Highland vs Valley Tequila Blind Test… Can You Tell the Difference?

What if you had four glasses of agave spirits in front of you... and one of them wasn't even tequila?

In today's blind tasting, I'm comparing four incredible agave spirits to see if I can actually identify where they're made based only on aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and finish.

Today's lineup includes:

Fortaleza Blanco (Lowlands/Valley)

El Viejito Blanco (Highlands)

Elevación 1250 Rosa Blanco

Waikulu Agave Spirit (Maui, Hawaii)

Can terroir really be tasted in tequila? Can Highland agave be distinguished from Valley agave? And can I identify the only bottle that isn't tequila at all?

In this blind review we'll discuss:

✔ Highland vs Valley Tequila

✔ Rosa Blanco characteristics

✔ Hawaiian Agave Spirit

✔ Aroma & Flavor Analysis

✔ Mouthfeel Comparison

✔ Blind Tasting Results

✔ Production Methods & Distillery Insights

What if the best tequila you'll ever taste is one you'll never be able to buy again?

In today's review, I'm tasting an exclusive **Cascahuin Single Barrel Reposado**, specially selected by **High Spirits in Evansville, Indiana**. This private barrel selection was aged for **10 months in American Oak**, bottled at **47% ABV**, and represents everything that makes single barrel tequila so exciting.

No two barrels are ever exactly alike. The same tequila can develop completely different aromas, flavors, texture, and finish depending on the individual barrel, warehouse conditions, and aging process. Once a single barrel sells out... it's gone forever.

In this review I'll cover:

Production & Aging Details

Flavor Notes

Mouthfeel & Finish

Is the higher 47% ABV the perfect proof?

Is this barrel selection worth hunting down?

When I first heard about Blue Star Reposado Honey Tequila, I wasn’t sure what to expect. As someone who usually prefers traditional additive-free tequilas, flavored and infused tequilas aren’t normally my first choice. But after seeing Blue Star recognized at the Agavos Awards and receiving a bottle to review, I decided to give it a fair shot.

Produced at NOM 1589 in Jalisco, Mexico, Blue Star Reposado Honey combines reposado tequila aged 3-4 months with 100% natural honey sourced from artisan beekeepers in Jalisco. The result is a sweet but surprisingly balanced tequila that still allows some agave character to shine through.

In this review I’ll cover:

Production methods
Honey infusion process

Whether it’s worth the $44.99 price tag

Welcome back to Episode 4 of Training My Tequila Nose, the tequila sensory training series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve my ability to identify tequila aromas, tasting notes, and flavor profiles.

Today we’re focusing on one of the most misunderstood tequila tasting notes: floral aromas.

Using a blind aroma challenge, I test myself on floral notes and then compare what I smell against two incredible additive-free blancos:

La Pulga 110 High Proof Blanco
Siempre Exclusivo Vivo Blanco

Many tequila drinkers hear reviewers talk about floral notes, orange blossom, jasmine, honeysuckle, and delicate aromas—but can you actually identify them blind? More importantly, can aroma training help you recognize those same characteristics inside a glass of tequila?

In this episode we explore:

• Floral notes in tequila
• Blind aroma training
• Tequila sensory development
• High-proof tequila tasting
• Additive-free tequila
• Aroma recognition techniques
• How professional tasters develop their palate

The goal of this series isn’t to sound fancy—it’s to train our brains to recognize aromas and become better tequila tasters together.

For every liter of tequila produced, distilleries can generate anywhere from 7 to 15 liters of vinasse, a highly acidic wastewater byproduct created during distillation.

✅ What vinasse is
✅ How much is created during tequila production
✅ Why distilleries can’t simply dump it
✅ How responsible tequila producers treat and manage vinasse

Today I’m reviewing the Paladar Toasted Series Reposado, an additive-free tequila produced at the historic El Llano Distillery (NOM 1109) and crafted by Eduardo Orendain Jr., a fifth-generation member of one of tequila’s founding families.

This isn’t your typical reposado. The Toasted Series explores how different toasted oak profiles influence flavor while still allowing the agave to shine. Produced using estate-grown agave, brick ovens, open-air fermentation, wild yeast, and small-batch craftsmanship, this tequila offers a unique take on barrel-aged tequila.

In this review I’ll break down:

In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, we’re diving into one of the biggest threats facing agave farmers today: the Agave Snout Weevil (Scyphophorus acupunctatus). This tiny beetle has the potential to devastate entire agave fields by attacking plants from the inside out, introducing bacteria and rot that can kill mature agaves before they’re ever harvested for tequila.

