ElVelo, Jalisco, Mexico, Tequila Blanco, 750ml

84 Points on Tequila Matchmaker

89 Proof.  100% pure Agave grown in Volcanic rich soils.  Get ready for a Blanco Tequila that will take you on a ride.  A pungent, spicy nose, that's textured with earthy, dried fruit notes. A similarly concentrated, even more savory palate, delivering intense flavors and great minerality. This is memorable tequila and a bonafide bargain.

Notes of warm cocoa and desert dust. When sipped, it tingles on the palate because of the slightly high proof (44.5% alcohol by volume), but it finishes with a soothing, lingering coat of buttery minerality. Topo Chico brings out a hidden vegetal-ness (like roasted green pepper), so give this one a whirl in a Ranch Water.
