Volcán De Mi Tierra Blanco Tequila
Volcán De Mi Tierra · NOM 1523 (Volcán de Mi Tierra)
Volcán Blanco is tequila that wears its terroir. Made from agave grown in the rich volcanic soils near the Volcán de Tequila, it balances sweetness and minerality with precision. This is a blanco that works beautifully in cocktails but has enough complexity to sip on its own.
Nose
Bright cooked agave and fresh citrus — lime zest and grapefruit — open immediately. Behind the brightness sits green herb, a delicate floral quality, and a clean minerality that speaks to the volcanic soil of its origin.
Palate
Medium-bodied with a creamy texture. Cooked agave sweetness and white pepper drive the front palate, followed by herbal notes of thyme and a squeeze of lime. A mineral backbone runs throughout, giving structure to the fruit and vegetal notes.
Finish
Clean and peppery with lingering agave and a mineral echo. Surprisingly long for a blanco, with a final note of citrus pith.

Food Pairing
The tequila's citrus and mineral profile aligns perfectly with the acidity of lime-cured fish, while the pepper mirrors the heat of serrano chile.
Produced at the foot of the Volcán de Tequila in Jalisco, this blanco uses agave from both lowland and highland plots, blending two terroirs shaped by ancient volcanic activity.

123 Añejo Tequila (Tres)
