I enjoyed this because there’s not much barrel influence in this. Nice blend of agave, black pepper, and oak. Lost Lore is has been putting out a lot of solid tequila. This Joven is nice but not sure good enough to buy an entire bottle. I’ll revisit this again soon…

Lost Lore Joven Caramel cinnamon citrus agave I really enjoyed this and im not generally a joven fan.

Nose: Bright cooked agave jumps out immediately, joined by citrus zest, honey, and a mineral edge. Subtle notes of cinnamon, black pepper, and a hint of salinity make it lively and inviting. Taste: Medium-light body with a rich, oily texture that coats the palate. Roasted agave leads the way, followed by jalapeño spice, black pepper, and a touch of honey and soft oak from the reposado blend. The champagne yeast fermentation adds a subtle effervescence, bringing brightness and balance. Finish: Clean, sweet, and lingering. Agave and pepper intertwine beautifully, leaving a vibrant, complex impression that feels alive and satisfying.

Nose: Bright and direct with cooked agave leading the way, framed by a mineral edge and a touch of salinity. Citrus zest lifts the profile, while cinnamon and black pepper adds warmth. A faint trace of alcohol rises but folds back quickly, letting the spice and agave hold center. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium light on weight but strikingly oily, coating the palate. Agave drives the flavor from the first sip, joined by a lively punch of jalapeño and black pepper that builds. Citrus cuts through with freshness, while minerality keeps the structure taut. Finish: Clean, the finish hums with sweet agave underscored by that persistent peppery spice. A subtle lift from the champagne yeast lingers - not completely obvious, but felt as a faint effervescence and a soft, almost vinous brightness that carries the flavors further than expected. Final Thoughts: This blanco captures a balance I look for - sweet, expressive agave tempered by spice that feels deliberate and alive. Compared to their high proof blanco, this carries more edge and character, with a spiciness that doesn’t overwhelm but instead sharpens the profile. For me, it’s the stronger of the two, and a standout example of how heat and sweetness can meet in harmony.

Sweet nose of agave, cinnamon, caramel, honey, minerality and earthy. Smells like a great repo. Every bit as delicious on the palate creamy mouthfeel, sweet agave, cinnamon and light oak, Good finish

Aroma: Intense cooked agave leads the nose, followed by bright citrus notes. Minerality comes through clearly, with a touch of vanilla on the back end. Palate: Creamy mouthfeel with roasted agave at the core. Jalapeño and white pepper add heat, while light oak and cinnamon provide a nice balance. Finish: Long, clean, and warm, highlighting the higher proof while remaining controlled. Overall Impression: A well executed agave forward high proof Joven.
