Tapatío Tequila Blanco Review
Yet another tequila on this list produced by the Camarena family at La Alteña, and imported by famed California craft distillery Charbay, this is one of the true stalwarts in the tequila game. It’s clean and crisp, with the flavors of cooked agave, citrus zest, and just a hint of pepper and cinnamon. No frills and authoritative in flavor, it lets you know it’s there.
