La Leyenda Legends Club Blanco is an unaged agave spirit made from 100% Blue Weber agave in Zacatecas, Mexico, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
La Leyenda grows its agave on its own estate in Zacatecas and releases its spirits in annual limited editions.
Its label reads 'Los Clásicos Nunca Mueren', the classics never die, and each bottle carries hand-written bottle and batch numbers.
As a blanco it is bottled unrested, showing the bright, peppery, cooked-agave character of Blue Weber agave.
The brand sells through its Legends Club, a membership that gives access to each year's Blanco, Reposado and Añejo releases. The heavy, square black bottle with its silver stopper and minimalist label makes a handsome centrepiece on a back bar, and the blanco sits alongside the La Leyenda Reposado and Añejo in our range.