We’ll explore:

✅ What the Agave Snout Weevil is
✅ How it attacks and kills agave plants
✅ Why infestations are so dangerous for tequila production
✅ How farmers monitor and control outbreaks
✅ The importance of sustainable farming practices
✅ Why healthy agave fields are critical to the future of tequila

Most tequila lovers focus on what’s happening inside the bottle, but every great tequila begins in the field. Understanding the challenges agave farmers face helps us appreciate the incredible work that goes into producing the spirits we love.

Today I’m reviewing Casa Loy Piedra y Agave Blanco 49, a high-proof tequila produced at NOM 1633 in the Southern Highlands of Jalisco. What makes this tequila so interesting is that the distillery has access to multiple production methods, yet for this release they chose a traditional approach focused on flavor and character.

This tequila is made using stone brick ovens, tahona extraction, spontaneous open-air fermentation with fibers, deep well water, and double distillation in copper pot stills before being bottled at a bold 49% ABV (98 proof).

I also had the opportunity to meet Luis Loy in Guadalajara during my 2025 trip to Mexico. We spent time tasting tequila, discussing the project, and talking about the vision behind Casa Loy. After seeing the passion behind the brand, I was excited to finally sit down and review this bottle.

In this review we’ll cover:

✅ Aroma and tasting notes
✅ Traditional production methods
✅ High-proof tequila character
✅ Casa Loy’s philosophy
✅ Whether Piedra y Agave Blanco 49 is worth adding to your collection

In this video, I review Uruapan Charanda Blanco, a protected Denomination of Origin spirit from Michoacán, Mexico, produced by the Pacheco family since 1907. While Charanda isn’t an agave spirit, it shares many of the same values tequila enthusiasts appreciate: tradition, terroir, family legacy, and authentic production methods.

Made from locally grown sugarcane cultivated in volcanic soils, Uruapan Charanda Blanco combines fresh-pressed sugarcane juice distilled in wood-fired copper pot stills with molasses distilled in French column stills. The result is a complex spirit with earthy, grassy, fruity, and briny characteristics that remind many enthusiasts of French rhum agricole.

We’ll discuss:
✅ What Charanda is
✅ The Denomination of Origin of Charanda
✅ How Uruapan Charanda is made
✅ Why volcanic soil matters
✅ How it compares to rum and tequila
✅ The connection to Fortaleza Winter Blend
✅ Tasting notes and final thoughts

In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, I put four reposados head-to-head in a true blind tequila tasting featuring:

• Pedro Furtivo Reposado
• Primo Reposado
• Carabuena Reposado
• Blue Star Spirits Reposado

No labels.
No hype.
No price bias.

Just aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, finish, and overall balance.

One of the biggest surprises in this blind repo battle was Primo Tequila coming from a newer distillery and going up against some seriously strong competition. This is why blind tequila tastings matter — the bottle disappears and the tequila has to speak for itself.

If you love additive-free tequila, reposado tequila reviews, blind tastings, tequila education, or agave spirits content, this one is for you.

The new 2026 Lágrimas del Valle “La Mesa del Charco” Plata might honestly be one of the most exciting blanco tequila releases of the year. This is the FIRST single estate release fully owned and farmed by the Rosales family of Cascahuín (NOM 1123), and you can immediately taste and smell the difference.

Using traditional brick ovens, a blend of tahona and roller mill extraction, and mixed fermentation with stainless steel and wood tanks with fibers, this tequila delivers incredible cooked agave, floral notes, minerality, citrus, pepper, and a subtle eucalyptus character that absolutely jumps out of the glass.

In this review, I break down:

• Aroma and tasting notes
• Traditional production methods
• Why this release matters
• The story behind La Mesa del Charco
• How it compares to previous Lágrimas del Valle releases

Special thanks to Brandon Cummings from Altamar Brands for the interview and insight into this incredible project.

In today’s episode of Tequila & Red Bull Cocktail Lab, I mix the Red Bull Pink Edition Wild Berries with Cambio Blanco tequila to see if this berry tequila cocktail combo actually works.

Spoiler alert:
This one got weird FAST.

The Pink Edition features raspberry flavors and herbal verbena notes, and I thought the citrus, agave-forward profile of Cambio Blanco might balance it out perfectly.

