Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest Excellent value blanco from the fantastic Vivanco distillery. Within the 30-40$ price range, this blanco is hard to beat.

Revising after letting the glass “open up”. Nose: Agave, pepper, floral notes. Slightly vegetal, a little of brininess and light citrus notes. Palate: Loads of agave, baking spice, cinnamon. Something like white pepper, a touch of ethanol which dissipates as it opens up. A little tropical fruit, but very mild. Medium-long finish. Overall, solid but not my favorite from Sergio Cruz. Personally, I wont be keeping this around once the bottle is gone.

Nose ripe banana/mango, agave, lots of fruity/citrusy and sweet agave, pallet is same, delicious stuff from 1414, maybe one of their best!

Agave, citrus, grass, asparagus, brine, minerality, earth and anise. Mouthfeel: medium viscosity Palate: earthiness, agave, black pepper and minerality. Finish: Agave, black pepper, asparagus and herbs The nose is way more powerful than I would have expected. This was enjoyable. I got a fair amount of agave and other notes that I look for. It was something that I'd sip again and might buy a bottle for the right price but it didn't blow me away.

Nose: sweet agave / pepper / cinnamon/ banana/ pineapple/ orange/ grapefruit / mint /floral-rose / Taste: sweet agave bomb! / pepper / cinnamon/ earth / mineral/ banana / fruity / spearmint / Finish: so smooth! / feels like a cool drink of water / lingering sweet and cinnamon taste with a very clean watery mouthfeel that dissipates quickly This blanco is so refreshing and tasty and at the price point it’s a great bargain. It’s good enough to sip on and the tastes are great, but not too bold to overtake a cocktail. Nice!!!

This is a Yeyo from 2019. I nose cooked agave, flowers and citrus. Overall a very pleasant smell. While I don’t get much pepper on the nose, it is there on the tongue. Still plenty of sweet cooked agave. Mineral is present with a touch of lingering alcohol. I get a touch of mint, minerals and citrus The finish has a nice buttery flavor. The viscosity is very nice.

I tried this at the LATF 9/2022. I had a lot of tequila that day so I need to revisit it and add my tasting notes. lote 100: revisiting june 2023 very clean. vegetal citrus pepper agave and a little fruit, some minerality and a little anise. when i first tried this i got a bit more pepper than i prefer. but upon revisiting, I did not get that. it's very well balanced and an easy sipper. quite good. march 2, 2023: tried lotes 1 (YEYOBC01933 4/12/2019) and 2 (YEYOBC02209 170498 BATCH 100 BOTTLE 1822) side-by-side. I prefer lote 100. it has a little more agave in the profile. let it open up!

A – Cooked agave, mint, floral (specifically picked up fresh roses), cola, banana, stone fruit. Very inviting aroma. T – Basil hit me first, then plenty of cooked agave, sweet potato, molasses, cola, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream soda (in a good way, not artificial). This is very good. F – Light spice, mostly baking on the way down. There is a medicinal hint that I found enjoyable at the end. To me, that’s the cola, molasses, anise. Longer finish that seemed to end with sweet banana and cinnamon. Overall – This opened up and softened after my initial sip. I really enjoyed this well-made blanco.

Unusual and beautiful scent of cherry, peach, black pepper, and sweet agave. Very distinctive nose. Tastes of white pepper, cooked agave, anise, and Sherry. Finish is a bit short, but delicious.

Aroma: agave forward with vanilla, butterscotch and caramel corn. Yum! Some vegetal notes. Taste: much more vegetal. Vanilla remains but i get vegetal tastes as well as spices - cardamom, baking powder, pepper, grass Finish: Warm. Mid mouth feel I really like this one. El tesoro? This one is fantastic

Excellent blanco. Bonus points for the price point.

This is a bargain! Clean, citrus, grassy/hay and spice aroma. Cooked agave, spice, and vegetable, citrus, easy to drink sipper. Can’t go wrong with NOM 1414! Updated 2/22/25 - sampled Lot 150. Increased the score by 1 point - may be higher after I get a bottle.

