Delantero Blanco is an additive-free, single-estate 100% blue agave tequila from the Jalisco highlands, made at Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados (NOM 1414) and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Delantero is inspired by founder Ilia Lerner's love of soccer; los delanteros are a team's forwards, the dynamic players who inject creativity on the field. With soccer the world's most popular sport and tequila's popularity soaring, Delantero Group joined forces with the renowned Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados, a fifth-generation agave growing and distilling family. It is made from single-estate agave grown in the Highlands on the Vivanco estate, fermented with champagne yeast to classical music, the distillery's signature method.
It is made to let single-estate highland agave speak for itself, with nothing added.
The silver-and-gold label makes it a fine gift for soccer and tequila fans.
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.
Blanco tequila is unaged or rested less than two months.
