About the Product
El Tequileño Platinum Blanco is made from 100% agave from the Tequileño distillery’s own fields in the highlands of Jalisco. It is aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of 14 days before bottling. It can be enjoyed on its own or in a cocktail – it’s phenomenal in a margarita!
El Tequileño Platinum Blanco is a so-called blanco tequila, and is therefore either unaged or only aged for a very short period. Blanco tequila is usually very clean in taste and characterized by the natural taste of agave.
El Tequileño Platinum Blanco is released at an ABV of 40%.
About El Tequileno
Tequileño is one of the most highly respected and popular premium tequila brands in the world. And not without reason – the distillery was founded in 1959 by Don Jorge Salles Cuervo in the city of Tequila, Mexico. The distillery took its name from the town – a name that is not entirely accidental. Because the town of Tequila is the place where the agave-based spirit was first distilled, and it is also where the drink gets its name.
In addition to this historical heritage, Tequileño is also special in that it is one of the very few tequila distilleries that releases its tequila under its own name. Normally in the tequila industry, the distilleries sell their tequila to independent bottlers, who then sell it under their own name. Tequileño handles the entire process himself – from planting and harvesting the blue agave, to mixing and bottling the final tequila drink.
Tequileño today publishes a number of different tequilas: Under the 1959 premium line you will find classics such as blanco, reposado, cristalino and añejo; and for those who want a more economical and drinks-focused alternative, you will find a blanco and reposado.
