Derechito Tequila Blanco
Derechito Tequila Blanco is the unaged foundation of the Derechito line — 40% ABV, 750mL, 100% blue Weber agave distilled twice at NOM 1459 in Amatitán, Jalisco. Stone and brick ovens, roller-mill extraction, natural spring water and stainless pot distillation produce a soft, mellow blanco: light fresh peppermint on the nose, sweet-but-not-too-sweet agave and flowers on the palate, and a nice aftertaste. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Unaged Foundation of the Line
Every Derechito expression starts here: blue Weber agave slow-cooked in stone and brick ovens, roller-milled, fermented with natural spring water and double-distilled in stainless pot stills. The blanco keeps all of that visible — a pleasant, not-overly-rich nose of light fresh peppermint and flowers, a soft, mellow palate that is sweet without going too far, and a clean aftertaste that reviewers call a good blanco for drinking neat. It is the founder's winemaking touch applied to Jalisco's most honest category: compare with other blanco tequilas and the tequila collection, or browse Derechito.
Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
