Unaged Highland Agave, Copper Pot Distilled
The blanco is where a tequila brand can't hide: no barrel to lean on, just agave, water, yeast, and the still. La Adelita's answers are strong — estate highland agave, copper pot distillation, hand-bottling — and the result is a blanco with real presence: peppery, floral, and built for cocktails that deserve better than a neutral mixer.

Tasting Notes
Vibrant and agave-forward: sweet cooked agave and citrus blossom up front, white pepper and fresh herbs through the middle, a clean mineral finish. The copper-pot distillation gives it a rounded texture unusual in unaged tequila.
How to Enjoy
The house margarita and Paloma upgrade — its peppery lift cuts through citrus beautifully. Also excellent in a ranch water or sipped neat by blanco lovers who like their agave loud.
