Tanteo Chipotle Blanco Tequila
Tanteo Chipotle Blanco Tequila is an 80-proof 100% agave blanco infused with real roasted chipotle peppers — the smoky expression of the Tanteo line. The base is the same slow-roasted, double-distilled Highland agave blanco Tanteo makes at its farmer-owned distillery in Juanacatlán, Jalisco, and the chipotles go in through the brand's proprietary fresh-pepper maceration process with nothing artificial. Clean smoke and roasted pepper up front, agave sweetness running underneath, tobacco and roasted-heat notes through the middle, and a long, sweet, warming finish. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Smoke, Not Just Heat
Where the Habanero goes straight at your palate, the Chipotle takes the scenic route. Roasted chipotle brings smoke first and heat second, which makes this the thinking drinker's spicy tequila — the one for cocktails that want depth rather than a dare. Tanteo's distillery is owned by 85 families of agave farmers, and the brand was acquired by Ole Smoky in 2023, but the process hasn't changed: brick ovens, hand-sorted peppers, hand-sealed bottles.
