A subtle minerality peeks through, reminiscent of river stones, alongside a delicate floral note, perhaps jasmine or orange blossom. The higher proof brings a slight alcohol tingle, but it's well integrated, allowing the agave to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is soft yet assertive, confirming the agave sweetness from the nose, quickly followed by a lively peppery spice that tingles the tongue. Flavors of bright citrus (grapefruit, Meyer lemon), green bell pepper, and a distinct herbaceousness (thyme, oregano) emerge. The mouthfeel is surprisingly creamy for a blanco, with a pleasant warmth that spreads evenly, carrying a savory quality that balances the sweetness. A touch of brine and a hint of anise add complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long, clean, and remarkably smooth for its proof. The cooked agave and peppery spice linger gracefully, fading into a persistent, pleasant warmth. Notes of fresh mint and a subtle minerality leave the palate refreshed, inviting another sip. The absence of harshness is notable, showcasing the quality of distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48302739095770,"sku":"NDC-1785875676267","price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/Calle_23_Criollo_Tequila_Blanco_98.6_Proof_750ml-1.jpg?v=1785949317","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/calle-23-criollo-tequila-blanco-98-6-proof-750ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
