Review: CaliFino Blanco Tequila

by Jeff Ellingson

The idea for CaliFino Tequila started in 1975 when Don Jose Luna would travel to the Arandas Highlands in Jalisco to acquire moonshine style tequila to bring back and share with family and friends.  By 2014 his Grandson, Former San Diego Sockers Professional soccer player Miquel Luna teamed with his Head Coach and longtime friend Phil Salvagio to create their own tequila brand based on the unlabeled tequila his father would carry in Manzanita Apple Soda jugs across the Mexican border to San Diego.  They worked with Grupo Tequilero Mexico to create the Califino brand.  In May 2018 they released CaliFino Reposdo, Anejo, and Extra Anejo.  CaliFIno Blanco was introduced July 2020.  CaliFino is one of 13 tequila brands crafted at Grupo Tequilero Mexico.  Some of the other brands produced at this distillery include Alquimia, Bandero, and Lalo.  CaliFino is made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Highland Region of Los Altos.  The trimmed pina’s are roasted in red brick ovens for 48 hours.  Once extracted the juice if fermented for 200 hours in open steel tanks.  After a double distillation the tequila is hand bottled, labeled, and corked.  The agave fiber taken from the the crushed pinas is used to wrap around the tequila bottles neck.  The aroma leads with vanilla and fresh cooked agave.  The sweet agave entry is joined by vanilla building to a lime, vanilla bean, and buttery agave peak.  It fades with earthy agave, citrus, and orange peel, finishing dry with roasted agave, white pepper, mineral, and vanilla taste.  CaliFino Blanco carries vanilla and agave flavor from start to finish with citrus, orange peel, and a sprinkle of pepper joining in between.  A uniquely dry finish serves as a exclamation point.
