Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Style: Blanco (Unaged)  |  Distillery: Destiladora Del Valle (NOM 1438)

Production & Heritage

Nosotros Blanco is produced at Destiladora Del Valle (NOM 1438) in Jalisco, Mexico — notably the only female-owned and operated distillery in the country, led by Master Distiller Citlali Ovalle. The agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens for 60 hours before fermentation with a proprietary German yeast strain, a deliberate choice that influences the spirit's clean, expressive character. What truly separates this blanco from its peers is the 50/50 blend of highland and lowland agave: highland plants contribute sweet citrus-forward notes, while lowland agave brings earthy, herbal complexity to the finished spirit.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with roasted agave and fresh green agave before giving way to bright citrus — lime, grapefruit, and whole fresh orange. Cracked black pepper and a subtle petrichor earthiness sit underneath, adding intrigue beyond the fruit-forward top notes.

Taste: Entry is soft and slightly oily, with sweet agave nectar and stone fruit arriving immediately on the palate. The mid-palate builds toward juicy orange and citrus zest, balanced by herbal undertones and a cool hint of mint. At its peak, the highland-lowland duality becomes clear — sweetness and earth in precise equilibrium.

Finish: The finish is clean and semidry with moderate warmth, carrying lingering notes of frosted vanilla, roasted agave, and light pepper. A subtle brininess and delicate cocoa tone round out the closing, leaving the palate refreshed rather than heavy.

How to Drink Nosotros Blanco

Sipping neat or over a single large ice cube is the most direct way to experience the highland-lowland agave interplay. A few drops of water can further open up the citrus aromatics without diminishing the herbal backbone.

• Margarita: The bright citrus and clean agave character make it a natural fit, holding its own against fresh lime and triple sec without disappearing.
• Paloma: Grapefruit soda amplifies the existing grapefruit and orange notes already present in the spirit, creating a seamless, refreshing highball.
• Ranch Water: The mineral brininess on the finish pairs naturally with sparkling mineral water and lime, keeping the drink crisp and agave-forward.

Why Nosotros Blanco?

The 50/50 highland-lowland agave blend is genuinely uncommon in the blanco category, where most producers source from a single region. That structural decision, combined with a 60-hour brick-oven roast and proprietary German yeast fermentation under the direction of Master Distiller Citlali Ovalle at Mexico's only female-owned distillery, results in a spirit with more dimension than most unaged tequilas deliver. The Double Gold and Best Tequila of the Show honors at the San Francisco International Wine and Spirits Competition confirm what the glass reveals — this is a blanco built with intention, not just tradition. For drinkers who want to understand how terroir shapes tequila, Nosotros Blanco makes that lesson tangible in every sip.
