Tanteo Jalapeno Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A blanco tequila made from 100 per cent Blue Weber agave, infused with real fresh jalapeños. The agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens at the farmer-owned distillery in Juanacatlán, Jalisco, fermented with wild and proprietary yeast, double-distilled, then macerated with fresh jalapeños. Tanteo launched in 2009 with Jalapeño as its flagship, and the distillery is a cooperative of 85 agave-farming families. The nose has fresh green pepper notes with rich minerality and faint agave sweetness. The palate carries fresh and aged jalapeño flavours over the agave base, with cucumber, green peas, honeysuckle and spicy heat. The finish is medium, zesty and has a smooth glowing smolder.
