Description
Solento Organic Blanco is a from Jalisco, Mexico. It’s USDA certified organic and made from 100% blue agave. The agave grows on a single estate at high elevation, which gives it a sweeter side. Harvesters trim away the bitter parts of each plant by hand.
The piñas are cooked in brick ovens and crushed with a roller mill. The juice ferments in open-air tanks. It’s then distilled twice in small batches in pot stills. No aging is needed for a blanco like this.
Lift the glass and you’ll smell vanilla and lemon tree blossom. The first sip brings bright Meyer lemon and soft Tahitian vanilla. It feels silky on your tongue. The finish is light and clean, with a little lemon peel at the end.
This tequila earned Double Gold at the 2019 SIP Awards. Enjoy it neat, or use it in a margarita, Paloma or tequila sunrise. It pairs nicely with fish tacos, ceviche, fresh salsa and grilled vegetables.
If you love bright, clean blanco tequila, this one is easy to like. Fans of rich, oaky añejo may want something older. For everyone else, it’s a simple way to bring organic agave to your table.
