Casa Rica Blanco is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
The agave is estate-grown by a family of farmers in San Juanito de Escobedo, Jalisco, and hand-selected at peak maturity.
It is made with traditional brick-oven cooking and small-batch distillation, with no syrup, glycerin or other additives.
Its label sums it up as herbaceous and smooth, 'untraditionally traditional', with bright cooked agave, citrus and green herbs.
The squat bottle with its bold owl-eye artwork and wooden stopper invites you to 'step inside'.
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.
