Pueblo Viejo Blanco Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Unaged 100% Highland blue agave | NOM 1103, Los Altos, Jalisco — Pueblo Viejo Blanco is the flagship of Casa San Matías — one of Jalisco's oldest distilleries, operating for over 130 years — bottled unaged straight from the still so the Highland agave speaks first.
Made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the Highlands (Los Altos), slow-cooked to caramelize the piñas, then distilled and bottled without a day in wood. It pours clear and bright with a bluish tinge: cooked agave, green apple, and citrus on the nose, then sweet fruit with a hint of lime and light spice on the palate — a smooth, herbal blanco with a long, pleasant finish. The distillery's classic cocktail blanco: perfect in a margarita where real agave character matters, available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
