Celaya Blanco Tequila 750mL

Celaya Blanco Tequila

100% Blue Weber Agave | Blanco Tequila | Jalisco, Mexico | Double Distilled | 40% ABV / 80 Proof | 750mL

Process & Profile

Celaya Blanco puts agave at the center of the glass, with rounded herbal aromas and a bright citrus character. It is the fresh, vibrant expression in the Celaya range, built for drinkers who enjoy the direct flavor of agave as much as a well-made cocktail. Its clean profile makes it an easy bottle to move between a small sipping pour and a gathering with friends.

Celaya starts with a 50/50 mix of highland and lowland Blue Weber agave from Jalisco. One portion is cooked in an autoclave and the other in traditional brick ovens for up to 54 hours. After the juice is extracted, fermentation with naturally occurring yeast can take up to 60 hours, followed by double distillation.

Bottled soon after distillation, the blanco presents the spirit without the oak influence found in Celaya Reposado and Añejo. At 40% ABV, it offers a versatile starting point for exploring the range and a clear reference for comparing how barrel maturation changes the other expressions.

• Highland and lowland origins: An equal mix of agave from two Jalisco growing regions.
• Two cooking methods: Autoclave and traditional brick-oven cooking contribute to the production process.

• 80-proof versatility: Enjoy it neat or use it as a dependable base for citrus-led cocktails.

How to Enjoy

Taste a small pour neat in a tulip-shaped glass to explore its herbal side before introducing ice or mixers. A short rest in the glass gives you time to compare the aroma with the brighter citrus character on the palate.

For cocktails, try a classic Margarita with fresh lime or a Paloma with grapefruit and soda. Keep the sweetness restrained so the agave remains present. As a pairing suggestion, serve with lime-dressed seafood, fresh salsa or grilled vegetables.
