Zumbador Blanco Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A blanco tequila from 100% Blue Weber agave, additive-free and unaged, produced at NOM 1643 in the highlands of Jalisco. It is made by the López family, fourth-generation growers under master distiller Roberto López Anaya, at El Sabino in Jesús María, nearly 2,000 metres up in the Altos de Jalisco. The agave is steam-roasted in brick ovens, crushed by tahona and roller mill, wild-fermented, and double distilled in copper-and-stainless pot stills before bottling without oak. The nose is fruit-and-floral with gentle, sweet acidity; the palate is clean and expressive, with refined minerality, citrus brightness, cooked-agave depth and white pepper; the finish is crisp and food-hungry.
