El Jefe Blanco is an ultra-premium, unaged tequila of unparalleled smoothness and elegance, made at NOM 1438 and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Crystal clear, it shows a clean, fresh agave aroma with fruit and citrus. The flavor is distinctly fresh agave with hints of citrus and herbaceous notes, and the finish is smooth with light spice. With no aging, it is a pure expression of the agave.
The heavy bottle with its bold black agave star makes it a standout on any bar and an eye-catching gift.
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.
