Unaged, Straight from the Still
Blanco is tequila with nowhere to hide — no barrel to round the edges — so the distillery matters more here than anywhere else. Casa Maestri works from its own distillery, NOM 1438, cooking ~7-year-old blue Weber agave in traditional stone brick ovens and double-distilling in pot stills before bottling immediately: the result is a clean, cooked-agave-forward blanco. Retailer tasting consensus (labeled as such): citrus, white pepper, and cooked agave on the nose; minerality and subtle sweetness on the palate; a pleasant vegetal, peppery finish. Shop blanco tequila, all tequila, or the Casa Maestri range.
Tasting Notes
Binny's notes citrus, white pepper, and cooked agave on the nose with minerality and subtle sweetness on the palate; Virginia ABC adds fruity, floral, slightly herbaceous character with tropical-fruit hints and a medium-length, peppery-sweet finish. Expect the classic unaged profile: bright agave, white pepper, and mineral lift.
How to Enjoy
Neat or lightly chilled to taste the cooked-agave character at full strength; it's also a premium base for margaritas and palomas where the agave can stand up to citrus.
