Atanasio Blanco Tequila
Atanasio Blanco Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) unaged 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from the Landeros family's NOM 1599 distillery in San Pedro de los Landeros, Jalisco — the purest expression of the house. Agave cooked in an autoclave, crushed by roller mill, fermented with wild ambient yeast in open stainless tanks, and double-distilled in stainless pot stills with deep-well water and zero additives: cooked agave, green apple, and black pepper, nothing hidden. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Agave Does All the Talking
Blanco is where a distillery can't hide, and Atanasio's house style is built for it: sweet cooked agave, earthy minerality, green apple and herbal lift, a flick of black pepper on the finish. Enthusiast reviewers rank it among their favorite blancos in its price tier — the autoclave-driven funk divides tasters the way all characterful blancos do, but nobody calls it boring. It anchors the Atanasio line and our blanco tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear. Cooked agave, green apple, and herbal aromas give way to sweet agave, earthy minerality, and black pepper. Bold, peppery, and long — a sipper's blanco.
How to Enjoy
Neat to taste the distillery's handiwork, or in a bright margarita where the agave leads instead of the sweetener. Try it in a ranch water with lime and mineral water — nothing wasted.
