Volcán De Mi Tierra Blanco Tahona is a blanco tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave, crushed with a traditional stone tahona and bottled at 40% ABV.
The agave is cooked in brick clay ovens, milled by tahona, the volcanic stone wheel that slowly crushes the cooked piñas, and distilled in copper pots. The tahona method extracts juice gently, preserving more of the agave's natural sweetness and texture, and the tequila is additive-free.
The nose offers freshly cooked agave, citrus zest, herbal undertones and subtle minerality. On the palate come sweet agave, lime peel, white pepper and hints of earth and volcanic stone, and the finish is clean, crisp and refreshing, with lingering agave sweetness and mineral depth.
The sculpted white-capped bottle makes it an elegant gift.
Sip it neat or use it in a premium cocktail.
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.
