Cimarron Blanco Mexican Tequila 100 cl 40%

The highlands around Atotonilco sit close to 1,400 metres above sea level, where the sun beats down on rows of blue agave and the soil runs red with minerals. This is where Cimarron Blanco is born, in the heart of Jalisco — no cask, no polish, no additives, just agave distilled as close to its raw character as possible.

Expert's Description

Cimarron Blanco Mexican Tequila is a 100% Agave Tequila from Jalisco, unaged and bottled at 40%.

The bottle comes from Tequileña, a distillery in the town of Tequila run by Enrique Fonseca — a fourth-generation agave farmer who modified the distillery's own copper column still himself, stripping it down to seven plates so the spirit wouldn't be stripped of its character along with the impurities. The result is a tequila that tastes like its raw material rather than just alcohol.

The agave is grown in the highlands around Atotonilco, where it reaches an unusually high sugar content. It's roasted slowly under low pressure in an autoclave — a gentle process that draws out sweetness and spice without scorching the plant — before the must ferments naturally with wine yeast. After two runs through the column still, Cimarron Blanco is bottled shortly after distillation, with no resting in wood and no additives.

Cimarron was founded in 1994 and belongs to the newer generation of highland tequilas built around showing off the agave in its purest form. It's not a tequila made for salt-and-lime shots — it's a Blanco that can hold its own in the glass.

Cooked agave and damp earth meet fresh fruit, herbs and a touch of spice — clean and earthy, with nothing perfumed about it.

Taste

Soft and round, with vanilla, honeydew melon and olive, lifted by mint, lemongrass and dill.

Dry, closing on mushroom, black tea, a hint of sea spray, and finally black pepper and cinnamon.

Did you know?

The agave used for Cimarron is grown up to 1,400 metres above sea level, where it reaches 24-26° Brix in sugar content — well above agave grown at lower altitudes. It's one of the reasons Cimarron Blanco tastes softer and sweeter, even though it never goes near a cask.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cimarron Blanco Mexican Tequila

What is Cimarron Blanco Tequila made from?

It's made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, grown in the highlands near Atotonilco in Jalisco. The agave is roasted at low pressure, ferments naturally and is distilled twice at the Tequileña distillery.

Is Cimarron Blanco a 100% agave tequila?

Yes. Nothing is added — no sugar, no colouring — just agave, yeast and water, bottled without resting in wood.

What does Cimarron Blanco Tequila taste like?

Cooked agave, earth and fruit on the nose, a soft palate of vanilla, melon and herbs, and a dry finish of black pepper and cinnamon.

What's the best cocktail for Cimarron Blanco?

It's built to be sipped on its own, but it also works well in a classic Margarita or a Paloma, where the agave character still comes through.

Should Cimarron Blanco be drunk with salt and lime?

No, it doesn't need it. The quality and clean agave character mean it can be enjoyed neat in a tequila glass without salt or lime.

What's the difference between Blanco and Reposado tequila?

Blanco is unaged and bottled shortly after distillation, so the agave's raw character stands out most. Reposado rests in wood for a few months, picking up colour and a rounder, spicier character.

Who makes Cimarron Tequila?

Cimarron is made at the Tequileña distillery in the town of Tequila, run by Enrique Fonseca, a fourth-generation agave farmer. The brand was founded in 1994.
