Description
El Ateo Blanco Still Strength is produced by Plantaciones Tequilana under NOM 1635 in Arandas, Jalisco — a Highland appellation recognized for its iron-rich red clay soils and elevation-driven agave character. Blue agave hearts are slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens to build depth, crushed using a traditional tahona wheel, and twice-distilled in stainless pot stills fitted with copper coils before being bottled at still strength without additives. The expression has earned 93 points from the Tequila Report.
The nose opens with vegetal and buttery cooked agave followed by white pepper and fresh mint, with a bright lift of citrus rind. On the palate, cooked agave and butter expand into a rich, full-bodied pour anchored by pepper warmth and citrus brightness, the still-strength bottling amplifying each element without tipping into burn. The finish is long and warming, carrying mint and citrus zest well past the pour.
El Ateo Blanco Still Strength sits naturally alongside other additive-free Highland blancos and artisan agave spirits available at , making it an easy addition for anyone building a shelf around traditional production methods. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
