Uni Organic Blanco is a USDA certified organic tequila made from estate-grown highland agave, rested just under two months in oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Uni was founded in 2020 by Metta Risdal, who grew up in Lindesnes on the southernmost coast of Norway and tended bar in London and New York before falling in love with Mexico, its people, food and tequila. She moved to Puerto Vallarta, visited dozens of distilleries to research how agave is harvested and distilled, and partnered with Tequila Las Americas to produce her tequila. She named it for the motto "always better together."
Most blancos are bottled right after distillation. Uni's short rest in oak is what sets it apart: it keeps the tequila colorless while softening it, so the organic agave comes through silky, floral and citrusy, with a slightly fruity, exceptionally smooth finish and none of the sting of a harsh blanco. The tequila is made with no pesticides and nothing artificial, and it has won a Double Gold for taste at the SIP Awards.
Its frosted, diamond-patterned bottle makes 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.
