Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila

Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila, nicknamed "The Orange Blossom Special," is a 48% ABV spirit distilled at the highest altitude of any tequila in Mexico (9,000 feet in Sierra del Tigre, Jalisco), which creates a remarkably smooth and complex profile despite its robust proof. Crafted from certified organic Blue Weber agave using traditional methods—including 72-hour brick oven cooking, tahona stone milling, and wild fermentation with ambient yeasts—this additive-free tequila delivers an intriguing balance of sweet and savory notes, from bright citrus and orange cream aromatics to sophisticated layers of pepper, minerals, and cooked agave on the palate. It's ideal for those seeking a bold, nuanced sipping tequila or a standout ingredient for premium cocktails that demands attention without compromise on quality or tradition.

Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila is crafted from 100% certified organic Blue Weber agave at the world's highest-altitude distillery in Sierra del Tigre, Jalisco (9,000 feet), under Maestro Tequilero Juan Reyes at NOM 1636. Agaves are slow-cooked for 72 hours in brick ovens, crushed by traditional stone tahona, spontaneously fermented for 80 hours with ambient yeasts and fibers in open-air wooden tanks, then double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled unaged straight from the still at 48% ABV (96 proof), it's verified additive-free, delivering a bold yet smooth profile thanks to high-altitude evaporation.

Brash and aromatic with orange zest, whipping cream, nectarine, marjoram, roasted yellow squash, pencil shavings, lavender, vanilla, lemon citrus, flint, perfume, and oregano.

Rich and silky with parsnip, fennel seed, fried chicken, paprika, granite dust, powdered milk chocolate, black pepper, sweet roasted agave, pear, rose petals, salinity, cooked agave, citrus, minerals, and moist soil.

Long and lingering with returning black pepper, milk chocolate, though some note it quick and brief.

This tequila stands out as a high-wire act of sweet-savory balance, produced at extreme elevation where lower pressures yield smoother distillation and unique endemic yeast flavors. Certified organic, additive-free, and Jay Kosher, its craft methods—like tahona milling and wild malolactic fermentation—preserve agave integrity for nuanced complexity. Ideal for sipping neat or shining boldly in cocktails, it reinvents tradition with "Tequila de Altura" purity.

Sip neat or with a splash of water to unlock its bold nuances, perfect for savoring the high-altitude smoothness. It excels in mixology, elevating cocktails like margaritas or palomas where its 48% proof and peppery punch cut through mixers. Serve chilled in a Glencairn glass to amplify aromas, or pair with spicy tacos for a vibrant contrast.
