Tapatio Blanco 110
50cl - 55% ABV
A special release of Tapatio's unaged blanco tequila, bottled at a higher strength of 55% ABV (110 proof). Blanco 110 is beautifully concentrated in flavour, with notes of cooked agave, anise, pepper, cinnamon, apple and smoke. This intense profile was developed specifically for use in cocktails, as the tequila shines through even when mixed with other flavourful ingredients. However, its aromatic complexity also makes for excellent sipping, both neat and on the rocks.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet and savoury peppers - roasted capsicum and non-spicy padron. There is spiciness, but it comes from white pepper, the traditional agave hit, and is balanced by an underlying sweetness, which is almost white chocolate like.
Palate
Thick and oily on the palate, with a spicy kick to start – black pepper and chilli. With that comes sweet, roasted agave, cinnamon toast (with singed edges) and a surprisingly rich grape and sultana fruitiness.
Finish
The peppers from the nose return, turning from sweet to dry.
Comment
A big, rich and surprisingly complex spirit, especially considering that it is fresh from the still. The extra strength over the blanco allows the flavours to sing.
