High Proof Tequila Done Right | Primo High Proof Review w/ Pedro Camarena
About this episode
High proof tequila can go wrong fast — unless it’s done right. Today I’m reviewing Primo Tequila High Proof, and sharing insights from my interview with Pedro Camarena on why this tequila delivers power without losing balance. High proof tequila is often misunderstood. Bigger ABV doesn’t automatically mean better flavor — unless the tequila is made with intention. In this video, I review Primo High Proof Tequila, a traditionally made tequila designed to preserve agave character while delivering intensity and structure. This isn’t high proof for shock value — it’s high proof done right. I recently sat down with Pedro Camarena, the mind behind Primo Tequila, and we discussed why this expression exists, how it’s produced, and what they were aiming for in the glass. That interview completely changed how I approached this tasting. Tasting Notes Covered: • Cooked agave-forward aroma • Controlled heat with balance • Citrus oils, minerality, and pepper • Long, clean, intentional finish This is a tequila made for enthusiasts who appreciate transparency, traditional methods, and honest flavor — not shortcuts. Watch the full interview with Pedro Camarena for deeper insight into Primo’s philosophy and production choices. If you enjoy high-proof tequila, additive-free tequila, or deep dives into how tequila is really made, this review is for you. ⸻ #HighProofTequila #PrimoTequila #TequilaReview #AdditiveFreeTequila #TequilaCommunity #TequilaEducation #AgaveSpirits #TequilaBlanco #CraftTequila #TastingTequilaWithBrad © Tasting Tequila with Brad =================================================
