Lalo High Proof Limited Edition 54% abv - Bottle Showcase and Regular 40% abv Comparison

[@robertmyers5763]

Thanks for the review! I really enjoyed the original Lalo until they moved to a different distillery location, and something changed, IMO. It was still easy to sip, but not as enjoyable. Less agave punch, like you said...muted, kind of bland, and lacking complexity. Enter the still strength blanco. My reception of the sample I tried was definitely less enthusiastic than yours. More agave presence? Yes. Bolder flavors? Yes. Individual character to standout among old favorites and the sea of new high proof releases? No. I think it's good, but not memorable like Caballito Cerrero Azul or Chato, G4 108, Tapatio 110, Don Fulano Fuerte, Lagrimas Del Valle, and others I could mention. It also released for almost $80 in my area. It's just not worth that kind of money, IMO. Too bad, really, because I think Lalo's a very nice gentleman, but I can no longer support the brand.

Thanks for sharing, always. With such fast paced growth, this could lead to cutting some corners. I always keep both Tapatio 110 and G4 108 in stock. The undisputed champions consistently for sure.
