I know it may sound a little cynical ( or lazy ) to repeat the same intro on a series of spirits from a company but some things are worth repeating in case someone does not read them sequentially and if the same information applies across a product line.

So…

Not really sure what to make of this tequila ( or the line of tequila expressions).
First, it is 70 proof ( the lowest proof that can still be called tequila); second, it has agave nectar added. Yes, points for printing it clearly on the front label. Still, while it does not violate the letter of the law regarding 100% Agave ( which, of course, it is and is printed on the front label ), it sails pretty close to the wind in terms of a mixto designation in the addition of sugars or sweeteners but at least not adding any other form of alcohol.
The result of all this is complex to argue either way – Yes, it is a very smooth and easy-to-drink tequila ( especially for beginners or the Agave Curious crowd.)

Another point in their favor is that they have won awards for being environmentally responsible in their agriculture and production—an increasingly rare and concerning trend in tequila production.

The agave for this tequila is from the highlands above 7000 feet and is cooked in Hornitos ( stone ovens). The water is deep well water (not RO water). All good points. The distillery ( The NOM) that made this tequila is, however, not known or has a history of producing a lot of better tequila. Again, this is something for the aficionado crowd to argue over whether you like this tequila or, as a bartender, whether it fits a particular need is up to the individual. It can be easily argued both ways. The pricing, however, tends to put it in a higher tier than I would agree with regarding value.
I’m sorry, but I must be honest about my thoughts.

Notes:Anejo is the oldest expression of a Tequila, which I feel needs an explanation. It is an expression or term for a spirit that has been aged for at least one year, legal minimum. This one has been aged for twice that long at 2 years so points for extra aging.
Speaking of which, like the Cognac trade, there are a few extra descriptors thrown around for again beyond the minimums for the oldest category. A lot of these are used somewhat loosely and mostly to get more money. Terms such as Super Anejo, Superiore, etc.,
do your research, find out the age, and if possible tast it or read some review by reviewers you agree with , then buy it if it seems worthwhile.

A new player to an increasingly crowded field. It is rather unique for its smoothness and sweetness by the use of Agave nectar.

Also, it is worth noting that every expression of their tequilas meets and exceeds the aging requirements in each category—the Reposado Cristalino is aged for eight months (the legal minimum is 2), the Anejo is aged for two years (the legal minimum is 1 year). The Extra Anjo is aged for five years rather than the minimum of 3.

Appearance: Clear with no faults or haze of any kind, … Nice copper penny color to it reflecting its 2 years in a bourbon barrel. When swirling, the tequila leaves a light coating on the glass. Unlike the blanco, it rapidly forms legs and some tears.

First Impression: It is not the most agave-forward wine, but it is pleasant with no off notes. It has a somewhat subdued bouquet of agave with hints of sweetness, which is more subdued because it is a reposado. Hints of barrel aging with bourbon barrel vanilla and dulce de leche notes. It finishes with a Spanish cedar note ( think cigar humidor smell). It is sweet but has a somewhat short finish. It is, however, very smooth and sweet, definitely a love-or-loath proposition!

Taste: It has a sweet, very smooth entry. Between the proof and the addition of agave nectar, it bears little resemblance to most people’s preconception of tequila being rough stuff! It has notes of cherry, agave, vanilla, and caramel ( from the baking in hornitos prior to fermentation and distillation), with some nice alkali notes and some minerality.

Drinks: It works well, but the lower proof means you need to adjust your mixing and dilution factors, or you will quickly cover up the tequila flavors. Also, the extra sweetness must be factored in. This tequila is a definite win if you are looking for sweet and smooth.

Bottle: I have to say they did a nice and aesthetically pleasing job designing both the bottle and label. The bottle fits the hand nicely, is somewhat distinctive, and is easy to spot on a bar shelf. The labels are, to some degree, color-coded—each one has a different color band to it—in the case of the Anejo it is leather rather than printed paper. It is held on by a thong lacing in the back. This is reminiscent of some premium rum brands and conveys a sense of quality overall. The label and glass give this tequila a premium look and help it stand out on either a store, bar, or home bar shelf.

Other: This brand has several expressions: Blanco, Reposado, Reposado Cristalino, Anejo, and Extra Anejo.

Final Thoughts: Suavacito could be considered an easy gateway tequila for people who want to start off easy on tequila, much like a lighter Scotch rather than a heavily peated Islay. On the other hand, I can see a lot of Tequila aficionados hating this tequila because of all the things that make it so drinkable and attractive to the newbies. For those transitioning from Muscato or Prosseco, this tequila is for you!
It is extremely easy to drink because it is very smooth and sweet, and it is a low bar for people starting their exploration of Agave. I find their pricing a bit enthusiastic for the lower proof and overall quality. I am a bit confused about a lot of the compromises (proof and addition of agave nectar, among others) that this tequila has, but the result is a very smooth tequila that would have broad appeal for those looking for a sweet and easy tequila.
