Tequila Carrera Tahona Blanco is made in the Highlands of Arandas, Jalisco, from 100% blue Weber agave, at NOM 1610 (Casa Tequilera Dinastía Arandina). It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle.
The cooked agave is crushed with a tahona, the traditional volcanic stone wheel, a slow method that extracts deeper, more complex agave flavour than a modern roller mill.
The result is a bold, agave-forward blanco with earthy, raw character and the sweet, fruity notes of Highland agave.
With its racing-inspired emblem, Carrera Tahona is a tequila for enthusiasts who appreciate traditional methods.
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.
