Dulce Vida 100 Proof Organic Reposado Tequila (700ml)

Reputedly the only 100 proof, 100% organic tequila in the world, the Dulce Vida tequilas are produced in the village of San Ignacio Cerro Gordo at Campanario (NOM 1443) utilizing a Maquila approach to the operations, whereby the team is actively engaged in every detail, from harvest through distillation & aging. This vertically integrated approach is very different from an arms-length transaction of importing product, or buying liquid from a distillery. Maturation takes place in American Bourbon Whiskey barrels. The Reposado is aged for 11 months and the Añejo for 24.

Tasting note: Clear with a faint straw-gold blush. Presents muted scents of green tabasco sauce, tomato vine and white pepper and a gently tingly, peppery, dryish profile including suggestions of spicy green tomato salsa at mid palate, hollowing out at the finish, returning with vague vanilla and beeswax-like flavours in the aftertaste. Possibly obscured by the oak. 50%Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Even 11 months of aging in Kentucky whiskey barrels fails to tame the sting of this 100 proof spirit. Smoky, fruity scent and vibrant yellow hue. Certified organic. 84 points - www.wineenthusiast.com
