El Nivel Ghost Pepper Blanco Tequila
El Nivel Ghost Pepper Blanco Tequila is a 40% ABV, 750mL ghost-pepper-infused blanco — the same 100% organic single-estate lowland blue agave from Amatitan, Jalisco (NOM 1480) as the core line, with real ghost pepper heat folded into the blanco base. This is not an aged expression and not related to the separate "Ghost Tequila" brand: it is El Nivel's blanco, spiced up, built for cocktails with a kick. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
