Mi Familia Flores Tequila Review: Sweet Sipping Option for Tequila Newbies

Rating: ⭐⭐

Mi Familia Flores Tequila offers a unique twist on tequilas, according to tequila expert Neil Coleman. Here's a breakdown of its pros and cons to help you decide if it's the right tequila for you:

Strengths:

• Sweeter Flavor Profile: Features caramel and vanilla notes, making it smoother and potentially more approachable for those new to tequila.
• Good Introduction to Agave Spirits: The sweeter profile can be a gateway into enjoying tequilas for those who typically prefer smoother spirits.

Weaknesses:

• Non-Traditional Taste: Mi Familia Flores departs from the classic agave-forward tequila flavor. Experienced tequila drinkers might find it less authentic.
• Similar Options: If you enjoy the sweet profile, other tequilas like Adictivo Tequila offer a similar taste experience.

Verdict:

Mi Familia Flores Tequila is a good option for those who are new to tequila and prefer a sweeter spirit. The caramel and vanilla notes create a smoother sipping experience. However, seasoned tequila drinkers seeking a more traditional agave-forward flavor profile might find Mi Familia Flores a bit too sweet. If you enjoy the sweeter side of tequila, tequilas like Adictivo Tequila might be worth exploring.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Caramel, vanilla, bright flowers
• Palate: Vanilla, caramel, black pepper
• Alcohol content: 80 proof (40% ABV)
• How to drink: Rocks
• Similar to: Jenni Rivera Tequila

The initial scent of Mi Familia Flores is dominated by artificial caramel, followed by the aroma of vanilla and bright flowers.

On tasting, the Tequila is overly sweet, with a strong presence of vanilla and caramel and only a hint of black pepper that attempts to balance it out.

The finish is short, with very little heat and an aftertaste of caramel.

How did I review Mi Familia Flores?

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.
