Rediscovering Excellence: El Mexicano Tequila's Triumphant Return

July 1, 2025 Jason Baer

🎉 The Underrated Tequila Making a Comeback!

There's a revolution brewing in the world of tequila, and it's led by none other than El Mexicano. Known for its roots in tradition and the acclaimed expertise of the Banuelos family, El Mexicano is making its grand re-entrance into the U.S market. Here's what you need to know about this additive-free blanco that’s stealing the spotlight once again.

🔍 What Makes El Mexicano Stand Out

After over 50 years of honed craft and excellence, El Mexicano is relaunching with a fresh look that mirrors its timeless quality. It’s all about craftsmanship here, with a focus on authenticity and purity:

Slow Fermentation: Patience is key. The agave is carefully fermented over seven days, allowing flavors to develop naturally and deeply.
Mozart Method: Yes, you read that right. The fermentation process is accompanied by classical music, encouraging a harmonious environment for the yeast 🎻.
Taste and Texture: At 40% ABV, El Mexicano offers a plush, syrupy mouthfeel that defies the typical lightness of a blanco, bringing a rich experience usually reserved for more aged spirits.

And the best part? The pricing. At just $40 f o r t h e b l a n c o a n d$ 50 for the high proof, it’s a steal for such unparalleled quality.

🍋 Tasting Notes

Prepare your palate for an adventure. Herbal and vegetal notes dominate the initial taste, beautifully complemented by refreshing hints of melon. The finish? Long and satisfying, leaving an impression that is both memorable and complex—qualities you won’t find in your average blanco.
