Hornitos Tequila Blanco

Blanco Tequila | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750mL | Jalisco, Mexico | 100% Blue Agave

Process & Profile

Hornitos Tequila Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, featuring fresh agave flavor with bright citrus and herbal notes. Now appearing under the Blanco name previously associated with Hornitos Plata, this unaged expression offers a clear, lively profile suited to classic tequila cocktails.

The aroma combines floral and fruity accents with herbs and light citrus. Agave leads on the palate, supported by citrus freshness and a medium-bodied texture. A brief, warming finish gives way to a dry closing note, making this silver tequila a versatile choice for drinks built around lime, grapefruit or sparkling water.

Hornitos dates back to 1950, when Don Francisco Javier Sauza introduced the brand on Mexican Independence Day. Blanco provides an accessible introduction to its agave-focused style, whether served simply over ice or mixed into a Margarita.
