Arette Blanco Tequila
$24.50
Arette Blanco Tequila is a pure, unaged tequila that showcases the authentic character of 100% Blue Weber agave with clarity and tradition. Produced by the Orendain family at their distillery in Tequila, Jalisco—the birthplace of Mexico's national spirit—Arette is crafted from estate-grown agave harvested from the lowlands (El Valle), where the rich volcanic soil imparts distinctive earthy, herbal, and vegetal characteristics to the agave. This blanco expression is bottled shortly after distillation without aging, preserving the raw, vibrant agave flavor in its purest form and allowing the true character of the terroir and production methods to shine through. The result is a clean, crisp tequila that delivers authentic agave character with peppery spice and herbal complexity at an accessible price point, making it popular among tequila enthusiasts who appreciate traditional craftsmanship and genuine value. Named after a famous Mexican racehorse, Arette represents excellence and authenticity in tequila production.
On the nose, Arette Blanco presents bright aromas of fresh agave, citrus, and black pepper with notes of herbs, minerals, and the distinctive earthy-vegetal character that lowland agave provides. The palate delivers a crisp, clean experience with vibrant cooked agave flavor, white pepper, lime, and herbal notes balanced by subtle sweetness and the mineral complexity that reflects the volcanic terroir. The finish is smooth and warming with lingering agave, pepper spice, and citrus brightness. This blanco's pure agave character makes it ideal for showcasing tequila's true flavor—it creates exceptional margaritas where quality agave shines through, works beautifully in palomas and other tequila cocktails, and is smooth enough to enjoy neat or with a squeeze of lime for those who appreciate tequila in its most authentic form. Whether you're a tequila enthusiast seeking quality blancos that deliver traditional lowland character, looking for mixing tequilas that elevate cocktails without premium pricing, or exploring how terroir influences agave spirits, Arette Blanco Tequila delivers pure agave character and authentic Mexican craftsmanship in every clean, peppery pour.
