Production & Heritage

Prospero Blanco is produced at the Don Roberto Distillery (NOM-1437) in the Lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico, under the direction of Master Distiller Stella Anguiano. The tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave sourced from the highlands and valley regions of Jalisco, then double distilled to achieve a clean yet expressive spirit. Anguiano's three decades of distilling expertise shape a blanco that balances raw agave intensity with polished drinkability — a profile that has earned recognition across multiple international spirits competitions.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh and bright on the nose, opening with sweet agave and citrus before a distinctive cut of fresh jalapeño emerges. Jasmine and a trace of white pepper add floral complexity underneath.

Taste: The entry is almost creamy, with sweet corn and ripe agave coating the palate. At mid-palate, jalapeño spice arrives alongside lime zest and grapefruit rind, building into a layered citrus core. A gentle earthiness and hints of white pepper round out the peak, keeping the heat in check with soft sweetness.

Finish: Smooth and satisfying, with lingering pepper and citrus that fade gradually. The finish is medium in length, leaving behind a clean agave signature and a subtle mineral quality.

How to Drink Prospero Blanco

Sipping neat or over a single large ice cube rewards patient drinkers with the full range of agave and jalapeño character. A few drops of water open up the floral jasmine notes without dulling the spice.

• Margarita: The jalapeño bite and citrus backbone cut through triple sec and lime, adding depth to the classic template.
• Paloma: Grapefruit rind notes in the spirit mirror the grapefruit soda, creating a seamless, refreshing highball.
• Ranch Water: The clean double-distilled profile and peppery kick hold their own alongside mineral-forward sparkling water and fresh lime.
