NOM 1443 | The aroma immediately draws attention with a prominent brine note that takes center stage, accompanied by light honey, subtle oak, and a potent alcohol presence. Delicate hints of herbs, light caramel, and cooked agave provide a nuanced backdrop. On the palate, the brine remains the dominant force, overshadowing the other flavors. The barrel’s influence slightly mutes the minerality, but the essence of agave prune emerges, alongside green bell pepper, whiskey, mint, molasses, caramel, mocha, light honey, and faint banana, with a subtle touch of dill. The alcohol tone is bold but not overpowering, adding structure to the tasting experience. The finish reveals a lingering light minerality and herbal notes, with a faint sweetness that clings gently to the palate. Although I anticipated more minerality and barrel sweetness, the brine overwhelms the profile, making it a lackluster experience.

NOM 1443 | The cork topper is very hard to take in and out of this tequila. It’s a tequila for putting into cocktails but doesn’t have any complexity or interest for sipping.

NOM 1443 | Very malolactic aka cheesy feet smell. Tasted like the blanco. A little citrusy with a funk (rainwater like) but with a peppery finish. Not great.

NOM 1443 | Nothing to overthink here, agave and oak. Extremely gentle considering the proof.

NOM 1443 | Batch 22. Aroma includes cooked agave, vanilla and a bit of alcohol. Flavor has a fiery opening of peppermint softened by a little vanilla. After the initial high-proof blast this settles down nicely and has a noticeable tannic/astringent quality. The finish is medium length. 03-28-2018

Aroma: Fairly mild. I get subtle hints of vanilla, pepper and raw agave. Flavor: Slightly sour. LOTS of pepper and finishes with agave. There's something slightly off with this one. The first note (sour) kind of throws me. It still solid on flavor but could be better. *Blind Tasting*

NOM 1360 | Initially has a strong alcohol nose and taste due to the 100 proof. After a couple of small sips to acclimate your mouth the rest of the flavor of this reposado comes through with spicy agave and some nice oak notes of vanilla and caramel. If you can tolerate the higher proof seek this out.

Disappointed by this one. I thought Pura Vida would add some complexity to their plain blanco with some aging. But it just got oaky and harsh. Higher proof, but that's the only thing going for it.

The vanilla and cream soda aromas made me want to dive right in. Once I did, I experienced a nice long finish with cinnamon and a slightly nutty flavors. This is a nice tequila, but I prefer the blanco or añejo versions, both of which intensify all of the good qualities of this reposado.

NOM 1443 | This one was a surprise. It’s a very good quality tequila. On the nose- agave, pepper, oak, and caramel. On the palate- wet agave, velvety wetness with pepper and some whiskey oakiness. Finish- pepper with agave and the complexity drops off very quickly.

Bought this one at Costco. Was priced about $30 a bottle. It is organic , and had a decent taste to it. Primarily, I used it for margaritas. But I did sip it a few times and found it enjoyable. Fairly plain flavor, and a great price for a Reposado.

interesting high proof, peppery, good agave taste notes, little harsh finish but like it, need to test blanco if it is this good flavour, probably reposado fans won't be liking this cuz it's more blanco side still

NOM 1443 | This to me is a good clean tequila. As I’ve said before the additive free tequilas just taste cleaner. It’s not the best tasting ever but it’s clean. There are no after “bites” to it. To me it smells like what a tequila should as well. It’s priced pretty good as well.

Lots of heat, but dissipates quickly and leaves hints of vanilla and spice.

Im only rating this tequila so high because of the price, it’s a bargain. It starts with a strong, pleasantly sweet aroma, good flavor with a decent finish.

NOM 1443 | Aroma comes across sweet, with a lot of vanilla. Agave and oak are both present but they take a back seat. There is alcohol as well, as you can tell it's a high proof. I even get an almost banana aroma, maybe more like a banana candy. Taste is quite fresh and not too bad. Alcohol forward, sweet, and a little oak. Maybe a bit too much alcohol at this proof. Finish is nice, the alcohol dissipates quickly and leave a fresh feeling in the mouth. Finally the agave and oak flavours show through and leave you with a pleasant taste. Tried at my brother's place, and he thinks he got it for around $35 CAD on sale...which is a great value! NOM 1443

Dulce Vida is 100-proof tequila done right

Sometimes 40% alcohol (80-proof) just isn’t enough. I say this not because of any need to hurry up and get a fast buzz on, but rather that a quality tequila made at 100 proof (50% alcohol) can be more true to the real nature of tequila than one that is at

Dulce Vida is a unique, 'muy fuerte' 100 proof organic blue agave tequila

There are two words that immediately come to mind when tasting the lineup of Dulce Vida tequilas: fuerte (strong) and unique.
