The Purest Read on the Kostiv Program
Before the French wine barrels come into play, there's the blanco: the same lowland agave, stone-oven roast, roller-mill crush, and open-air wooden fermentation as the aged expressions, bottled without any wood contact. It's the clearest window into the distillate — and into what the French Cabernet barrels add later. Explore the full line at Kostiv, or browse the store's blanco tequila and tequila shelves.
Tasting Notes
Nose: vanilla, grass, delicate floral. Palate: vanilla, butter, citrus — with subtle vegetal and earth notes underneath. Lingering finish (Cask Cartel retailer copy).
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tequila glass for the full read, or as the premium blanco in margaritas and ranch waters where agave character should lead.
