ElVelo Blanco is an additive-free, high-proof tequila from the Tequila Valley, made at La Cofradía with second-generation master distiller Carlos Hernández Ramos and bottled at 89 proof (44.5% ABV), here in a generous 1 liter bottle.
ElVelo celebrates the distinctive character of the Tequila Valley: 100% puro de agave sourced entirely from its volcanic-rich soils. It was conceived in collaboration with master distiller Carlos Hernández Ramos and craft cocktail bartenders, with one goal: a tequila that keeps the agave the star of the drink.
It is traditionally produced, with no additives and no diffusers, and double distilled before being bottled at a higher proof than most blancos. That extra strength lets the agave hold its own in Margaritas and Palomas instead of fading behind lime and sugar.
Bold and flavorful, it shows sweet cooked agave, cinnamon and minerals on the nose, then vegetal and grassy notes, a little citrus and a touch of mint and spice on the palate. The Valley terroir gives it a punchier, earthier profile than many Highland blancos.
The 1 liter size is built for the home bar and for parties: shake Margaritas or Palomas by the round, or stir a Midnight Magic with coffee and orange liqueurs. It pairs well with carnitas, grilled corn or fresh salsa.
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.
