Review: Divertido Tequila Blanco
Divertido Tequila is produced by the owners of 4 Copas Tequila. Like 4 Copas, Divertido Tequila is crafted at Hacienda de Oro. They tasked The Rooster Factory with developing a unique concept, packaging and brand. Divertido is made from 100% agave grown in the lowland region. The agave is cooked in an autoclave. Once extracted the juice is open air fermented in stainless steel with a spontaneous fermentation process then double distilled. The aroma leads with cooked agave. Additional time brings out vanilla, caramel, citrus, cinnamon spice, and black pepper. The cooked agave entry is joined by citrus, cinnamon, and vanilla building to a vanilla, citrus, floral, and cooked agave peak. It fades with cinnamon, honey, and mineral and finishes with cooked agave, spicy cinnamon, sea salt, a hint of dark chocolate, jalapeno pepper, and lemon.
