Distiller Notes
This 2018 Cosecha bottling is made from over-ripe Highland pinto Blue Weber agave grown at 5,019' elevation in the rugged, extremely mineral-laden caliche soil of Vista Hermosa, Micohoacán, the southernmost region within the D.O. This area’s calcium carbonate-suffused, mineral-rich terroir is evident in Tequila Fuenteseca Cosecha 2018’s fantastically-heightened minerality that beautifully accents the pure agave flavors of sweet, cooked yams and warm baking spices.

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.
