Aromas are bright and expressive, with white pepper and sweet agave intertwined with citrus peel, sage, lemongrass, and roasted jalapeño-spiced butter.

The finish is long and earthy, with lingering herbal spice and a final touch of agave syrup sweetness.

Distiller's Background:

Espanita Tequila is handcrafted in the high-altitude red clay soils of Jalisco’s Highlands, where agaves grow slowly and develop extraordinary depth. The piñas are slow-baked in traditional ovens and distilled with care to preserve their character. Espanita’s Artesano collection captures the complexity and vibrancy of pure agave, making each bottle a celebration of craft and terroir.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve neat at room temperature to experience its full aromatic spectrum, or use in a clean, agave-forward cocktail like a classic Tommy’s Margarita. Perfect alongside citrus-marinated ceviche, grilled shrimp with lime, or dishes featuring lemongrass and chili.

Espanita Tequila Blanco is not just a spirit; it’s an expression of land, lineage, and agave in its most unadorned form.
