El Tesoro Blanco Tequila is named for Don Felipe Camarena, the man who established La Alteña Distillery in 1937 and where El Tesoro is distilled today.
The agaves used in its production are 100% estate-grown agaves from Los Altos (aka Highlands) of Jalisco. After the agaves cook for three days in a horno (oven), they are then crushed by a two-ton tahona stone. Fermentation and distillation include not only the aguamiel (cooked agave juice), but the fibers and pulp.
It is distilled to proof meaning no water is added. It is bottled without aging at 80 proof.
Clear with a platinum cast. Layered, complex aromas of olive, cheese rind, herbs, and roasted pepper follow through on a rich, silky entry to a dryish medium-to-full body with fantastic depth and balance.
Cheers, and enjoy this tequila!
