Strengths:

• Eye-Catching Bottle: Presentation matters, and Mi Campo Blanco delivers with a visually appealing bottle.

What's special about it?

Mi Campo Blanco stands out from the majority of Blanco Tequilas as it undergoes a resting period of three weeks in French oak chardonnay barrels, a departure from the common practice of bottling immediately after distillation.

Chardonnay, renowned as the world's most popular white wine, exhibits fruity characteristics and can develop vanilla notes when aged in oak.

These distinct flavor profiles can be detected in Mi Campo Blanco, adding depth and complexity to the spirit.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Agave, grape, orange, oak, vanilla
• Palate: Agave, orange, vanilla, black pepper, oak
• Alcohol content: 80 proof (40% ABV)
• How to drink: Rocks, cocktails
• Similar to: Mi Campo Reposado

The nose of Mi Campo Blanco Tequila initially reveals roasted agave, followed by hints of white grapes, orange peel, vanilla, and a subtle touch of oak.

On the palate, it offers a smooth and oily mouthfeel, contributing to a satisfying texture.

The flavor profile is predominantly characterized by agave, accompanied by notes of orange, vanilla, a hint of black pepper, and underlying oak.

The finish presents a gentle oak spice bitterness, with lingering notes of vanilla and minimal warmth as it fades away.

How did I review Mi Campo Blanco?

I run a pub and a liquor store, granting me extensive access to various spirits, in addition, I moonlight as an agave spirits distiller.

My evaluations include my insights and feedback from customers and patrons and Tequila expert opinions from Neil Coleman who has been for decades in the liquor business.

I also corroborate my views with online research to ensure accuracy.

Our ratings are determined primarily by four key factors: aroma, taste, finish, and value for money. While we do consider packaging, it is of lesser importance to us, as we prioritize the quality of the liquid inside over the aesthetics of the bottle.

⭐ - Poor, ⭐⭐ - Average, ⭐⭐⭐ - Good, ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Very Good, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Excellent.
