Murcielago Blanco is a small batch premium tequila crafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, and built around a bright, agave forward profile. Its name means bat in Spanish, a nod to the long nosed bats that are the natural pollinators of the blue agave, and the striking bat and agave emblem on the label celebrates that essential bond between the creature and the plant. Made from 100 percent pure blue agave grown in the mineral rich red clay soils of Los Altos, the southern highlands region prized for producing floral, fruit forward tequila, it is distilled in small batches for a clean, refined character. As a blanco, or silver, it is unaged and bottled shortly after distillation, so nothing stands between you and the true expression of the agave. It pours crystal clear and opens with a fresh, herbal aroma of cooked agave, citrus, white pepper and gentle floral notes typical of a fine highland blanco. The palate is smooth and agave forward, weaving sweet cooked agave, lime and grapefruit citrus, subtle black pepper spice and a soft, clean minerality, and the finish is crisp and gently warming with lingering agave sweetness. Bottled at 40 percent alcohol by volume, it is versatile and endlessly drinkable, superb sipped neat or on the rocks to appreciate its purity, and equally at home anchoring a top shelf margarita, Paloma or agave forward cocktail. For anyone who loves a bright, clean, agave driven highland blanco, Murcielago delivers craftsmanship and character at an approachable price.
