Very tasty, a profile unlike anything else I can remember trying. If I were blind tasting I definitely wouldn’t peg it as an XA. I’ve had quite a few different and amazing offerings tonight and maybe that’s playing into my review, which I realize is not very helpful. Like a cologne but in a very good way.

Lots to love here. Aroma and flavor of cooked agave, earth, and cinnamon. This is what tequila is supposed to be like! Love the high proof boost that is the source of the long cinnamon finish. This is great stuff.

Mold in the nose, clean, mineral… like wet stones… some fruitiness. Hot, sweet, grapefruit on the mouth. Some vegetal, grassiness..long finish.

Very nice agave and minerality forward with taste of orange zest, honey, and slight anise throughout

Don Vicente Blanco Fuerte is an exceptional tequila that showcases bold character and depth. I had the privilege of being part of the process alongside Ing. Felipe Camarena and the brand owners, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see this profile come to life after months of work. This tequila is unapologetically vibrant, with a robust agave-forward flavor complemented by earthy undertones and a touch of spice. The balance between its intensity and smooth finish highlights the craftsmanship behind it. As a 2024 release, Blanco Fuerte stands out as a testament to the dedication and expertise of everyone involved.
