El Pintor Tequila Blanco (75cl, 42%)

An unaged blanco tequila from NOM 1137, made from 100% blue agave grown in the Lowlands near the Tequila volcano. It is brick-oven cooked, with a split crush of 25% tahona and 75% mechanical, fermented with indigenous and pitched yeast, then double distilled. Bottled at 42% ABV, it is an Additive-Free Alliance brand made from agave, water and yeast only. Lowland agave gives a more mineral, herbal and direct character, which the production keeps to the fore.
