Atanasio Orígenes ‘Espíritu Fuerte’ Review
Bottled at 46 percent ABV, this blanco lives up to its “Espíritu Fuerte” billing for tequila at large. So, too, does its pronounced aromatic and flavor profile. Clean, intense, and inviting on the nose, pineapple and habanero aromas meet a subtle floral accent. A bright and intense palate then pronounces notes of pepper, while agave and fruit occupy the middle of the tongue. At this price, it’s a more than premium spirit for cocktails, but we see it as a clear sipping blanco — a convincing one at that.
