The Purest Taste of the Family's Agave
Before oak, there is agave — and the Tesoro Number 5 Blanco is built to prove it. Highland agave from Arandas, slow-roasted in brick ovens, fermented wild with natural yeast, and double pot-distilled, then bottled with no barrel time at all. What reaches the glass is the family's raw material: earthy, bright, unmistakably Los Altos. It is the reference point for the whole Tesoro Tequila collection, including the 3-month reposado.
Tasting Notes
Expect vibrant cooked agave — earthy and mineral with a bright, almost citrus lift — framed by the gentle funk of natural-yeast fermentation. Clean, lively, and distinctly highland in character.
How to Enjoy
The classic margarita and paloma blanco — or sip neat to taste what eight generations of agave selection can do.
