This is my very favorite Blanco tequila. It is refreshing and perfect for a nice slow sip and enjoy. Pure and clean, with super generous minerals and light white pepper. It also has a nice viscosity and smoothness with flavors of cream, cooked agave, cinnamon and stone fruits. A real pleasure to drink!

Notes

There are few products where legacy is more important than in Tequila. Brands come and go, but families do not. LALO Tequila is named for the father of its founder, Eduardo "Lalo" Gonzalez. This nickname was given to him by his grandfather, Don Julio Gonzalez. Originally created to the specifications of his grandfathers recipe as a product to share exclusively with friends and family, LALO now represents the continuation of decades of high-quality tequila production. Using only mature highland agave, steamed slowly and rested for days before fermentation. Only agave, Champagne yeast, and water are added during fermentation before a slow careful distillation. LALO is only sold as a blanco, intended to capture the true essence of this special plant, and present it as the master himself intended. Yet, the brand is not intended to be saved for special occasions, but instead offered as a vehicle to make an occasion that much more special. Expect a crisp clean agave-forward nose, a luxurious and rich mouth feel with notes of cinnamon, roasted agave, sweet potato, citrus fruit, and a long creamy finish.
