Raygoza Origen Blanco Tequila
Raygoza Origen Blanco starts where the Origen line gets its name — at the origin, with fire. The agave for this 100% agave blanco tequila is cooked in a wood-fired oven (horno de leña), the old way, lending the spirit a subtle smoke beneath its bright agave character. It is made by Compañía Tequilera Don Cayo (NOM 1649) in El Arenal, Jalisco.

The Origen Line
Origen is Raygoza's traditional-cooking line, built around the wood-fired oven. Where the Artesanal blanco is all freshness and lift, Origen trades a little of that brightness for depth — the fire-kissed cook gives the unaged spirit a robust, elegant base note that blanco drinkers who also love rustic, old-school tequila will recognize right away.
Tasting Notes
Intense agave and herbal aromas rise first, with the wood fire whispering underneath. The palate is robust and complex — cooked agave at the center, herbal freshness around it, and that elegant smoky undertone carrying through the finish.
How to Enjoy
This is a blanco to sip slowly, neat or with a single cube, so the smoky base note has room to show. In cocktails it stands up beautifully in a Margarita or a Oaxacan-style old fashioned split with mezcal, and it makes a memorably savory Paloma.
