Tapatio Blanco Tequila 110 Proof (1L, 55%)

Tapatio Blanco 110 Proof is a high-proof blanco tequila from La Alteña distillery (NOM 1139) in Arandas, Los Altos de Jalisco. It is made with brick ovens, a tahona wheel alongside roller mills, and copper pot stills, and is bottled at 55% ABV in a 1 litre bottle. Release and retailer notes describe a bold, earthy blanco with roasted agave and black pepper, citrus peel and minerals, plus a warm, oily intensity. The tahona and copper-pot character shows as a round, almost sweet agave core beneath the heat. A splash of water or a single cube opens it considerably.
