Mijenta Maestra Selection No. 2 Blanco Tequila Limited Edition
40% ABV (80 proof) | 750mL | Unaged | Limited edition — Mijenta Maestra Selection No. 2 is the second limited-edition release from maestra tequilera Ana Maria Romero: 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from single estates in each of Mexico's five Denomination of Origin states — Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas — distilled separately, then masterfully blended into one terroir-driven blanco. Unaged and crystal clear, additive-free, with presentation art by Mexican artist Sophia Castellanos. An annual release that is never repeated. Rated 90 points by Wine Enthusiast. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Each region imprints the distillate differently — the Highlands' florals and citrus, the Valley's earthier grip — and the blend reads like a map of Mexico in a glass: bright cooked agave, zesty citrus, delicate florals, herbal mint and sage, and a clean mineral finish, with an almost saline vibrance reviewers compare to high-grade mineral water. Among blancos and premium tequilas, this is the collector's pour that still earns its place in a cocktail — try it in a top-shelf margarita where the minerality can shine. Sip it neat first.
