Mexa Tequila Tahona Blanco Review
From the lowland valleys (or “valles”) of Jalisco, this tahona-crushed blanco is an amazing ambassador for slowing things down, being more hands-on, and basking in the pronounced juicy berry aromas and flavors that can result from doing all of the above in this region. Violet aromas make their presence fully known, along with a hint of minerality. Bright, energetic, with a subtle core of sweet agave, it surely owes some of its intensity and definition to its 48-percent ABV bottling strength.
