This blanco has a clean and fresh nose. There are aromas of citrus zest, sweet cooked agave, white pepper, and a fresh vegetal note akin to celery and parsley. The cooked agave is up front, which is common among tequilas produced at NOM1414. The cooked agave provides a nice natural sweetness. There’s some citrus that provides a nice zesty quality, and then the white pepper appears. The finish is sweet cooked agae and muted peppers. Overall, this blanco is very clean and balanced. It’s easy to sip but still has some nice flavors.

Rated blind in Riedel Overture. GLASS: Crystal clear. Bubbles form on the pour and cling to the edge like a string of small pearls. After coating the glass, flat wide tears and legs form right away, afterward more defined tears and legs present as the coating sheets away. Quite a few pearls remain on the glass. AROMA: Fresh and peppery, green agave presents herbal and vegetal accents with green apple and citrus notes. ENTRY: Wet and just slightly oily with a touch of sweetness. FLAVOR: Crisp and clean. Moderate agave presents white pepper and fruit accents in equal proportion. The fruit aspect is in the form of green apple and light citrus. A touch of sweetness and herbaceousness round out the profile. FINISH: The finish is of moderate length with the same flavors continuing, and ends in a bit of dryness that invites you to sip again. CONCLUSION: Uncomplicated and well crafted. VALUE: $50 for a blanco puts this toward the upper end of the blanco range, but it’s priced fairly for it’s quality.

ALDBCO24116, bottled on 10/10/24, tasted on 7-14-25. I tasted this tequila together with the Cultura 100 blanco from the same distillery: Vivanco, and, they are similar enough to me that in a blind tasting it would be quite difficult for me to tell them apart, therefore I post the tasting notes of the Cultura 100 blanco below: Aroma: light cooked agave with a hint of raw agave, light acidity, light sweet cooked agave note on the background, light natural agave fibers. Palate: confirms aromas perceived, good sweet & sour balance, hint of fruitiness. Oily mouthfeel. Finish is medium to medium long, light sweet cooked agave with a hint of fruitiness persists.
