Crisp, clean, agave forward Citrus, vanilla This would be a crowd favorite. Can make cocktails, sip, smell, whatever you please. Beginner and experienced tequila drinkers would love this tequila
Nose- very light and clean Taste- This has a ton of cooked agave upfront that flows into a slight oak bitterness, butter, licorice and little vanilla Mouthfeel- thin and watery
Muted nose, soft palate and odd finish. Was not a fan of this one. Tasted with AF 2024 Blind Repo. Revisited with a bottle: Light barrel on nose but unique, citrus, maybe cherry? Palate is easy going with slight pepper finish. It’s an easy non complex sipper but I like it. Upping by a few points.
Rated blind: Light vanilla but muted nose. Some vanilla on the flavor too. Creamy. Easy drinker but fairly one dimensional.
Blind
Overall - "Wow!" Leaves you wanting more. Aroma - complex/sophisticated w/ touch of cherry plus apples too. Flavor - full wood/oak & gorgeous sweetness. Finish - appropriate w/ oak + slight fruit characteristics remaining . . . if anything, just perhaps a bit too delicate.
Pale hay in color. N- very light nose and yet complex. Agave, Elmer's glue (?!), faint flowers, apple T- light on the palate as well. Caramelized agave, honey, mango, black pepper, herbs, raisen MF- full bodied F- long and surprisingly spicy

Please make sure it’s the new NOM1414 juice in the newly packaged bottle before you rate this new venture between Siempre, Sergio Cruz and the Vivanco Family. Very proud of this one. In this batch of Reposado a unique circumstance occurred: the agave slated for production ended up staying on the distillery grounds for an extended period due to surprise necessary repairs on the mill. This unexpected delay, while not part of the original plan, subtly influenced the batch's character. The extended length of time the agave spent at the distillery before processing might have led to some loss of sugars, which could subtly affect the final flavor profile. Throughout the process, Arandas was transitioning from the rainy season - seasonality seems to always play an interesting role from lote to lote and I’m excited to see what Lote 2 does as a winter batch compared the this one. Additionally, for the first time, this batch used Viva Mexico's new Pipone, which was lined with deep charred American Oak. This choice was strategic, aimed at introducing distinct notes to the Reposado, differentiating it from other offerings at the distillery. The Rum/Champagne yeast combination - which was also an original for Viva Mexico and Siempre setup the plata’s profile to have notes of dried cooked fruits from the heat of the rum yeast, then slowed down by the Champagne yeast - which brought a contrast of fresh, floral notes. The cuts of this batch were also quite different and as some of you know - Sergio Cruz likes to play with heads and tails to finish products, which is super fun. What’s particularly interesting is the heads and tails are even separated out and cuts were made to the first distillation also. Even after resting - the additional tails and heads shine through and I feel like In could pull them out in my mind when tasting. In terms of value - it’s through the roof to me as you’ll see it roll out priced the same as the 1438 Reposado in some States as the price slowly goes up and corrects. Overall - very happy with this first lote!

Floral
Blind 1414
This is it, guys! Cinnamon, caramel, oak, citrus, and subtle floral notes make Siempre’s new Reposado an instant classic. This is by far one of the best launches of the year. Sergio Cruz outdid himself this time.

Aroma/Taste - I wonder if a scotch or sherry barrel was part of the aging process. There's a delightful blend of cinnamon, clove, raisin, and cherry dancing on the palate. And let's not forget that initial kick of hot black pepper—definitely wakes up the taste buds! Finish – The finish is spicy and lingers for quite some time. It reminds me of the red, cinnamon candies that my grandmother offered in a candy dish on the coffee table. Overall – This reposado doesn't hold back—it's big and bold, bursting with intense flavors. I can imagine sipping it outdoors by a crackling fire. While it may not be my top tequila pick, it certainly offers a unique and memorable experience.
