Don Alberto Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A blanco tequila from Tequilera Puerta de Hierro in El Arenal, Jalisco, made from 100% blue Weber agave from the Tequila Valley. The agave is slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens, fermented in stainless steel and double distilled in stainless pot stills, then bottled unaged and crystal clear at 40% ABV. The nose has cooked agave and wood with minerality, anise, sweet vanilla and a light smoke note. The palate is lightly sweet, with smoke, olive and black pepper over a mineral backbone, and is full-bodied for a blanco. The finish is robust, with cooked agave returning and a soft smokiness.
