The Story Behind Alien Tequila
Alien Tequila is made in the generational tradition of the artisan distillers of Jalisco, Mexico. Ripe highland Blue Weber agaves are harvested from the volcanic-soil slopes of Los Altos, slow-cooked, and double distilled at NOM 1547 — a distillery known for classic, traditional tequila made without shortcuts. The blanco expression captures the agave at its purest: rested only briefly, if at all, before bottling, so the fresh-cut agave character, citrus, and highland minerality come through unmasked. That commitment to old-school craft has earned Alien a shelf of medals, including double gold at the 2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Tequila.net's "Best Highland Blanco Tequila" honor in 2011.

Tasting Notes
Expect a crisp, agave-forward profile true to its highland origins. The nose opens with cooked agave, citrus zest, and a whisper of white pepper. On the palate, bright agave sweetness leads into lime, green herbs, and a light mineral note drawn from the Los Altos volcanic soil, with a gentle black-pepper warmth on the finish. Bottled at 80 proof, it is clean enough to sip neat yet structured enough to carry a premium margarita or paloma.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or lightly chilled to taste the pure agave character, or pour it into a Tommy's Margarita or a Paloma where its citrus and pepper notes shine. Alien Blanco also works beautifully in ready-to-drink cocktail builds that call for a classic blanco, and it pairs well with ceviche, grilled elote, or oysters. Serve with a large ice cube and a lime wedge for an easy after-dinner pour.
