Distiller Notes
A rich, complex and elegant sipping tequila. Crafted at Casa San Nicolas, using a pioneering process which adds two extra steps of craft and care to extract more flavors from the agave.
Mayenda produces each small-batch of Tequila Blanco with the aim of capturing the aromatic, caramelized agave notes that are typically lost in the production process. The result is a unique, agave-forward sipping experience with new and unexplored flavors from the heart of the agave.
Mayenda Tequila Blanco is best enjoyed at room temperature as a neat serve, ideally in a Riedel Ouverture Glass.
For a richer, more intense tasting experience, they recommend serving alongside both a raw and roasted wedge of pineapple dipped in pink Himalayan salt. Take a sip of Mayenda Tequila, followed by a small bite of the raw wedge of pineapple, and repeat the same for the roasted pineapple to note the different flavors and aromas that each can bring out in the tequila.
Tequila Blanco, or ‘white Tequila’, is also known as Tequila Plata, or ‘silver Tequila’. Its clear color is the result of being bottled immediately after distillation instead of being aged in oak barrels like Tequila Reposado or Anejo. Because of their youth and lack of barrel influence, Blanco Tequilas are thought to offer the purest expression of blue agave available, with notes of citrus and pepper. However, they can also be quite forceful and energetic on the palate without the moderating influence of time and wood.
