Tequila Blanco, Los Valores

• Blanco tequila produced in Ixtlahuacán De Los Membrillos, Jalisco, at Compañia Tequilera Los Valores (NOM 1608) • Maestro Tequilero Ricardo Antonio Aguilar • Produced using 100% Azul aka Blue Weber (Agave tequilana) matured 5–8 years • 70% roasted in a stone oven and 30% steamed in a low-pressure autoclave • Milled using a roller mill • Open-air fermented for an average of 7 days in stainless steel tanks using ambient yeast and underground spring water • Distilled twice in stainless steel pot stills • An earthy nose of dried mushroom, peanut shell, roasted agave, and a hint of soy sauce precedes an oily, umami-rich palate of plantain, sweet potato, and grilled asparagus with a dry, peppery finish • Verified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker • 40% ABV Produced without diffusers or additives near the town of Chapala, home to Mexico’s largest freshwater lake, Los Valores Blanco Tequila is the perfect introduction to this exciting new distillery. This blanco defies common “highland” or “lowland” categorization, as it shares some of the bolder flavors of both regions with the vegetal, green flavors of the lowlands, and the sweet, mineral focus of the highlands.
