Arette Artesanal Suave Blanco is a 40% ABV, 750mL blanco tequila from El Llano (NOM 1109) in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico.

The Blanco That Waits Before It Ships
Most blancos go from still to bottle in days. Arette's Suave blanco rests in tanks first — the Orendain family's way of letting the spirit settle and gather body — which is why this one sips like a blanco with the volume turned up: estate lowlands agave, fermented in El Llano's original cement vats and double-distilled in copper-coiled pot stills, with the heads and tails kept out of the final spirit for a smooth, cool style. El Llano has made tequila in the town of Tequila since 1900; Arette launched in 1986. Find it among our tequila range, the wider spirits shelf, or the Arette vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft agave with herbs, citrus, flowers and a touch of licorice. Palate: Smooth entry — herbs and honey over clean agave sweetness, with lemon zest and green-pepper brightness. Finish: Long and light, grassy and mineral.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature to judge it as a sipper — the Suave brief — or in a margarita or ranch water where its extra body holds up the drink.
