General Gorostieta Blanco Tequila 104 Proof (75cl, 52%)

General Gorostieta Blanco Tequila 104 Proof is a high-proof blanco tequila at 52% ABV, crafted by Felipe Camarena at El Pandillo distillery in Jesús María, Jalisco. It is made from estate-grown Blue Weber agave raised at about 7,200 feet and is bottled unaged in a 750ml bottle. Production involves stone or brick ovens, mechanical tahona, wild-yeast fermentation and copper pot stills. The nose shows fresh agave, bright citrus and a whisper of black pepper. The palate is smooth yet powerful, with bold cooked agave, light vanilla, red pomegranate and citrus tones, plus a mineral streak. The finish is long, warm and spicy with lingering citrus.
