Highland Agave, Nothing Added
Same story as the Reposado above it: the "1940" line honors founder Don Ricardo López's birth year, and the liquid is third-generation highland agave work — slow masonry-oven cooking, a long cool fermentation, and distillation at nearly 6,850 feet in the Los Altos. Unaged and additive-free, this is the purest read on what Campo Azul's agave tastes like. See more from Campo Azul or browse tequila and blanco tequila.
Tasting Notes
Sweet, vegetal cooked agave with herbaceous notes and hints of pepper on the nose; fresh herbs and agave up front, white pepper spice, warm lemon, and damp earth on the palate; a clean, bright finish with lingering minerality and gentle pepper warmth.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature to taste the agave, or in a blanco-forward Margarita where the minerality shines. It also holds up in a highball with soda and grapefruit.
