Don Valente

Anybody know the difference between the Don Valente Anejo in the regular type bottle versus the Geenie bottle? My brother brought me back the regular bottle from AZ and I was wondering if its different from the one in the nicer bottle. It was pretty reasonably priced compared to what I've seen for the "licorera" bottle. He also brought me a bottle of Manana Anejo, nice bottle but wasn't real impressed with the tequila. Planning to save the Don Valente for xmas if its worthy.

I have not seen the Genie bottle.
I agree with you on the Manana tequila not being all that great.

Both bottle styles from Don Valente contain exceptional Tequila. What I was told at the distillery was that the Tequila in the licorera bottles (genie) may be aged just a tad longer for the repo and the anejo. I like the fact that they offer both, so you have a choice whether or not you want to spend the extra and have a unique bottle.

Try their mixto sometime and see what you think, Tiquilito UF is 70% agave instead of the 51% most mixtos are.

That was what I wanted to hear Now I'll save the Valente for xmas and will have to figure out something for New years/Sugar bowl. Will definately need something special when my Hawaii Warriors beat the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl.

Go Warriors!

Rob, told me that the licorera bottle was made specifically for that purpose, aged a little longer, and bottled only when it is ordered, so there really aren't any bottles stored somewhere, they are made as they are ordered, thus the higher price tag, but both the artesenal and licoreria bottles are really awesome tequilas....
