Analysis
This is a 100% organic Tequila so of course the story starts in the fields with agave that is grown without chemicals and adheres with all certified organic requirements. Post harvest the process continues to be gentle with the agave piñas baked in brick ovens for 24 hours, then washed and shredded, open-air fermented, and then ultimately fermented in modern stills. The resulting Blanco is vibrant with ripe fruit that never comes across as being sweet as the supporting earth and herbal notes keep it balanced.

How to Enjoy
The possibilities are endless as this bold blanco is ready to use in all of your favorite Tequila cocktail recipes.
