Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico (Los Altos Highlands)  |  Style: Blanco (Unaged)  |  Distillery: Destileria Teremana De Agave (NOM 1613)

Production & Heritage

Destileria Teremana De Agave sits in Jesus Maria, in the Los Altos (Southern Highlands) region of Jalisco — an area prized for its iron-rich red soil and the sweeter agave it produces. The 100% Blue Weber agave is slow-roasted for three days in traditional brick ovens, then fermented in open tanks before being distilled through handmade copper pot stills built by a local artisan on the distillery premises. Those handmade copper stills are a meaningful distinction: many competitors at this price tier rely on stainless steel pots with copper coils, whereas full copper-pot distillation tends to strip more sulfur compounds and produce a cleaner, smoother spirit.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Grapefruit and roasted agave greet the nose first, followed by salted lime, pineapple, and a subtle herbaceous quality. A gentle vanilla undertone lingers beneath the bright citrus top notes.

Taste: The entry is crisp and slightly oily, with cooked agave and grassy mineral character taking center stage at mid-palate. Lemon peel weaves through gentle notes of almond and marshmallow sweetness, while roasted bell pepper and light vanilla add complexity toward the peak.

Finish: Medium in length with a clean, fresh fade. White-pepper sparks and a touch of earthiness close out the sip without bitterness.

How to Drink Teremana Blanco

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the simplest way to appreciate the brick-oven roasted agave character. The crisp citrus profile and clean finish also make this blanco a reliable cocktail workhorse — especially in a 1.75L format built for entertaining. A Margarita benefits from the bright grapefruit and lime notes that naturally echo the classic citrus framework. A Paloma plays well here, as the roasted agave and white-pepper finish complement grapefruit soda without being overshadowed. A Ranch Water lets the mineral, grassy quality shine alongside lime and sparkling water for a low-fuss highball.

Why Teremana Blanco?

The defining differentiator is the fully handmade copper pot stills — crafted by a local artisan on the distillery grounds — which set it apart from competitors relying on stainless steel.

The 94-point Tasting Panel rating and 2022 SFWSC Gold Medal reinforce the quality behind the method. In the 1.75L format, it becomes a practical choice for anyone who wants a legitimate, award-winning blanco they can pour confidently whether neat or shaken into a round of margaritas.
