Una Familia Tequila built its entire brand around a single commitment: additive-free at every level. Crystal and Roger taste the full flight — Blanco through Añejo — and evaluate whether the family behind the bottle delivers on that promise across the range.
Bottle Specs

The Full Flight Approach
Crystal and Roger taste through all three core expressions in order — Blanco first to understand the base spirit, then Reposado to see what the oak adds, then Añejo for the full aged picture. This flight approach is one of the best ways to understand a tequila brand: you see the house style without aging, then trace how the aging program transforms it at each stage.
What Additive-Free Means Across the Range
Most tequila producers use additives to smooth rough edges in less expensive expressions or add sweetness to aged expressions to compensate for inadequate aging. Una Familia's additive-free commitment across the entire range means the Añejo's sweetness comes from the barrel, the Blanco's smoothness comes from production quality, and every expression stands on its actual merits. Crystal and Roger taste with this framework in mind.
Tasting Notes — The Range
Blanco: Clean agave, citrus blossom, and a natural sweetness that signals quality without additives. Reposado: The oak adds vanilla and caramel while the agave character remains clearly present — well-calibrated. Añejo: The most developed expression, with dried fruit, vanilla, and a toasty oak sweetness. All three expressions hang together as a coherent house style.
🥃 Crystal & Roger's LC Recommendations
For the full education: Buy all three. Tasting them in sequence is one of the best agave education exercises available — you watch the same spirit transform through aging.
For the Añejo: Una Familia Añejo competes with tequilas at twice its price. The additive-free barrel sweetness is genuinely excellent.
To teach tequila: This is the flight Crystal and Roger would use to introduce someone to the category. The additive-free commitment makes the aging differences clearer than in most tequilas.
LC Verdict
A family brand that makes good on its promise across every expression. Una Familia delivers additive-free tequila that demonstrates exactly why that commitment matters in the glass.
Drink To Remember, Not To Forget. 🥃
