Review: Tapatio Blanco Tequila

by Jeff Ellingson

Tapatio Blanco Tequila is crafted at La Altena Distillery in the mountainous region of Jalisco.  This distillery was built by Don Felipe Camarena in 1937.  Tapatio is a Mexican word referring to a man from Guadalajara Mexico.  Today Tapatio tequila is made by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, the grandson of Don Felipe.  While Tapatio tequila had been very popular in Mexico for 75 years, it was not released in the US until 2012.  Since then, Tapatio Blanco has won several awards and was selected as one of the top 18 tequilas by Men’s Journal.  Tapatio is made from 100% Arandas estate grown agave.  After slow roasting for four days, the agave is crushed with a traditional large stone Tahona wheel, fermented with a wild yeast culture dating back 80 years, double distilled in a small copper pot still, and then rested for 2 months in stainless steel tanks before it is bottled.       The aroma is earthy agave, olive, black pepper, and pear.  The sweet agave entry is semidry with a pear backing.  There is a nice oily mouth feel.  It builds to an earthy, herbal agave, zucchini, and blackberry peak, before fading with mineral and a sprinkle of black pepper.  The dry finish has mild warmth with citrus and mint flavor.  This is a very smooth tequila with far less heat and pepper than I was lead to believe.
