Purasangre Blanco Tequila
Purasangre Blanco Tequila is the unaged expression of Enrique Fonseca's highland tequila — an 87-proof (43.5% ABV) 100% blue Weber agave blanco in a 750mL bottle, per the importer's spec sheet. Made at NOM 1146 in Tequila, Jalisco, from agave grown around Atotonilco El Alto and double-distilled in alembic and copper pot stills, it is bottled at a higher strength than standard blanco to keep the full weight of the agave in the glass. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Blanco at Full Volume
Most blancos are proofed down to 80; Purasangre's comes out at 43.5%, and the difference is the point — the extra strength carries the highland agave's earthy, peppery, citrus-driven character without dilution. No oak, no additives: just double pot-still spirit at the strength where it drinks best. Explore the Purasangre collection or shop more tequila at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Bright and assertive — tropical fruit, fresh botanicals, and cooked agave on the nose; black pepper, vanilla bean, grilled pineapple, and lemongrass on the palate; a clean, lingering white-pepper finish (per retailer consensus).
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a single cube to taste what higher proof buys you. It also holds its own in a Margarita where a standard blanco would disappear.
