Training My Tequila Nose Ep. 3 | Can I Identify Spice & Pepper Blind?
About this episode
Can you actually identify black pepper and clove completely blind?
Welcome back to Episode 3 of Training My Tequila Nose, the tequila sensory training series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve my ability to identify tequila aromas, tasting notes, and flavor profiles.
In this episode, I focus on spice and pepper notes while comparing two very different tequilas:
Bramido High Proof Blanco
Tierra de Ensueño Reposado
Using blind aroma training, I test black pepper and clove completely blind to see if aroma recognition actually changes the way tequila tastes in the glass.
This episode dives deeper into:
- pepper notes in tequila
- barrel spice
- aroma recognition
- high-proof tequila
- reposado tequila
- sensory training
- palate development
- tequila education
The more I do this series, the more I realize tequila tasting is not about making up fancy notes — it’s about training your brain to recognize aromas you already know inside a much more complex experience.
If you enjoy tequila reviews, additive-free tequila, high-proof blancos, reposados, blind tastings, agave spirits, bourbon, whiskey, and tequila education, this series is for you.
