with pronounced secondary tones of vanilla and black pepper."
"Alas, it took intense concentration to identify what, specifically, those flavors were. The notes were buried beneath a harsh, abrasive, thin delivery. As our reviewer notes, "[T]here's a lot of burn right away, which is fairly aggressive. After a few swirls and sips, I was able to decipher some herbaceous, vegetal notes, but the alcohol burn really took over every possible flavor that may have been trying to get out.""
Cutwater blanco tequila is a 40% ABV spirit made in Mexico from 100% blue agave harvested in Jalisco. The agave is brick-oven baked, open-air fermented in stainless steel, and distilled twice in copper stills. The spirit presents heavy baked agave with secondary vanilla and black pepper tones alongside herbaceous and vegetal elements. The overall delivery is described as harsh, abrasive, thin, and dominated by alcohol burn that buries subtler flavors. The expression ranked last among 29 popular tequila brands and drew customer reports of bitterness, medicinal notes, and inaccessible harshness.
