Arette Fuerte 101 is a strong white tequila made from 100% blue agave from the Tequila Valley and bottled undiluted at 101 proof (50.5% ABV).
It is a robust, undiluted spirit that lets you taste the agave richness straight from the traditional pot still, the alambique de olla. Arette is made in the town of Tequila by the Orendain family, who have been making tequila at the historic El Llano distillery for generations, and this is the essence of artisanal tequila for those who seek additive-free, full-bodied flavour.
Expect a big, direct agave flavour that is tasty in the mouth, ideal to enjoy neat or in your favourite cocktail.
A bold blanco with heritage, it makes a great gift for tequila purists.
Blanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
The Tequila Valley, around the town of Tequila, is known for earthy, herbal and peppery agave, distinct from the fruitier highland style.
Bottling at still strength, without adding water, keeps the full intensity of the spirit, so a few drops of water in the glass can open it up.