Yeah… not exactly.

This cocktail experiment proves that not every tequila and Red Bull combination is a winner — even when you use a quality additive-free tequila.

Cocktail Name:
The Pink Coyote

Featuring:

• Cambio Blanco Tequila
• Red Bull Pink Edition Wild Berries
• Additive-free tequila
• Tequila cocktail experiments
• Agave spirit reviews

Welcome back to Episode 3 of Training My Tequila Nose, the tequila sensory training series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve my ability to identify tequila aromas, tasting notes, and flavor profiles.

In this episode, I focus on spice and pepper notes while comparing two very different tequilas:

Bramido High Proof Blanco
Tierra de Ensueño Reposado

Using blind aroma training, I test black pepper and clove completely blind to see if aroma recognition actually changes the way tequila tastes in the glass.

This episode dives deeper into:

• pepper notes in tequila
• barrel spice
• aroma recognition
• high-proof tequila
• reposado tequila
• sensory training
• palate development
• tequila education

The more I do this series, the more I realize tequila tasting is not about making up fancy notes — it’s about training your brain to recognize aromas you already know inside a much more complex experience.

If you enjoy tequila reviews, additive-free tequila, high-proof blancos, reposados, blind tastings, agave spirits, bourbon, whiskey, and tequila education, this series is for you.

Today on Tasting Tequila with Brad, I’m diving into my very first Arroqueño mezcal — the Don Amado Arroqueño. After interviewing Jake Lustig from PM Spirits and hearing him talk about why Arroqueño is one of his favorite agaves, I knew I had to finally explore this category deeper for myself.

This traditional mezcal is made by maestro mezcalero Germaín Arellanes Arellanes in San Pablo Apostol, Oaxaca using 100% Arroqueño maguey grown at 4,800 feet elevation. The production process is incredible: earthen pit roasted agaves, pine wood vat fermentation with airborne yeast, and double distillation in ceramic pot stills.

In this review, I break down:

• Arroqueño agave
• Traditional mezcal production
• Ceramic pot distillation
• Flavor notes and tasting experience
• Why mezcal tastes so different from tequila
• My honest thoughts as someone still learning mezcal

If you enjoy additive-free tequila, traditional agave spirits, mezcal reviews, whiskey, or craft spirits, this is a bottle worth checking out.

What started as a tequila review turned into a conversation about tequila travel, visiting Fortaleza in Tequila, Jalisco, traveling through Arandas, the Yeyo bottle scavenger hunt, and the amazing friendships we’ve built in the agave world.

• Fortaleza Reposado Comparison
• Flavor differences between Winter Blend & regular repo
• Floral vs savory tequila notes
• Copper pot still influence
• Traveling to Tequila & Arandas

In this review, I break down the production process, flavor profile, fermentation methods, aging, and why Paladar Reposado feels different from a lot of reposados on the market today. From open-air pine fermenters and wild yeast fermentation to volcanic soil-dipped bottles and balanced ex-bourbon barrel aging, this tequila has a ton of character.

I also recently interviewed Paladar co-founder Pete Nevenglosky, and after learning more about the philosophy behind the brand, this tequila makes even more sense in the glass.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Training My Tequila Nose, a brand-new tequila education series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve aroma recognition and tasting ability while comparing real tequila profiles.

In this episode, I compare two very different blanco tequilas from two different regions of Jalisco:

Valor Blanco — Tequila Valley
La Pulga High Proof Blanco — Highlands

Using blind aroma training, we explore how Valley tequila and Highland tequila can express completely different tasting notes including citrus, black pepper, minerality, earthiness, cooked agave, and spice.

This series is all about tequila sensory training, blind tasting, palate development, aroma recognition, and becoming a better tequila taster together.

Produced at the legendary La Alteña Distillery (NOM 1139) by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, El Tesoro Blanco uses traditional tequila-making methods including tahona stone wheel extraction, brick ovens, natural fermentation, and copper pot distillation.

And honestly… this might be the BEST tequila and Red Bull combo I’ve tried yet.

El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave at El Viejito Distillery in Jalisco using additive-free production methods. The bright citrus notes from the new Sudachi Lime Red Bull pair surprisingly well with the bold agave, pepper, and minerality of this tequila.

I also recently interviewed James and former NFL player Jim Bob Morris from El Bandido Yankee, and after learning more about the brand, I knew this tequila would be perfect to test in a cocktail experiment like this.
