Viva XXXII Tequila Extra Anejo, Jalisco, Mexico

Golden premium Tequila for cultured nights
 
There’s a buttload of Tequilas out there and they usually have a certain reputation: one Tequila, two Tequila, three Tequila – blackout. It’s time to change that “nuclear option only” notion. Meet Yvonne Niami, a prolific entrepreneur with a nose for excellence and a sense for giving back. In 2016, she created a premium Tequila brand represented by a swarm of black triangles – she named it VIVA XXXII. Her mission is twofold: taste good, do good; and be premium but affordable. Yvonne’s bringing top-notch hand-crafted Tequila for us to enjoy tippling neat or in snazzy cocktails – like cultured human beings. Forget Tequila-induced unconsciousness, it’s time for conscious indulgence where ten cents on a dollar go to charities that prevent animal abuse.
 
VIVA XXXII Extra Añejo expression is a delightful tippling Tequila that spent three years in American Oak barrels where it inherited a lovely dark amber hue, a rich and balanced profile with fruity notes, a full body, and an incredibly smooth finish. We would save this gem for sipping, but you’d be crazy not to try it in a wonderful Añejo Manhattan cocktail (just swap Rye Whiskey for Tequila).
