AsomBroso Tequila El Platino Silver

We all know what the bottle looks like. But the tequila inside of it is nothing to laugh at. This is one of the best tequilas I have had. On top of the amazing flavor and presentation the price was a STEAL: $29.78 in metro Detroit. I highly recommend and hope that you can find it for a similar price. Even if you have to pay $50.00 get it!

I enjoyed this blanco.

The nose has citrus, what I've come to describe as a unique "AsomBroso bubble gum" scent that is similar in the nose in all their line that I've tried so far, and a hint of citrus.

The flavor on entry was sweet, semi-oily, had citrus and earth notes, and a really nice long agave-flavored finish for me with very little burn making for a very nice experience which I'd recommend.

Whether you love or hate their bottles they are very unique and instantly recognizable which I appreciate. And it does happen to be a line that I think matches it's unique bottles by a great product inside consistently.

Tasted in cocktail on June 3 and then neat in a caballito on Jun 5, 2008.

AsomBroso El Platino Silver

Color: clear & silver
Aroma: agave & burnt sugar
Taste: light & creamy on the tongue with the taste of agave & black licorice

This is a very interesting blanco that tastes like a cross between Tequila & Ouzo. AsomBroso El Platino Silver is a great blanco neat, though with its licorice hints it adds a little strangeness to cocktails. AsomBroso jumps into my favorite blancos when it is enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Other favorites include at the time of this writing Chinaco, Siete Leguas, Corralejo and Milagro.

Any bottle shaped this phallic deserves 100 !
