Fuenteseca Cosecha 2015 Blanco
Fuenteseca · Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (NOM 1146)
A cerebral blanco that rewards slow sipping — proof that clarity in the glass can still carry remarkable depth in the mouth.
Nose
Bright cooked agave leads, then opens into candied grapefruit peel, fresh mint, and a whisper of wet river stone; a subtle white pepper spice hums beneath.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied for a blanco — roasted agave sweetness rides alongside green apple, lime pith, and a savory olive-brine mineral streak. Mid-palate reveals cracked pepper and a touch of sage.
Finish
Long, dry, and elegantly warm, with lingering agave fiber, citrus oil, and a faint herbaceous cool-down.

Cocktail Suggestion
The Clear Reckoning — 2 oz Fuenteseca Cosecha 2015 Blanco, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz Cocchi Americano, 0.25 oz agave syrup, 2 dashes celery bitters. Shake with ice, strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with a grapefruit twist expressed and dropped.
Food Pairing
Aguachile verde with shrimp, cucumber, and serrano — the tequila's mineral streak amplifies the raw seafood while its cooked-agave sweetness tempers the chile heat.
Crafted at the historic NOM 1146 distillery under the exacting eye of master distiller Enrique Fonseca, the Fuenteseca Cosecha series bottles single-vintage blancos with the kind of terroir specificity usually reserved for grand cru wines.
