Xoloitzcuintle Joven - (show·low·itz-Qeent·ly) Xolo’s Joven is created by utilizing 80% Blanco, 10% Reposado, and 10% Anejo. This offering is presented at 48%ABV - 96 Proof in a 1 liter bottle for just a hair under one hundred dollars. For comparison sake a 750ml bottle would cost around seventy four dollars. Both are great prices. The hue is a pale golden straw with a high transparency. While the color is light the nose is slightly darker. There are several aromatic notes that appear first. It’s a combination of agave, green peppers, fresh jalapeños, sage / oregeno, faint citrus rind and white oak. Behind that initial barrage is some light natural sweetness and minerality. On the palate I first get a fresh pop of agave. The proof helps to deliver a pleasant intensity of flavors. Riding on the agave backbone is a vegetal note of fresh jalapeños and sage. The minerality appears just before the white pepper that rolls into the spicy finish. The mouthfeel is peppery and viscous. That viscosity forces the flavors to linger. The more I sip the more I start to pickup on the American white oak barrel notes. There’s some light cinnamon and then a hint of bitter oak tannins. Overall the nose has a medium density that’s slightly savory. The taste is agave, vegetal and peppery. The finish is mildly spicy with a medium to long lasting. The pepper lingers the longest. I’m a fan of jovens and this one is very enjoyable. You can purchase Xolo direct from the website. Salud!
