Crafted in tribute to the original high-proof tequilas that defined the spirit's storied past, the Atanasio Origenes Blanco is a small-batch expression made by Maestro Tequilero Rene Carranza that was once available only at the distillery itself. Oxygenated and bottled at proof to preserve its raw, agave-forward character, this is tequila the way it was always meant to be made.Produced at NOM 1599 in San Pedro de los Landeros, Jalisco, this blanco is the work of a single master distiller dedicated to honoring traditional methods without compromise. Hand-crafted in small batches, the Origenes expression reflects both the terroir of its Jalisco homeland and Carranza's commitment to coaxing every ounce of agave character from the process. Nose: Vibrant green and cooked agave lead the way, with earthy funk and a pleasant herbality threading through the background. Palate: A warm heat opens alongside a whisper of smoke, giving way to white pepper, roasted agave sweetness, fresh citrus, and clean herbal notes with a touch of ethanol. Finish: Bright and lively with a satisfying heat that lingers alongside a long, sweet agave fade. The Atanasio Origenes Blanco is an excellent choice for a classic Paloma, where its citrus and herbal backbone can shine, and it holds its own beautifully in a well-built Tommy's Margarita.Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complexity. A high-proof blanco tequila crafted from agave in San Pedro de los Landeros, Jalisco.
