Mayenda Blanco (75cl, 40%)

Mayenda Blanco is a 100% blue agave blanco tequila from Casa San Nicolas in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced in the Los Altos region, where mineral-rich red clay soils yield sweeter, fruitier agave. After initial distillation, roasted agave piñas undergo a two-step maceration in the base distillate before final distillation, and the macerated distillate is blended with agave miel. The aroma opens with wildflower honey and coconut, followed by cinnamon, orange blossom and fresh-cut grass. The palate moves from almond sweetness to caramelized agave, citrus, honey, baking spices, buttered pecans, baked apple, honeycomb, torched lemon peel and fresh herbs. The finish is medium-long and warming, with cinnamon, citrus, honey and baking spices.
