The Unaged Chula Parranda, Straight Up
Blanco is the truest read on a distillery, and Partida's blanco reads fresh and elegant: fresh agave with floral tones and a touch of menthol on the nose, a smooth, clean palate of sweet agave and delicate earthiness with subtle pepper, and a crisp finish that lingers pleasantly. The brand's extra añejo was named Extra Añejo of the Year at the 2018 New York International Spirits Competition — this blanco shares the same Los Valles agave and the same master distiller's hand. It is a margarita natural and a neat-sipper's fresh pick: compare with other blanco tequilas and the tequila collection, or see the Chula Parranda lineup.
