Volcan de mi Tierra Blanco is made from 100% blue agave, unaged, and bottled at 40% ABV. The distiller has created a tequila with a nose that is fresh and aromatic, with scents of fruit like apple and even pineapple, I thought. This is balanced by a tang of saltiness and a peppery aroma.

Sipping the tequila, it manages to be both smooth and fiery, with the pepper on the nose turning into a spicier hint of jalapeno. There’s the citrus and spice which is typical of lowland agave, while the highland plants bring fruits like peach and pineapple to the mix.
