Campo Azul 1940 Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Campo Azul 1940 Blanco Tequila is an unaged, additive-free tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave from the highlands of Jalisco. The agave is masonry-oven cooked for 30 hours, then slowly fermented for about 78 hours in open-air stainless steel before double distillation in stainless pot stills with a copper coil. It is bottled at 40% ABV. The 1940 line honours founder Don Ricardo López's birth year. On the nose it shows sweet, vegetal cooked agave with herbaceous notes and hints of pepper. The palate has fresh herbs and agave, white pepper spice, warm lemon and damp earth, with a clean, bright finish, lingering minerality and gentle pepper warmth.
