A Family Brand's Organic Blanco
El Nivel is the family-owned brand of Alejandro Barajas, which moved production from the smaller Destilador Refugio to the larger organic-focused Tequila Las Américas in Amatitán. The process is deliberate: hand-selected, trimmed agave baked 72 hours in brick ovens, then small-batch distilled. Reviewer Jeff Ellingson praised its earthy agave lead with citrus, vanilla, smoke and herbal notes — a blanco with real character at an honest price.

Tasting Notes
Per Best Tasting Spirits (88 points): aroma of earthy agave with citrus, vanilla, smoke and herbal notes; a sweet agave entry joined by vanilla, building to a black pepper, lime and buttery-agave peak; a finish of vanilla, lime peel and black pepper.
How to Enjoy
