This blanco tequila was bottled at still strength after resting in stainless steel for 1 to 3 months. It’s a beautifully bold and expressive blanco, channeling the more gritty and herbal dimensions of agave that are often drowned in water or overshadowed by barrel aging. The nose is bright and green with agave pulp, bell pepper, basil, and a bit of pine sap. As it opens, things sweeten with pineapple, dried mango, and plantain chips, but that earthy quality remains, enlivened with a bit of baking spice and pink peppercorn.
