Azul Citrus Tarantula Tequila

Tarantula Azul Tequila is a distinctive spirit known for its vibrant blue color and citrus-flavored profile.

Description:

• Tarantula Azul is a blend of premium tequila (made from Blue Weber Agave) and a crisp citrus liqueur.
• It is produced by McCormick Distilling, located in Weston, Missouri, one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the U.S.
• The “Azul” in the name refers to its striking electric blue hue.
• It’s bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) or 47.3% ABV (94.6 proof) depending on the source.
• The brand emphasizes a smooth finish without a harsh “bite,” making it an approachable shooter.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Dominated by fresh and zesty citrus notes with an underlying sweetness of agave and sometimes a hint of herbal complexity. Some describe it as having a floral and citrusy bouquet.
• Palate: Smooth and crisp, delivering a blend of zesty citrus flavors and the sweetness of agave, often with a touch of spice. Some note a mild entry that builds to reveal crisp spice and tart citrus flavors.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing with a lingering citrus tang and sometimes a subtle sweetness.

How to Enjoy:

• Shooters: It’s primarily marketed as a shooter, often served chilled with a salted rim and a lime wedge (the “Spider Bite”).
• Cocktails: Its citrus flavor makes it a versatile addition to cocktails, particularly those that benefit from a citrus twist, like margaritas or a Blue Lagoon.
• On the Rocks: It can be enjoyed over ice for a refreshing drink.
• Blended: It can be blended with ice for a frosty treat.

Overall Impression: Tarantula Azul Tequila is not a traditional tequila meant for sipping to appreciate complex agave notes. Instead, it’s a flavored Tequila liqueur designed for a smooth, sweet, and citrusy experience, particularly as a shooter or in vibrant, colorful cocktails. Its eye-catching blue color and approachable flavor profile make it a popular choice for parties and those who prefer a sweeter, less intense tequila experience.
