El Tequileño Blanco is a classic highland tequila from the La Guarreña distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, made by the family that founded El Tequileño in 1959 and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
El Tequileño was founded in 1959 by Jorge Salles Cuervo, and it is made exclusively at La Guarreña, the family distillery in Tequila, now run by the Salles Cuervo family. Named Agave Producer of the Year, it has long been called one of Mexico's best-kept secrets.
The tequila is made from estate-grown highland agave, cooked, fermented and distilled at La Guarreña and bottled unaged. The result is bright and clean, with the crisp agave character that has made El Tequileño a bartender favorite for cocktails.
Expect cooked agave, citrus and black pepper on the nose, a palate of agave, earth and grass with a touch of sea salt and sweetness, and a crisp, peppery finish.
El Tequileño Blanco is made for mixing. Try it in a Batanga, the Mexican favorite of tequila, cola and lime in a salt-rimmed glass, and it shines in a Margarita, a Paloma with grapefruit soda, or a Ranch Water with sparkling water and lime. Try the brand's Pineapple and Sage Margarita for something special. Pair it with tacos al pastor, ceviche, grilled shrimp and fresh salsa. With its classic label, agave emblem and wax seal, it is a dependable, crowd-pleasing tequila for parties and a staple for any home bar.
