El Mexicano Blanco Tequila
Blanco | 40% ABV / 80 Proof | 750mL | Unaged
Process & Profile
El Mexicano Blanco brings fresh citrus and herbal balance to the family's tequila range. This 80-proof expression offers a distinct way to explore the character of Highland agave, whether enjoyed slowly on its own or as part of a carefully balanced serve.
The Baรฑuelos family produces El Mexicano at Hacienda El Mexicano, NOM 1588, in Arandas in the Jalisco Highlands. Three generations of tequila-making experience underpin the range, which begins with 100% Blue Weber agave. The maker describes agave, water and yeast as its foundation, with traditional slow cooking, open-air fermentation and custom pot stills shaping the production.
This expression is unaged, keeping the focus on the spirit's agave character. At 40% ABV, its combination of cooked agave, citrus and mint works equally well for tasting and mixing.

How to Enjoy
Start neat in a tulip-shaped glass, allowing a brief rest before returning to the aroma. Compare the first sip with a later one after adding just a few drops of water. For a cooler pour, use one large ice cube and allow dilution to develop gradually.
Try a Margarita with fresh lime or a Paloma with grapefruit. The maker suggests fresh salad and seafood as pairings; keep the accompaniments light when you want the citrus and herbal character to remain the focus.
