About this bottle

Founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo, El Tequileño's current Master Distiller is his grandson, Jorge Antonio Salles. The brand sources its blue weber agave from the Los Altos region of Jalisco. The blanco expression is a mixto tequila, using 71% agave and 100% piloncillo (unrefined sugar) for the remaining sugars. It undergoes a 14-day rest in American oak before bottling, with no additives incorporated. The suggested retail price is between $25 and $28.

Sylvia Penn 3.5

Drunk neat. Perfectly clear. The aroma has lime peel, some agave, pepper, and herbs. The taste is mild agave, a bit sweet, with black pepper and a notable earthiness/minerality. The finish has a slight bite and a bitter herbal note. Overall, it's acceptable, but this is a mixto, so the agave presence is considerably lighter. It's the best mixto I've encountered and surpasses many 100% agave tequilas made with diffusers and additives. Considering the price, I'd likely choose Altos, as it's slightly less expensive than this mixto and is well-made.

Georgia Milton 3.0

Smells like lime, grapefruit, cooked agave, and soil. Texture is somewhat thick. Palate presents more lime, grapefruit, and agave, along with black pepper, vegetation, and faint cinnamon. The finish is rather brief. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat)

Jake Rendon 3.8

This is technically a mixto, but you'd hardly guess. It's quite sweet with noticeable agave notes, and it works wonderfully in Margaritas. An excellent bargain! Don't be pretentious!
