About Santo Cuviso Bacanora Blanco
Santo Cuviso Bacanora Blanco is an artisanal bacanora, a traditional agave spirit from Sonora, Mexico, distilled from cultivated agave angustifolia (espadín) by third-generation maestro Manuel “El Toro” Chacón. Unlike tequila, which is classified here but originates from a different region and agave regulations, bacanora was outlawed until 1992, giving it a rare, heritage-driven appeal with earthy, smoky profiles from earthen pit ovens and copper pot distillation. What makes it special is its balance of complexity—smoky mesquite, bright fruits, vegetal notes, and mineral depth—at 45-46% ABV, earning awards like Best of Class in 2019. Ideal for mezcal enthusiasts or tequila drinkers seeking bolder, wilder alternatives, it stands out in the agave category for smoothness rivaling añejo tequilas at a competitive $60 for 750ml, offering premium craft quality without excessive heat.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Aromas burst with bright fruit, citrus, and green vegetal notes, evolving into aged cheese or salty Oaxacan tones as it warms. Smoky mesquite and oak mingle with grassy sotol-like fragrance, mint, eucalyptus, and subtle anise. Earthy bouquet carries passionate power with herbal and mineral hints.
👅 Palate
Smooth and elegant entry with a touch of natural sweetness, exploding into fruit, green agave, and smoky mescal-like intensity. Complex layers of oregano, pizza spice, celery, black licorice, and smoked meats emerge, balanced by herbal tea, sweet berries, saline, and a peppery kick. Dry, slightly hot at 45-46% ABV with earthy, mineral mint and grounded viscosity.
✨ Finish
Bright fruit lingers with dry, ashy counterpoint, transforming to chocolate caramel when warmed. Lactic, toffee-sweet with short-to-medium earthy persistence.
