Welcome to Episode 1 of Training My Tequila Nose, a brand-new tequila education series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve aroma recognition and tasting ability while comparing real tequila profiles. In this episode, I compare two very different blanco tequilas from two different regions of Jalisco: Valor Blanco — Tequila Valley La Pulga High Proof Blanco — Highlands Using blind aroma training, we explore how Valley tequila and Highland tequila can express completely different tasting notes including citrus, black pepper, minerality, earthiness, cooked agave, and spice. This series is all about tequila sensory training, blind tasting, palate development, aroma recognition, and becoming a better tequila taster together. If you enjoy tequila reviews, additive-free tequila, high-proof tequila, agave spirits, bourbon tasting, whiskey tasting, and tequila education, this series is for you. Subscribe for weekly tequila reviews, blind tastings, interviews, and tequila education videos. #Tequila #BlindTasting #TequilaReview #AgaveSpirits #AdditiveFreeTequila #HighProofTequila #TequilaEducation ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tasting-tequila-with-brad-7100549/episodes/training-my-tequila-nose-ep-1-valley-vs-highland-tequila/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/tasting-tequila-with-brad-7100549/training-my-tequila-nose-ep-1-valley-vs-highland-tequila.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
