El Tesoro Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

El Tesoro Blanco Tequila is an unaged blanco made from 100% highland blue Weber agave at La Altena distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is cooked in stone ovens, crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone tahona, fermented with its fibres in wooden tanks and double-distilled in copper pot stills, then bottled immediately after distillation. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, distilled essentially to proof so the minerality of La Altena's soil and deep well water carries into the glass. Per the brand, it is crystal clear, with fresh agave, honey and a touch of green olive on the nose; sweet, balanced agave with white pepper and subtle green notes on the palate; and a sweet finish with white pepper.
