Luna Llena Blanco Tequila
Luna Llena Blanco Tequila is the unaged heart of this small Amatitan estate line: 100% blue agave, slow-cooked, naturally fermented with open-air yeasts and double distilled, then bottled at 80 proof with nothing between you and the agave. Luna Llena — "full moon" — is crafted by ORfarms in Amatitan, Jalisco, and its Blanco is the purest read on the house style: bold, rich and unmistakably agave-driven. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor's tequila collection.

The Story
Luna Llena was born under the Mexican moon in Amatitan, in the heart of Jalisco's tequila country. The team at ORfarms works the slow way: agave cooked low and slow to deepen its natural sugars, fermentation left to open-air yeasts rather than rushed in closed tanks, and a meticulous double distillation that keeps the spirit bold and rich instead of stripping it clean. The striking moon-phase label — white for the Blanco — wraps a bottle built to show what pristine Amatitan agave tastes like before oak ever touches it.
Tasting Notes
Because it never sees a barrel, the Blanco is all agave: a bold, rich cooked-agave core with the bright, clean snap you expect from a traditionally made Amatitan blanco, finishing smooth rather than hot. This is the expression to reach for when you want to taste the field, not the cask.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or over a single large cube to open up the agave, or put it to work in a premium margarita, paloma or ranch water where a lesser blanco would disappear. Curious how the same spirit changes with rest? Try the barrel-rested Luna Llena Reposado Tequila next, or go straight to the top of the line with the Luna Llena Anejo Tequila.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Luna Llena Blanco made?
It is produced by ORfarms in Amatitan, Jalisco, Mexico, from 100% blue agave grown in the region.
Is Luna Llena Blanco 100% agave?
Yes — the label states 100% agave azul, with no mention of added sweeteners or mixto spirit. It is a pure blue agave tequila.
What is the difference between the Blanco, Reposado and Anejo?
Time in oak. The Blanco is unaged, the Reposado rests in American oak barrels, and the Anejo ages over a year in oak. The longer the rest, the deeper the vanilla, caramel and spice character.
However you pour it — neat, on ice or in a proper margarita — Luna Llena Blanco brings Amatitan's agave fields to your glass, available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
