Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is lowland tequila?
Lowland tequila (from the valley regions near Tequila, Jalisco) tends to be earthier, more herbaceous, and spicier than Highland tequila, with a more pronounced agave character and less sweetness. El Pintor Blanco is a classic expression of this lowland style.
What is a tahona mill?
A tahona is a large stone wheel used to crush roasted agave piñas — one of the most traditional milling methods in tequila and mezcal production. El Pintor uses a hybrid approach, combining tahona with mechanical milling to achieve the best balance of tradition and consistency.
Why is 84 proof ideal for cocktails?
At 84 proof (42% ABV), El Pintor Blanco has enough strength to hold its own in cocktails without overpowering other ingredients — slightly higher than the standard 80 proof, giving cocktails more backbone and agave presence.
