Nose: Classic 1414 nose but with more minerality, cooked agave, slight malo, white sugar, mint, vegital Pallet: Cooked agave, minerality, white sugar, vegital, mint, Overall: It’s a great mixup to the pure 1414 flavor you can get in their regular blanco. The minerality and mint bring in a nice contrast to the flavor! A little more than I wanted to pay at $85 but it’s tasty!

Agave Matchmaker Review (Lost Lore Valley Blanco) Lost Lore Valley Blanco showcases the bold, earthy character that Valley agave is known for. On the nose I get cooked agave, black pepper, citrus peel, and a distinct mineral note with a touch of fresh herbs. The palate opens with roasted agave followed by lime zest, cracked pepper, and a subtle salinity that adds depth and structure. There’s a light herbal note that brings complexity while still keeping the agave front and center. The mouthfeel is clean and balanced, and the finish lingers with pepper, minerals, and bright agave sweetness. A well-made Valley expression that really highlights the character of the region.

Here’s a ~100-word Agave Matchmaker style review you can post: Agave Matchmaker Review (Lost Lore Añejo) Lost Lore Añejo is a great example of a traditionally made añejo that still keeps the agave at the center. On the nose I get cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak with a hint of baking spice. The palate opens with sweet roasted agave followed by cinnamon, light pepper, and butterscotch with some nice oak structure. What I really like is that the barrel doesn’t overpower the tequila — the agave character still shines through. The mouthfeel is rich and balanced, and the finish is long with lingering caramel, oak spice, and warm agave sweetness. A very approachable and well-crafted añejo.
