<\/a><\/p>\nSocorro bills itself as \u201cTexas Tequila\u201d owing to its origins in the state, but rest assured, Socorro is made in Jalisco, Mexico, where it is focused on producing a premium product at reasonable prices \u2014 while highlighting its philanthropic work.<\/p>\n
That philanthropic work is built around providing water to needy communities. Specifically: \u201cThe brand\u2019s logo embodies the foundation of Socorro: agave to represent exceptional tequila and water with helping hands to represent its Case for a Case initiative. As the Spanish translation of Socorro is to assist, Socorro pledges to donate a case of water for every case of tequila sold to orphanages and senior living communities in Mexico. With every sip, tequila enthusiasts not only savor the culmination of meticulous craftsmanship but also contribute to a positive societal impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
Socorro produces the standard range of three expressions, all 100% agave and additive-free. Oddly, the distillery does not say how long its aged tequilas spend in barrels (nor does it provide any other aging details). Let\u2019s try them.<\/p>\n
All are 80 proof. NOM 1610.<\/p>\n
Socorro Tequila Blanco<\/strong> \u2013 Clean, lemony, and lightly herbal on the nose. Agave is lively and present, yet restrained enough to avoid becoming overly herbal. On the palate, the tequila surprises with a rush of sweetness \u2014 not subtle at all \u2014 that features notes both tropical and overtly sugary, with a big white sugar note that struck me as what you often get at the bottom of a mojito. A gritty and earthy quality informs the finish, the agave becoming more insistent, though it never loses much of its sweet attack. Ultimately I found the experience too cloying for my taste. Reviewed: Batch #1020. B- \/ $32<\/strong><\/p>\nSocorro Tequila Reposado<\/strong> \u2013 A very pale yellow color, indicating minimal aging. Again it\u2019s clean on the nose, with lemon the clearest aromatic note and a sustained agave rush behind it, offering gentle notes of thyme, sage, and mint. In odd contrast to the blanco, the reposado isn\u2019t nearly as sweet, though it does feature a residual element of toasted sesame oil and more of a preserved lemon note by way of providing citrus. The finish is quieter and quite clean, with more of the above noted herbs lingering a bit, especially mint. Approachable but uncomplex, the reposado\u2019s gentle profile makes it a solid choice for use as a mixer where you\u2019d otherwise use blanco tequila, such as in a margarita. Reviewed: Batch #1022.\u00a0B+ \/ $36<\/strong><\/p>\nSocorro Tequila Anejo<\/strong> \u2013 Only a few shades darker than the reposado. This presents itself as a companion to the reposado, with a coconut element on the nose in lieu of the lemon. Agave is surprisingly present here, offering a character that is more earthy than herbal, with a slightly leathery bent to it. The palate kicks off with notes of dulce de leche, then showcases brown banana and more coconut (here toasted), the caramel notes finding a complementary spice influence as the tequila lingers on the tongue. Lots of banana and some guava on the finish \u2014 almost like a cream pie in consistency. It\u2019s all fairly lively, but the spirit nonetheless comes across as a bit underdeveloped for an anejo, particularly in need of a little more richness to distinguish itself from the reposado offering.
