TAU Tequila Blanco High Proof is an unaged, 100% blue Weber agave tequila from the highlands of Jalisco, bottled at 48.5% ABV (97 proof). It keeps the purity of TAU's original blanco while raising the strength, which concentrates the agave character and gives it more texture and intensity.
TAU is a tequila inspired by the Wixárika culture of western Mexico, and its label carries a vivid eagle design drawn from that heritage. It is produced at NOM 1414, the Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados distillery in Arandas, in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, and the brand is certified additive-free.
The agave is cooked in traditional brick ovens and distilled twice in copper pot stills, then bottled without ageing and without additives, so everything in the glass comes from the agave and the craft of the distillery.
Expect cooked agave, white pepper and citrus oil, with herbal tones and a mineral lift. In the glass it shows dense, buttery cooked agave and earthy minerals, brightened by lemon and lime zest, with hints of pine and a fresh, minty finish.
High-proof blancos are a favourite of tequila enthusiasts because they show the agave at its most vivid, and TAU High Proof is a superb bottle for sipping and for bartenders who want a blanco that stands up in cocktails.

How to Enjoy It
Sip TAU High Proof neat from a tequila glass at room temperature, taking small sips and letting it open; a few drops of water will soften the strength and bring out the citrus and herbal notes. It makes an outstanding margarita or Paloma, where the extra proof keeps the agave flavour bright even after shaking with ice, and a superb Ranch Water with lime and sparkling mineral water.
