Olmeca Tequila Blanco is a mixto tequila produced at DestilerĂa Colonial de Jalisco (NOM 1111) in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico, and owned by Pernod Ricard. Made from blue Weber agave with additional fermentable sugars, it is double distilled in copper pot stills and bottled unaged at 40% ABV. It typically retails for around $30 per 750 mL bottle.
The tequila has an unmistakable vegetal quality with underlying flavours which remind me of over-ripe squash and pumpkin. A peppery spice lies beside the punky fruit and some soft citrus flavours and some sugar cane sweetness lie underneath as well.
