EL Tequileno Blanco Tequila (750Ml)

Description

El Tequileño Blanco comes from La Guarreña, a family distillery in the town of Tequila, Jalisco. Don Jorge Salles Cuervo founded it in 1959. It holds NOM 1108, and no other brand has ever been made there. Today third-generation Master Distiller Tony Salles, runs the stills.

This is a mixto blanco made with 70% estate-grown blue Weber agave. The other 30% of the sugars come from piloncillo, a raw Mexican cane sugar. The agave grows in the Los Altos highlands, known for sweet, ripe plants. Spring water from the Tequila Volcano goes into every batch. The spirit is double distilled, then mellowed for 14 days in American oak. That short rest is unusual for a blanco and softens the edges.

Bring the glass to your nose and you will find cooked agave and fresh herbs. Delicate anise and black pepper sit underneath. The first sip is all sweet cooked agave. A peppery note returns on the medium-length finish.

Judges keep rewarding it. It earned Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in both 2024 and 2025. It also won Double Gold at the 2023 International Spirits Challenge and Gold at the 2023 Prüf Awards. It carries Star Kosher certification.

The distillery's top tip is La Batanga, the cola and lime highball born in Tequila. A grilled pineapple Margarita is another favourite. It also works well in a Paloma or a simple tequila soda. Serve it with tacos, ceviche or grilled seafood. If you like a clean, easygoing blanco for mixing, this bottle belongs on your bar.
