Atanasio Tequila Blanco is a small-batch, double-distilled, additive-free tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, made from 100% blue agave and bottled at 40% ABV.
After distillation the tequila rests for 15 days in stainless steel vats, which preserves the pure, clean character of the agave without any influence from wood.
It is known for a strong presence of cooked agave and black pepper. The aroma adds earthy, lactic and vegetal notes, and the palate is refreshing, fruity and slightly funky, with hints of mint, cinnamon and smoke before a long, satisfying finish.
Its elegant hand-lettered bottle makes it an appealing gift for lovers of traditional, additive-free tequila.
Sip it neat or use it in a classic margarita or paloma.
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.
