About Santo Cuviso Bacanora Reposado Agave
Santo Cuviso Bacanora Reposado Agave is a rested expression of Bacanora, a traditional agave spirit from Sonora, Mexico, crafted from 100% Agave angustifolia haw (Pacifica) roasted in mesquite and encino pits for its signature smoky profile. Unlike Tequila, which uses blue weber agave and is produced in Jalisco, Bacanora is exclusively from Sonora's designated region, following NOM-168 standards with no additives—just agave, water, and yeast—offering a smoother sip than Mezcal with more smoke than Tequila. The Reposado variant rests post-distillation, enhancing balance with subtle oak integration. What makes it special is master bacanorero Manuel “El Toro” Chacón’s small-batch, organic methods using copper stills and hand-blown bottles. Ideal for Tequila enthusiasts exploring artisanal agaves or Mezcal fans seeking mixability. At 46 proof (23% ABV listed, though typical Bacanora ranges 38-55%), the 750ml bottle at $67.50 delivers premium value in the super-premium agave category, bridging accessibility and complexity.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Subtle mesquite and oak smoke greets the nose from the pit-roasted Agave angustifolia haw, layered with dry earth and hints of pepper. Reposado aging adds gentle vanilla and caramel whispers, softening the wild agave's vegetal edge. Balanced and inviting, evoking Sonora's rugged mesas.
👅 Palate
The palate bursts with rich, smoky sweetness from mesquite, evolving into earthy minerality and white pepper spice. Medium-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel from resting, it showcases clean agave purity without harshness. Subtle fruit undertones like berry emerge, making it smoother than unaged Mezcal.
✨ Finish
Dry, peppery finish lingers with fading mesquite smoke and a clean, herbaceous echo. Remarkably balanced and approachable.