Nice vegetal aroma with plenty of cooked agave (similar to 7L) but with more of a sweetness (citrus?) underlying. Peppermint/wintergreen dominates the opening flavor with very noticeable sweetness accompanying. Nice hit of heat at the end. Heat lingers on the finish for a relatively short time. March tequila tasting - blancos, 03-24-2022

Loads of roasted agave & papaya on nose, really clean flavour with nice mouthfeel. Sharp alcohol burst on the finish then a lingering vegetal experience.

Something about this one just screams craft, artesian, and basic. Nose is slightly green agave with green pepper and light yeast. Flavor is more green pepper, black pepper, agave, grass, and light spice. Like everyone else says, hard to believe it's a $40 tequila making it one of the best bangs for the buck around. Boom!

After tasting dozens of tequilas I think this is the style I love the most. The nose has a bit of agave but it never overpowers the earth, the dill, the floral notes, and the faint citrus. The taste is where Yeyo shines for me. Canteloupe, briny minerality, cooked agave, lemon, vegetal fresh green pepper, and some spice like white pepper and anise. Sweet but never cloying or artificial... this is prim and proper. Plus it's priced around $40 so one of the best values in tequila. I'm updating my review after a blind tasting but splitting the difference. I was shocked at how much I didn't like it this time. I'll do a 3rd blind rating soon. N- apple, stewed fruit T- soft vanilla, cooked agave, nutmeg, cooked peppers MF- thin and oily F- medium and slightly sweet

Good, very easy sipper, but not complex Nose- agave, sweet citrus( very sweet melon), little lemon zest, tad pepper Taste-agave, butter, sweet corn, little pepper on the back end. Very easy sipper.

Agave forward…. Citrus clean taste ….. slight tartness… some black pepper on the palate… vegetal. Good sipper the way a blanco should be

I love the aroma and taste of this Blanco. Agave, citrus and pepper are all present and it has excellent viscosity. At a price of only $40 this is really a steal.

Anise - lots of it!!

Well packaged, nice frosty bottle, good presentation. $39/bottle + tax. Cooked roasted agave, green notes of bell pepper, shallots, lime, lemon peel, citrus, orange zest, herbal, smoke, grass, hay, mineral and earth. Finish medium with green notes, anise, white pepper, and sweet agave.

A beautiful tequila. Well crafted and just amazing. Not complex and minimal heat but the flavor and finish is a total treat. Sweetness with agave that comes through. At under $40 this is a real contender. Definitely add it to your collection.

2019 batch: On the nose I’m getting strong agave with citrus, flowers, and mint. This tastes of sweet cooked agave, mint, cinnamon, and white pepper, with a long buttery yet spicy finish. Really nice tears cling to the glass. 85 2012 batch: Tasted at LA Tequila Fest. Wow, sweet agave really pops. Can I go back in time and find more of this? 89 2022 Lot 100: Tasted at LA Tequila Fest. 87 2023 Lot 110: Tataed at LATF. 88 2023 Lot 120: citrus/lime, light pepper, agave 87

The nose is lacking in baked agave. Lots of green notes, both herbal and bell pepper. Mid palate was a noticeable rich, smooth sensation. The finish is a bounty of cinnamon and white pepper that builds up for about 15-20 seconds, then calms down but lingers for no less than another 30 seconds. I’m pleased with the $40 I paid, as it is well worth the price. If you haven’t tried Yeyo yet, I recommend you do. It’s worthy!

Purchased for $40. Well worth the price. Medium viscosity in glass and mouth. Nose: clean blanco, nice cooked agave and citrus, some vegetal notes. Reminded me a bit of T1 Selecto blanco. Definitely has NOM 1414 DNA, which I like. Palate: mirrors the aroma. Nice alcohol burn in finish. The box says "Sip. Shoot. Mix. Share." under the lid. I agree. This tequila is most definitely capable of being sipped, mixed, and shared. I wouldn't shoot it, but based on it's inoffensive flavor profile and finish, it would be pleasant to do so.
