Lunazul Blanco (175cl, 40%)

Lunazul Blanco is a 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV in a 1.75-litre format. Tierra de Agaves, founded in 2002 by Francisco Beckmann, grows its own agave and handles fermentation and distillation on site. Blue Weber agave piñas are cooked in high-pressure autoclaves, extracted by roller mill and twice distilled in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils. As a blanco, the spirit is unaged, showing the agave and distillate without oak influence. The nose opens with green mango, passion fruit, ripe pineapple and cooked agave, with black peppercorn and hot sand beneath. The palate is semi-viscous and peppery, with cinnamon, clove, white peach, pineapple, citrus and a soft vanilla undertone. The finish carries citrus brightness, lingering black pepper and herbaceous agave to a clean, dry close.
