Nose: Cooked agave, mint, grass, green apple, grapefruit Palate: Very nice coating, cooked agave, minerals, sweetness, mint, very enjoyable Finish: Nice easy finish, little to no heat.
Surprisingly disappointing for a Vivanco product. Not sure what went wrong here. No real complexity, especially for an añejo.
On the nose, Very sweet, rounded cooked agave. A bare hint of vanilla and melon, a touch of mint. A slight green bell pepper note. Sweet, robust cooked agave immediately. Some tropical fruits, a bit of plátano. A little bit of mint on the finish. A bit floral, pleasant sweetness. Very oily mouthfeel, and a relatively long finish. Overall, Very damn solid, definitely a very good flavor profile, complex and robust enough to be very interesting while also, I think, being worthwhile of sipping for hours. I am impressed. I’ve seen it at $57.99 - $69.99 and above $60, I think it’s a little steep. At $57.99, I’d say it’s still a little steep because it’s competing with things I like a lot more. Still, it’s different enough from my usual lineup that I’m considering picking one up.
Really like this one. Tones of cinnamon from the cooked agave, vanilla, coconut, pepper very nice blonco.
Agave forward on the nose with fruitiness and some oak, orange/citrus then a vegetal aroma very complex on the nose. The mouth gives way to cooked agave, vanilla oak and black pepper. … finishes with fresh mint.
Tried it at the LA Tequila Fest 2021, and really connected with the founders and brand background. Aromas were pleasant and inviting; slightly sits on the sweeter side of blancos with strong presence of cooked agave, tropical fruits (banana, coconut & pineapple). As you keep sipping it unfolds a bouquet of flowers like orange blossoms along with citrus notes of orange and grapefruit, then ends with a slight kick of bell peppers and subtle notes of black pepper. Will definitely recommend as a sipper, hope to see this brand in different markets. Thoughtful bottle design which resembles Mexican heritage with metal caps and a beautiful eagle attached to the bottle.
