El Mexicano Blanco High Proof is an additive-free tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the Highlands of Arandas, Jalisco, at Hacienda El Mexicano (NOM 1588). It is unaged and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
The higher proof gives the tequila extra presence and carries more of the agave's flavour, making it a favourite for both sipping and cocktails.
It is clear in the glass, with cooked agave, baking spice, yellow lemon and mint on the nose, and a palate dominated by cooked agave and minerality.
With its bold red-and-black label, it is a standout bottle for any tequila shelf.
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.
