• Palate: Alcohol, black pepper, asparagus
• Alcohol content: 80 proof (40% ABV)
• How to drink: Cocktails
• Similar to: Costco Tequila

At first sniff, Member's Mark Tequila has a strong alcoholic scent, but with some time, you can detect a subtle agave aroma, accompanied by a vegetal asparagus note and a hint of black pepper.

Once tasted, it feels somewhat lacking in body, with an initial punch of alcohol, followed by black pepper, the vegetal note from the nose, and a slight alcoholic note.

The finish is short and warm, with a slightly bitter aftertaste, black pepper, and a nail polish note.

How did I review Sam's Club Tequila?

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.
