Siembra Valles Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

An unaged, additive-free lowland blanco tequila from El Arenal, Jalisco, made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in volcanic soils. It is the lowland counterpart to Siembra Azul, fermented with bagasse fibres in open-air masonry tanks at Tequila Cascahuín (NOM 1123). Distillation is twice in a stainless steel pot with a copper coil. The result is an earthier, more textured blanco. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. The nose shows roasted agave, bright citrus, cracked pepper, mineral and cut grass. The palate is textured and earthy, with cooked agave, citrus-to-earthy spice, dates, figs, orange blossom and a copper note. The finish is dry with jasmine and lime peel.
