{"product_id":"excellia-tequila-blanco-750ml","title":"Excellia Tequila Blanco 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eExcellia Blanco is a Franco-Mexican 100% blue Weber agave tequila, rested a few weeks in Grand Cru Sauternes wine casks and Cognac barrels before bottling, at 80 proof (40% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellia brings the French tradition of fine-spirits finishing to tequila, born from a collaboration between master distiller Carlos Camarena and Jean-Sébastien Robicquet. The brief rest in Sauternes and Cognac casks gives the blanco a faint gold shade and a complexity far beyond a typical unaged tequila, while keeping a clean, highland-style agave profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose reveals cloves, tobacco and toasted brioche. On the palate, it is complex, with spices, vanilla, fruit and leather, and the finish is long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe elegant bottle with its red wax seal makes it a refined gift.\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\u003cp\u003eTequila 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clove, tobacco, toasted brioche.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spice, vanilla, fruit, leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carlos Camarena and Jean-Sébastien Robicquet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanco tequila, briefly rested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru Sauternes and Cognac\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\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jalisco, Mexico\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 chilled, or mix an elevated Margarita or a tequila French 75.
