PM Spirits Tequila Blanco Still Strength

PM Spirits is less a “brand” and more of a sequence of special projects. This is batch 3 of their still strength blanco tequila, clocking in at maximum 55% ABV.

This nose is fragrant with an abundance of agave and minerals. The agave is buttery and dense. There’s some excellent zest that’s on the lemon and lime end of the citrus spectrum. There’s an earthy aroma of wet clay and hints of fleeting floral vapors. This nose is very aromatic, and it’s hitting my personal preferences. The high proof is delivering some excellent aromas. 

All the notes from the aromas are present on the palate. The agave and minerals hit first with some pleasant intensity. The agave is vegetal and spicy. There’s a balance of spice: white and black peppery with some fresh jalapeño. The minerals are pronounced, but they are accompanied by the lemon lime citrus zest that carries some ever-so-slight bitterness. The pepper picks back up right before the finish. There’s some agave sweetness that kicks in, but the spice and minerals linger. 

Overall, I personally really enjoyed this still strength blanco. It has great agave, minerality, citrus, and pepper. It’s all well-balanced and very flavorful. I’ll be looking to add a few of these to the rotation.
