I’ve been enjoying Socorro Tequila Blanco every time I fly American Airlines, but today I’m tasting the Socorro Tequila Reposado (NOM 1610) — a tequila made como debe ser in Los Altos, Jalisco. Handcrafted with 100% Blue Weber agave, brick-oven cooking, and Champagne yeast fermentation, this Reposado proves that great tequila doesn’t need additives — just passion, tradition, and purpose.

Socorro Tequila isn’t just about flavor; it’s about community. Every bottle helps fund clean-water projects in Jalisco, living up to the brand’s name — Socorro, meaning “to help.” In this full review, I’ll break down the nose, taste, and finish, plus share why it’s one of the best value tequilas under $40.

Watch until the end for details on my upcoming interview with co-founder Pablo Antinori!

Tasting Notes: Nose: Cooked agave, black pepper, oak, caramel, and vanilla. Taste: Roasted agave, pepper spice, caramel, and citrus zest. Finish: Medium-length with light oak, vanilla, and lingering pepper.

Awards: Double Gold (Blanco), Gold (Reposado), Silver (Añejo) – San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2025
