Manuscrito Tequila Blanco - Chapter 1

A complex yet perfectly balanced Blanco tequila that is equal parts sweet cooked agave, citrus, and vegetal notes -- reminiscent of the red volcanic soil and terroir of the Los Altos region. A mix of aromas and flavors -- such as wet grass, white pepper, grape, lemon zest, mint and bell pepper -- complement the cooked agave mouthfeel and cool vegetal finish. Made from single estate, 6-8 year, 100% Blue Weber agave and offered at 42.5% alc./vol. to provide a bolder and more complex tasting experience. Hand-crafted by Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez Camarena in Jesus Maria, Mexico, at “El Sabino” Distillery, this Blanco tequila is perfectly oxygenated to provide a smooth and balanced finish.
