Tezon Olmeca Blanco Tequila Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh and salty with a hint of ginger spice.
Palate: Clean with creamy mouth feel, white pepper and salt spiciness with subtle hints of lime zest, herbs (mint, basil) and grass.
Finish: Long finish is also very clean with lasting pepper spice. This spicy tequila has pronounced peppery notes with subtle agave character present throughout.
Distillery Information
Destilería Colonial de Jalisco (Olmeca’s distillery) was built to replicate production at Siete Leguas which at that time was making Patrón using a combination of crushing by traditional tahona wheel and modern rolling mill, so unusually the new distillery was built with traditional masonry ovens and both old and new methods of crushing the piña. The loss of Patrón left the tahona wheel and the specially commissioned small stills designed to distil with the plant fibres from the millstone practically redundant. Operational tahona wheels are rare in tequila production and practically unknown in modern distilleries so Olmeca’s Tezón brand was created to use rare and very special pieces of equipment.
