Heritage & Craft: Made by the Orendain family, who are one of the founding tequila families and keep many traditional practices in production.
Estate Sourced Agave: Growing agave in their own fields gives more control over yield, maturity, and consistency.
No Oak Influence: As a blanco, there's no aging in barrels, so you get pure agave, herbs, minerals and the terroir of the Tequila Valley.
Good Value: Many reviewers see it as offering strong character for the price — solid blanco tequila without the premium cost of some aged expressions.
Excellent for mixing: cocktails like Margaritas, Palomas, or any that benefit from fresh agave / herbal spark.
Sipping blanco lovers will appreciate its purity and clarity.
A tequila that reveals more with air: letting it open (swirl, rest) tends to soften alcohol heat and bring forward vegetal/herbal and floral notes.
Serve: Neat or slightly chilled to preserve aromas. Also great just with a big ice cube.
Cocktails: Use in classic tequila cocktails where blanco shines: Margarita, Tequila Sunrise, Paloma, or even a Blanco Old Fashioned.
Food Pairing: Fresh Mexican cuisine — ceviche, tacos with lime, grilled veggies; salsa verde; also seafood, oysters; or fruit-infused desserts.
Glassware: Small copita or sipping glass for neat; highball if mixing.
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
