Highland Agave, Clean and Direct
Arandas, in Jalisco's Los Altos, is one of tequila's historic production centers, and NOM 1460 is one of its long-standing distilleries. El Charro Blanco is the house's calling card: highland agave gives it a naturally sweet, floral, fruit-forward profile, and the unaged blanco format puts that character front and center. It is a working tequila — built for margaritas and palomas — that also sips cleanly neat. Explore more blanco tequilas or browse El Charro at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Cooked agave, white pepper, and citrus blossom on the nose. The palate is clean and agave-forward — sweet agave, lime zest, light pepper — with a crisp, refreshing finish.
How to Enjoy
In a margarita or paloma, where the agave character carries the cocktail. Sips cleanly neat at room temperature for the agave purist.
