Nosotros Chespirito Joven 750ML

Nosotros Chespirito Joven 750ML is a 100% Blue Weber agave joven tequila bottled at 40% ABV, blending 80% reposado with 20% blanco. Both components carry serious pedigree — the blanco earned a Double Gold and Best Tequila designation at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the reposado took Gold at the same competition. The result is an additive-free expression that bridges two distinct tequila styles in a single bottle.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40%  |  Origin: Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico  |  Joven (Blanco-Reposado Blend)  |  Distillery: Casa Maestri (NOM 1438)

Production & Heritage

Nosotros Chespirito Joven is produced at Casa Maestri — formally Destiladora del Valle de Tequila — operating under NOM 1438 in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Blue Weber agave is slow-roasted in traditional stone brick ovens before distillation, and the liquid is certified additive-free. The joven classification here is not simply unaged tequila; it is a deliberate blend of 80% Nosotros Reposado, which has spent time in oak, and 20% Nosotros Blanco, giving the final product layered complexity that neither component achieves alone. This blending approach is uncommon in the joven category, where many expressions rely on coloring or flavoring additives rather than genuine aged stock.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh cooked agave leads, followed by bright citrus and green apple. A gentle thread of vanilla from the reposado component emerges underneath, giving the nose depth without heaviness.

Taste: The entry is smooth and agave-forward, with sweet roasted agave and tropical fruit flavors arriving first. At mid-palate, light oak influence and mild vanilla from the reposado blend create a creamy backbone. Herbal undertones and a subtle earthiness round out the profile, with a gentle peppery warmth building toward the finish.

Finish: Clean and warm with moderate length, carrying lingering agave sweetness and light herbal notes. A faint citrus-pepper combination stays on the palate without becoming astringent.

How to Drink Chespirito Joven

The blended nature of this joven makes it rewarding neat or over a single large ice cube, where the reposado influence softens further and the citrus-agave character opens up. It also performs well in cocktails that benefit from a tequila with more body than a standard blanco:

Paloma: The tropical fruit and citrus notes amplify the grapefruit soda without competing against it. Margarita: The light oak and vanilla add a round, almost creamy quality that elevates a classic lime margarita. Tequila Old Fashioned: The reposado backbone gives this joven enough weight and warmth to stand up to bitters and agave syrup in a stirred format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Chespirito Joven taste like? It delivers sweet roasted agave and tropical fruit up front, transitioning to light oak, vanilla, and herbal notes from its reposado-heavy blend. A gentle peppery warmth carries through a clean, moderate finish.

How does Chespirito Joven compare to Nosotros Reposado? While the Reposado (Gold Medal, SFWSC) leans more heavily into oak and vanilla from full aging, the Chespirito Joven tempers that with 20% blanco, resulting in a brighter, more agave-forward profile that retains some of the Reposado's smoothness and depth.

Is Chespirito Joven good for sipping neat? Yes — the 40% ABV and smooth reposado-blanco blend make it approachable neat, with enough complexity from the oak-aged component to reward slow sipping.

Where is Chespirito Joven made? It is produced at Casa Maestri (Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, NOM 1438), located in the town of Tequila in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, one of the heartland regions of tequila production.

What foods pair well with Chespirito Joven? Grilled shrimp tacos complement the citrus and agave sweetness. Ceviche with mango mirrors the tropical fruit notes. Aged Oaxacan cheese echoes the mild vanilla and oak. Carne asada with charred salsa verde plays against the herbal undertones. Dark chocolate with chili balances the peppery finish.

What sizes does Chespirito Joven come in? The standard release is a 750ml bottle.

Is Chespirito Joven worth the price? It positions in the mid-premium tier for 100% agave tequila, and the additive-free production, award-winning component spirits, and uncommon 80/20 reposado-blanco blend provide strong value relative to other joven expressions that rely on additives rather than genuine aged stock.

Why Chespirito Joven?

What separates this expression from most jovens on the market is its composition: an 80/20 blend of two individually decorated tequilas — a Gold Medal reposado and a Double Gold blanco — both from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The additive-free certification adds credibility in a category where transparency is increasingly important to informed buyers. Rather than splitting the difference between blanco brightness and reposado warmth, this blend captures meaningful character from both ends, making it one of the more purposeful jovens available. For drinkers who find blancos too sharp and reposados too mellow, the Chespirito Joven occupies genuinely useful middle ground.
