The Pure Highland Agave Expression
If the reposado shows what oak can do, the blanco shows what the agave tastes like on its own. Same distillery (NOM 1479, Hacienda la Capilla), same Highland blue Weber agave, no barrel time — the unaged expression is the puro read of the house character, brighter and more peppery than its rested sibling. The "for the people" positioning holds: premium 100% agave tequila at an accessible price, from a distillery with over a century of history east of Guadalajara. Shop our blanco tequila shelf, browse the Por La Gente range, or line it up against our tequilas generally.
Tasting Notes
Crisp and fresh on the nose — ripened agave, soft citrus, subtle pepper. The palate is full and bold: rich agave with spice, roasted pineapple, and smoked peppers. The finish is clean and satisfying, with lingering agave sweetness and a gentle smoky-pepper warmth.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks to showcase the agave, or as a cocktail base — the peppery punch holds up in a classic margarita or paloma.
