{"product_id":"don-pilar-blanco-tequila-750ml","title":"Don Pilar Blanco Tequila 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eDon Pilar Blanco is an unaged, 100% blue Weber agave tequila made from agave grown on the highland ranches of Don José Pilar Contreras in Los Altos de Jalisco, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTequila Don Pilar is a small, completely family-owned and operated brand, and it bears the name of its patriarch, Don José Pilar Contreras Márquez. His son Juan Carlos Contreras, the brand's ambassador, describes the tequila as the result of the hard work and spirit that his father, family and friends put into it. The agave is estate-grown on the family's ranches around San José de Gracia, including Rancho La Cebolleta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agaves are hand-picked at about ten years old, at peak maturity, then cleaned and steam-cooked for 24 hours. Fermentation uses Champagne yeast, and it is famously done with the \"Mozart Method\": Baroque music plays throughout the entire fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough completely unaged, it shows an earthy, roasted coffee bean aroma, with vanilla, milk chocolate, stewed agave and sweet spices on the palate. Cooked agave comes with citrus, lemon, pineapple and light pepper, and the finish brings a tart citrus balance with black pepper warmth, without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragrant and versatile, it is equally sublime in a sipping glass or a Margarita. The distinctive round bottle carries Don Pilar's portrait on a medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanco 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy, roasted coffee bean, cooked agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, milk chocolate, stewed agave, citrus, sweet spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tart citrus and black pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don Pilar, family-owned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% blue Weber, estate-grown in Los Altos (San José de Gracia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave ~10 years, 24-hour steam cook, Champagne yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, or mix a Margarita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is Don Pilar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon José Pilar Contreras Márquez, whose family owns the brand and grows its agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Mozart Method?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaroque music is played throughout fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is an unaged blanco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tequila\"\u003eTequila collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Pilar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039718076725,"sku":"VWS_200422960","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-29890.webp?v=1793834634","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/don-pilar-blanco-tequila-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
