Destileria Santanera Tahona Review
A blanco that performs well on its own, over ice, or in any number of cocktails, Destileria Santanera's Tahona is savory and peppery with a luscious texture, thanks, in part, to its 41 percent ABV content. There are, of course, more affordable high-quality blancos that offer better bang for buck. But for agave purists for whom count money as no object, it’s a must-buy.
