Laelia Blanco Tequila — 750ml | 40% ABV
A Pure and Vibrant Expression of Highland Terroir Laelia Blanco is a premium 100% Blue Weber Agave spirit produced in the Jalisco Highlands (Los Altos). As an unaged "Blanco" or silver tequila, it is bottled immediately after distillation to preserve the raw, vibrant essence of the agave plant. This expression is characterized by the bright, floral, and mineral-driven profile typical of high-altitude agave, offering a clean and crisp experience for enthusiasts and mixologists alike.
Traditional Craftsmanship and Purity Produced at NOM 1438, Laelia Blanco utilizes traditional methods including slow-cooking the agave piñas in brick ovens (hornos) and meticulous distillation in stainless steel pots. This focus on purity ensures a smooth, velvety mouthfeel without the need for additives or oak aging. It serves as an exceptional foundation for a premium Margarita or Paloma, though its refined character is equally suited for neat sipping.
