JH El Torito Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila from El Pandillo distillery (NOM 1579), made by master distiller Felipe Camarena and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is completely additive-free.
The agave is crushed with El Pandillo's custom tahona, nicknamed 'Frankenstein', which gives the tequila its unique character, then fermented in stainless steel and wood tanks and distilled in classic copper pots.
It is clear, smooth and slightly sweet, with hints of citrus and spice.
El Torito is a limited, small-batch tequila, and its rounded bottle with the bull emblem stands out on a shelf. It is a fine sipping blanco and an excellent base for a Margarita or Paloma.
