Tequila Blanco

Tequila Blanco, also known as white or silver tequila, is the purest form of this iconic Mexican spirit. It is either unaged or aged for only a short time, usually less than two months, which preserves the fresh, straightforward flavor of blue agave.

Character and flavor

Tequila Blanco is lively, intense, and authentic. Its taste highlights notes of fresh agave, citrus, white pepper, and delicate herbs. Unlike aged styles such as Tequila Reposado or Tequila Añejo, it feels crisp, refreshing, and full of energy.

Authentic 100% agave tequila

When choosing, look for the 100% agave label – it guarantees a pure distillate made solely from blue agave with no added sugars or alcohol. Such tequila is traditionally produced in Mexico, mainly in the Jalisco region, and symbolizes craftsmanship and genuine flavor.

Perfect for cocktails or sipping

Blanco tequilas are ideal for cocktails such as Margarita, Paloma, or Tequila Sunrise. They can also be enjoyed neat – best served over ice in a small caballito glass to highlight their fresh aroma. In Europe, it is often drunk with salt and lemon – the salt is licked off the hand, the tequila is drunk straight, and then followed by a bite of lemon.
