The production is traditional in the ways that count: agave cooked in an autoclave, crushed on a roller mill, fermented spontaneously in open stainless tanks with no added yeast, and double distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils, per the maker’s own spec sheet. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% blue Weber agave, Los Valles, Jalisco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e NOM 1598\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autoclave-cooked, roller mill, spontaneous open fermentation, double distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Valley Blanco Built for the Bar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarlito’s is an independent Mexican spirits house that batches its tequila by sensory profile — each batch carries its own name — and its blanco is built the old valley way, with wild, spontaneous fermentation doing the flavor work that additives do at bigger brands.
