El Tesoro Blanco Review
This is what blanco tequila is all about. Its profile is graceful and delicate, but suffers no shortage of depth or nuance. Standout aromas include pineapple husk, bell pepper, and earthy agave, while a sweet streak adds enchanting richness. The lively palate kicks off with spiced, floral notes, weaves its way through underripe tropical fruit, and finishes with a spray of briny green olives. It doesn't get much better than this.
