El Mexicano Blanco 90 Tequila

Blanco | 45% ABV / 90 Proof | 750mL | Unaged

Process & Profile

El Mexicano Blanco 90 brings a bolder, higher-proof agave profile to the family's tequila range. This 90-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 Bañuelos 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 45% ABV, it is a separate bottling from the 40% Blanco and offers additional presence in a cocktail.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Cooked agave, baking spice, lemon and mint.
• Palate: Concentrated cooked-agave character with minerality.
• Finish: An agave-led impression with spice and mineral accents.

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.

The maker suggests Palomas and Margaritas, where the additional proof helps the agave remain present. Chocolate with 50–60% cocoa is an expression-specific pairing suggestion worth exploring.
