El Tequileno Blanco Tequila

El Tequileño Blanco Tequila is a historic and highly regarded tequila, historically famous as a premium "mixto" that stands as a favorite in the town of Tequila itself. Uniquely crafted using a mashbill of 71% estate-grown blue Weber agave and 29% local piloncillo (unrefined Mexican brown sugar), it is copper pot distilled and uniquely mellowed for 14 days in American oak barrels before bottling. This gives it an extraordinarily smooth, rich character that rivals many 100% agave spirits, making it a stellar cocktail base or a pleasant sipper.

Food Pairing: Classic street tacos with cilantro and onions, grilled shrimp skewers, or fresh chips with a bright salsa verde.

TASTING NOTES Clear and bright with a surprisingly creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel from its brief oak resting period.

NOSE Forward aromas of sweet cooked agave, subtle floral notes, light vanilla, and fresh citrus.

PALATE Well-balanced and slightly sweet with dominant cooked agave flavors, delicate notes of anise, and a buttery undertone.

FINISH A medium to long finish with lingering sweet agave warmth and a clean kick of white and black pepper.

SERVE Exceptionally suited for premium cocktails (traditionally used in the famous "Batanga" cocktail) or enjoyed neat.
