Volans Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Volans Blanco Tequila is an unaged highland blanco from Jesús María, Los Altos, Jalisco, made with estate Blue Weber agave grown at around 6,800 feet. It is additive-free and rests in stainless steel only, with no wood contact. Its signature is a three-water blend: rainwater, deep-well water and spring water are each distilled separately before blending. The agave is cooked in stone-and-brick ovens, crushed on a mechanical tahona, open-air fermented, double-distilled in copper pot stills and oxygenated before bottling. The nose shows sweet cooked agave, minerals, floral notes, citrus, black pepper, apple and pear. The palate brings cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, smokiness and floral notes, with a rounded mouthfeel. The finish is clean and lingering, with citrus and mineral notes.
