Hey even if you didn't want to go online, just pop into your local liquor store and buy Cabo Wabo, , Partida, Calle 23 or Blue Nectar. Yes taste is subjective As this is considered Post diffuser 'cooking or boiling', the liquid then gets pumped into autoclaves, which is where the conversion to sugar is made.

They use autoclaves to heat the liquid, which is not 'normal', as it's boiling only the liquid, from agaves which were never previously cooked. The diffuser then extracts the remaining sugars from the leftover bagasso after it has already been milled. After the boiling, the sugary liquid goes to fermentation without the fibers , where Corzo uses stainless steel tanks, playing classical music.

Corzo says they distill in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils, but as this is stock Cazadores product, some brands here use a column still as well, so it could be a combo of both. Between the second and third distillation cycles, the blend is placed in new American Oak barrels to further enhance its vanilla and chocolate notes, which is not something that should be done to a blanco. After this Cazadores 'stock juice' becomes a Reposado, they redistill it, which makes the liquid clear and normally takes away many flavors, but you can still taste a touch of wood and somes notes, and it is a bit softer from the aging.

This is not what you usually expect or want in a blanco, and it's definitely not my thing. In their own promotion, Corzo uses 'code words' describing this process as 'modern tequila' or a 'new interpretation', combining 'progressive techniques'. This is how brands using a diffuser like to describe this inferior procedure, and on top of the diffuser, they do this 'backward engineering' making a reposado a 'blanco'.

This is all phony baloney. Using a diffuser is bad enough, but to then redistil a reposado to a blanco, so its softer and has a wood presence, makes no sense. If you want a soft wood taste, buy a real reposado, made in a proper way. Corzo Silver has a lack of character, is flat and soft and has a mediocre nose of fake aromas, although the aromas are still better than the taste, which I have noticed with other diffuser tequilas. The taste is thin, medicinal, hot and numbing, and not so smooth actually, with a chocolate powder presence, woody and vanilla, and a touch of artificial pineapple, some citrus and nutty notes.

Where is the natural agave? Corzo Silver blanco is NOSE- mint, pine, tea, vanilla, some sweetness but not a natural agave sweetness, soft, some floral and very fragrant overall, citrus, light baking spice, a fake cola note, a pinch only of pepper, alcohol, grassy, chocolate powder and wet stone. TASTE- thin oils, soft, woody, smooth, chocolate powder, nutty, artificial tasting citrus lemon , alcohol burn, bitter, a medicinal mouthfeel and slight vanilla. Thick and sticks to glass nicely.

Fairly hot on the nose at first with faint citrus and little agave. Fairly hot on the finish. A decent blanco, but should be better at this price point. Light aroma of vanilla with a hint of citrus and very thin body. Lots agave taste with hints of citrus and pepper. Nice short finish on the tongue. A very smooth and sippable blanco. Nothing unique about it, but who doesn't like a basic tequila that has all those classic characteristics?

Green agave aroma coupled with a sweet and briny flavor - nothing overpowering. All followed by a peppery and citrus finish.

Sleek, modern looking bottle. Downsides would be price, and the fact that there are much better options at this price. My conclusion is that this is the best "mainstream" blanco I've had.

Many years ago Cazadores was a good brand, but it's not the same anymore. As Florence put it, we found a great divide between those tequilas we liked. Each tequila has its own "flavor fingerprint," and each person has his or her own flavor preferences.
