Manuscrito Tequila Blanco Chapter 1 is a high-proof, artisanal blanco from the Highlands of Jalisco, made at the El Sabino distillery, NOM 1643, and bottled at 85 proof (42.5% ABV).
It is made from 100% blue Weber agave, fermented open-air in stainless steel tanks with the agave fibres, and distilled twice in copper pot stills, then bottled unaged.
This old-school blanco is known for its expressive terroir and crisp mouthfeel, with bold cooked agave and bright citrus at its heart.
A sipping blanco for agave lovers, and the first chapter in the Manuscrito series.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Highland agave tends to give a sweeter, more floral and citrusy spirit, and bottling slightly above the usual 80 proof gives this blanco more flavour and texture in the glass.
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.
Tequila 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.
