Why Terralta Blanco is Special

Terralta Blanco stands out for its exceptional purity and rich, bold flavour profile. This premium tequila is made from 100% handpicked blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, an area known for its mineral-rich soil and ideal growing conditions. The unique deep-well water, sourced from 140 meters underground, contributes to this tequila's smooth and earthy character, setting it apart from other blancos on the market.

The process of creating Terralta Blanco begins with slow-cooked agave in traditional stone ovens, which infuses the tequila with an authentic, earthy taste. The agave is then crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel, which helps extract the purest juice, preserving the essence of the agave. The result is a tequila that captures the heart of Jalisco’s regional character, with vibrant notes of citrus, black pepper, and soft cinnamon heat.

With an ABV of 40%, Terralta Blanco delivers a clean, smooth sip that is perfect for sipping neat, enjoying on the rocks, or mixing in high-end cocktails. Its balance of bold flavors and smooth finish makes it a favorite for those who appreciate premium tequila.

Terralta Blanco's journey of Craftsmanship

Crafted with 100% natural ingredients and no additives, Terralta Blanco Tequila showcases the pure and authentic taste of agave, embodying the unique highland terroir and demonstrating Felipe Camarena's dedication to producing only the highest quality tequila.

Origin:

Felipe Camarena, the "Godfather of Tequila," continues to honor the legacy of his family, combining old-world methods with modern technology. Produced by Felipe's El Pandillo distillery, Terralta's Blanco is known for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship and innovative techniques.

Terralta Blanco Tequila uses high-quality agave grown in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, harvested after 8-10 years and cooked in traditional stone ovens for enhanced flavor. 

The cooked agave is then crushed using a large tahona rolling stone, an old and traditional technique passed down through generations. This process squeezes out the purest juice, preserving the true essence of the agave.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the tequila is double-distilled in copper pot stills, giving it a smooth, clean finish. The water used for distillation is drawn from a deep well located 140 meters below the surface, imparting a mineral-rich quality that enhances the flavor profile of the tequila.

It has received Gold Medal honors at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its exceptional quality and outstanding taste, which has set the standard for the blanco tequila category. This award highlights Terralta's reputation as one of the best blanco tequila makers, known for its vibrant agave flavors, balanced minerality, and refreshing citrus notes.
