Lost Lore Valley Blanco Review | 96 Proof Valley Tequila vs Highland Flavor Lost Lore Valley Blanco review, 96 proof tequila, Valley vs Highland tequila differences, additive free tequila, NOM 1414 Vivanco tequila, high proof blanco tequila. Most Lost Lore tequila comes from the Highlands… but this bottle comes from the Valley — and it completely changes the flavor. In this review, I break down Lost Lore Valley Blanco, a limited release tequila bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof) and made using Valley-grown Blue Weber agave from Jalisco. Produced at NOM 1414 by the Vivanco family, this expression highlights how terroir impacts tequila — with bold, earthy, mineral-driven character. This is a true additive-free tequila, confirmed by Tequila Matchmaker, and crafted using traditional methods like stone/brick oven cooking, open-air fermentation, and copper pot distillation. Only about 2,000 bottles were produced for the U.S., making this a rare release for tequila collectors and enthusiasts.
