El Tesoro Platinum - Old Bottle

Tequila Joe's Collection
My Tasting Notes: The tequila is clear color and has intense floral, fruit, and earth
aromas.  Once you get past the intense nose, you can smell mild notes of spice and
smoke.  On the tip of the tongue the tequila is mellow and soft while having a light
intensity of taste and feels thin in the mouth.  The tequila has a hint of bitterness and
has a low amount of sweetness.  Now onto flavor.  The flavor has intense to moderate
agave, earth, and floral attributes which are followed by mild spice, fruit, and smoke.  
The tequilas finish is a medium duration of flavor followed by a slight numbing alcohol
feeling.



Info on the Back of the Bottle: "Bottled fresh within 24 hours of distillation"



Other Info: The front of the bottle states "El Tesoro de Don Felipe is made from only
mature estate grown agave plants."  

"El Tesoro Platinum de Don Felipe is a true work of art.  It is the only tequila still
produced entirely in the old traditional method: by hand.  Don Felipe personally walks
his fields and selects agave plants foe their maturity and quality.  He is very proud that
his El Tesoro Platinum tequila maintains the essence of the agave plant.  It is a rare
tequila that remains true to its source, yet is crystal clear with an extraordinary smooth
taste.  No finer tequila is produced elsewhere.  Enjoy Don Felipe's Treasure." -El Tesoro
Neck Tag

El Tesoro is one of the most unique tequilas on the market today.  As far as I know
they are the only tequila that is distilled to proof.  This means that no water is added
to El Tesoro, making El Tesoro truly one of a kind.
