Amatitena Tequila Blanco Origen (75cl, 49%)

A high-proof blanco tequila from NOM 1477 in Amatitán, Jalisco, bottled at 49% ABV. It is made by Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida from single-estate blue Weber agave from the El Novillero and Las Rosas fields. The agave is cooked in a mesquite-wood-fired stone oven, crushed with a traditional tahona, fermented with the fibres in open-air wooden tinas, and double-distilled in 19th-century wood-fired copper pot stills. It is verified additive-free by Tequila Matchmaker. The nose brings roasted agave, lime zest and white pepper over wet stone and wild herbs, followed by a full, oily palate and a long, warm, spicy finish.
