Tasting notes
Nose. Cooked agave, green olive.
Palate. Citrus, black pepper.
Finish. Buttery texture.
The reference-grade traditional blanco: tahona-crushed, open-fermented, and distilled in copper pot stills at a family estate in the town of Tequila. Rich, oily, and unmistakably agave-forward, the bottle most enthusiasts measure others against.
