Distiller Notes
Produced at Cascahuin in El Arenal, Jalisco. 100% Blue Weber cooked in a traditional clay steam oven then milled using traditional stone tahona mill. Fermented in stainless steel and distilled twice using stainless steel pot stills.
Bold peppercorn and pear skin on the nose, bolstered by petrichor and baked yam; bright herbaceous palate, with fresh sweetgrass, snap pea, lemon zest, and an undercurrent of cured meat and wet clay. Truly incredible Blanco 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.
