Process & Production
El Tequileño Still Strength Blanco is produced using 100% Blue Weber agave grown in Jalisco and distilled according to the traditional methods established by the Salles family. The agaves are cooked, fermented, and double distilled in copper pot stills using the distillery's signature volcanic spring water sourced from the Volcán de Tequila region. Rather than reducing the spirit to the standard 40% ABV, this expression is bottled at still strength (50% ABV), preserving its bold aromas, concentrated agave flavors, and robust character exactly as intended by the master distiller.
