Mijenta Blanco (75cl, 40%)

Mijenta Blanco is an unfiltered blanco tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave from the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. It is produced at Casa Tequilera de Arandas under Master Tequilera Ana Maria Romero, with agave slow-cooked in stainless steel autoclaves and double distilled in copper pot stills. The tequila remains unfiltered after distillation, retaining oils and congeners for a fuller body and more expressive aromatics. The Arandas facility runs on over 1,500 solar panels. The nose opens with cooked agave, cantaloupe, ripe peach, honeyed vanilla, floral notes and a trace of caramel. The palate is bright with lime and grapefruit citrus, freshly cut herbs, peppery spice, cooked agave, cinnamon, honey and a saline quality, with a rounder mouthfeel than most blancos. The finish is lengthy and warm, with lingering cooked agave, ginger spice and honeyed sweetness.
