Mijenta Blanco is an award-winning, additive-free highland tequila crafted by Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero Mena in Arandas, Jalisco, from fully mature blue Weber agave, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Founded in 2020, Mijenta is built on four values: sustainable, community, artisanal and authentic. Ana María Romero, a trained sommelier, brings a winemaker's perspective to tequila, showcasing the fruity and floral character of agave grown on red clay soil in the Jalisco highlands. It is made with only agave, water and yeast; production is carbon neutral, with recycled-glass bottles and labels made from agave waste, and the Mijenta Community foundation supports jimadores. It earned 97 points from The Tasting Panel.
Aromatic, elegant and complex: intense cooked agave, vanilla and caramel on the nose with floral and fruity cantaloupe and peach. The palate unfolds cantaloupe, honey and cinnamon, leading to an outstanding, generous, round finish.
The pink-and-green mountain label makes it a beautiful gift.
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.
