Tanteo Blanco is a higher-proof, 100% blue Weber agave blanco tequila from Jalisco, bottled at 85 proof (42.5% ABV) to make the best-tasting tequila cocktails.
The extra proof gives the agave more presence in a mixed drink. Tanteo recommends pairing it with light citrus flavors that let the floral agave come through: grapefruit, lemon or simply club soda.
Cooked agave is immediate on the nose, with citrus and a hint of baking spice. The palate is bright and peppery, with fresh agave, citrus, tropical fruit and a mineral edge, and the finish is long and vibrant.
A bartender-friendly blanco with a little extra kick.
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.
