Mijenta Blanco Tequila
Mijenta · Destilería Mijenta (NOM 1607)
Mijenta Blanco is a thoughtfully crafted tequila that reflects the sustainable ethos of master distiller Ana María Romero Mena. The spirit balances approachability with genuine complexity — cooked agave sweetness never descends into flatness, and the citrus-mineral interplay keeps things lively. Excellent sipped neat or in a refined cocktail.
Nose
Fresh cooked agave dominates, with bright citrus notes of lime and grapefruit. Delicate white floral aromas and a clean mineral quality lift the nose without competing.
Palate
Silky entry with sweet cooked agave, tropical fruit notes of pear and green apple, and a gentle herbaceous quality. A subtle white pepper thread adds structure to the mid-palate.
Finish
Clean and medium, with lingering agave sweetness and a whisper of mineral earth.

The 18-month rest in American white oak barrels stamps this tequila with rich caramel and spice while the certified-organic agave foundation remains clearly legible beneath the barrel's notation. An excellent value añejo that punches well above its price point.
