La Escondida Tequila Blanco Organico

La Escondida Blanco Organico is a 100% Blue Weber tequila produced from certified organic agave, the brand better known for its Oaxacan mezcals here turning to the blue agave distillate of Jalisco. As a blanco it is bottled at or near distillation strength of 40%, leaving the cooked agave and the distillery's hand on clear display.
Tequila agave is steam cooked rather than pit roasted, so the spirit carries cooked agave sweetness without smoke. Twice distilled and unaged, it reads clean and approachable, with baked agave, light citrus and a gentle white pepper warmth typical of an everyday blanco. The organic farming of the agave is the headline angle, the profile soft and balanced rather than bold.
