Primo 1861 Blanco Review
This fine blanco opens up with intense aromatic notes of fruit, pepper, and an underlying, subtle sweetness. Produced using small-batch, traditional methods, and made with nothing other than yeast, water, and agave, Primo 1861 blanco is one of the most expressive tequilas we tasted for this roundup, which more than justifies its elevated pricepoint (in our opinion).
