Blanco is where it all begins for Corralejo — before the barrels, before the ageing, just the pure must from Guanajuato's agave fields, poured straight into the glass.
Expert Description
Corralejo Tequila Blanco is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave and bottled at 38%.
The tequila comes from Hacienda Corralejo in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, where distilling dates back to the 1770s, while the Corralejo brand itself was established in 1996. Blanco is the very soul of Corralejo's tequilas, since this expression forms the foundation for all its other releases. It's double distilled and bottled shortly after distillation, with no cask ageing, preserving the full, clean agave character.
