Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest I was surprised to find a vegetal & earthy profile in this blanco from Viva Mexico. Fresh grass, wet dirt, green bell pepper, some jalapeño, and black pepper. Not as sweet as I was anticipating, considering how sweet Viva Mexico’s anejo profile is. A great blanco!
Attended a tasting event and this was the only one not previously rated. Very light amber color, considering it was in the barrel for 2 years. Aroma of cooked agave, oak and vanilla. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, oak and cinnamon. Medium finish.
Tasted at Sip Tequila Fest Still getting that earthy, mineral characteristic I found in the blanco, but the oak is prevalent & imparting a ton of sweetness. Not as fruity as the anejo, but I found this very lightly oaked repo to be a nice change of pace. Cooked agave, wet rocks, light fruits, a vegetal element, some light caramel/butterscotch, black pepper with a nice finish.
