Carlito's Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A blanco tequila from Carlito's Spirits, made from 100% blue Weber agave at NOM 1598 in the Los Valles region of southern Jalisco. The agave is cooked in an autoclave, crushed on a roller mill, fermented spontaneously in open stainless tanks with no added yeast, and double distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils. It is unaged and bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The nose is clean and bright, with fresh cooked agave, a briny mineral edge, black pepper and citrus. The palate has real body behind the pepper and brine, and the finish is slightly sweet and fresh.
