Valor Blanco Tequila

New out of the mind and still of René Carranza in collaboration with Valor founder and CEO, Christiane Maertens, with a focus on giving back to the community.  

 

Nose: A faint undercurrent of #1599 funk meets warming pepper and the aromas of jammy, ripe red fruit. Nuanced floral presence. The dusty smell of a dry creek bed brings a little tickle to the nose. Subtly blended baking spices: nutmeg, a dash of cinnamon and powdered ginger. A squeeze of lemon/lime, a pinch of chalky minerals. Nicely balanced medley of aromas, with no one element competing for a front row seat. Flavors: Pepper pops out as first greeting. Viscous agave sweetness next. Aromatic spices follow through to the palate. Tangibly chewy texture and slight brininess. Some florals and honey on the retrohale. Balanced - but has personality and punch. Finish: For me the Valor 42% ABV hits my sweet spot. It delivers robust aromas and flavors with a leisurely finish.
