-
Aroma (Nose): Fruit (citrus, ripened agave), light oak or wood, hints of caramel. Palate / Flavor: Delicate barrel wood + citrus fruit, roasted agave, vanilla, caramel. The 100-proof version adds more wood, spice and heat/perceived alcohol strength.

đź’µ Price & Availability (Texas Context)
-
Texas liquor stores like Spec’s often carry both 80- and 100-proof versions. For example, Spec’s lists the 100 proof Dulce Vida Organic Reposado around US$45-50 for the 750 mL bottle.Â
-
The 80 proof version tends to list for less, somewhere around US$35-40 in many stores.Â
-
Distribution is fairly strong in Texas for organic / additive-free tequilas; larger urban areas (Houston, Dallas, Austin) are more likely to have both versions in stock.
🔍 Pros & Things to Know
What people like:
-
It’s organic (no additives), which is a plus for many buyers who want a cleaner tequila.
-
Aging in bourbon barrels gives it a richer profile than a blanco — more depth, more oak, more richness.
-
The 100 proof variant shows up well in cocktails or if you like stronger tequila that holds its own when mixed.
Potential drawbacks:
-
The higher proof version is hotter / more alcohol-forward; may not be as smooth for casual sipping without water or ice.
-
Even the 80 proof sweet-oak-citrus profile might be “blander” compared to more aromatic / spicy tequilas if you prefer bold flavors.
-
Because of the proof and barrel aging, price is higher vs blanco or lesser aged tequilas.
