Volcán de mi Tierra Blanco

Volcán de mi Tierra Blanco is a tequila blanco made from 100% blue agave in Mexico's Jalisco state, bottled without cask ageing. The brand takes its name from the Tequila Volcano in Jalisco and the volcanic soil created by its eruption hundreds of thousands of years ago.

What makes Volcán Blanco distinctive?

The producer makes this tequila by blending agaves from both the highlands (Los Altos) and lowland valleys (Los Valles) of Jalisco. Valley agave brings a herbal, citrusy, spiced character, while highland agave adds fruity tones such as cherry and pear. The result is a more layered structure than would be expected from a straightforward blanco.

What does Volcán de mi Tierra Blanco taste like?

On the nose, cooked agave, freshly cut grass, rose and grapefruit stand out. On the palate, within a silky texture, black pepper, mint, green apple, cherry and pear notes are detectable. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving agave, a light minerality and a soft spiced touch.

How is it served?

It can be drunk neat in a small tequila glass or over a large ice cube. Its fresh citrus structure also performs well in classic tequila cocktails such as the Margarita and Paloma.

Which foods does it pair with?

Lemony seafood and ceviche-style dishes, spicy Mexican food and fresh green salads accompany this tequila's herbal, citrusy character.
