Tapatio Blanco Tequila 1L (1L, 40%)

A 40% ABV blanco tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, in a 1L bottle. It comes from La Alteña distillery in Arandas, Los Altos de Jalisco, operating since 1937. The agave is estate-grown, slow-cooked in brick ovens, crushed by roller mill and tahona, fermented with natural yeast in wooden tanks, and double-distilled in copper pot stills, then rested two months in stainless steel. The nose has sweet cooked agave and light citrus with earthy, briny undertones. The palate brings cooked agave sweetness and black pepper, with white pepper, clove, green apple and a touch of creaminess. The finish is long, crisp and peppery.
