Colombia's Fiesta in a Bottle
Aguardiente is Colombia's national spirit, and Blanco del Valle is the emblem of the Valle del Cauca — a state enterprise whose profits fund health and education across the department. The Fiesta expression is the lightest of the range (Fiesta 24%, Night 27%, Sin Azúcar 29%), built for long nights: ILV's own copy calls it the perfect light flavor "para vivir la fiesta de principio a fin" — to live the party from start to finish. The alcohol comes from Valle del Cauca sugarcane, which ILV calls the purest in Colombia. See the rest of the range at Blanco Del Valle.
Tasting Notes
Fresh anise on the nose with subtle herbal notes. The palate is smooth and refreshing — anise dominant, clean and dry, with a crisp finish that invites another pour.
How to Enjoy
Serve it very cold, neat, in the Colombian style — small chilled shots among friends. It also mixes well into refreshing long cocktails with citrus and soda.
