Review: UNI Organic Blanco Tequila
Uni Tequila was founded in 2020 by Metta Risdal who grew up in Lindesnes, on the Southern most coast of Norway. Metta left Norway and moved to London and then New York where she worked as a bartender at both locations. After several visits to Mexico she fell in love with the people, food, and tequila and later moved to Puerto Vallarta Mexico where she visited dozens of distilleries researching tequila harvesting and distilling. She partnered with Tequila Las Americas to produce her tequila. Tequila Las Americas currently produces tequila for 39 brands including Solento, Don Abraham, Casa Azul, 123 Organic, and Tequila Cabal. They currently make UNI Blanco and UNI Anejo. UNI Blanco is crafted from 100% estate grown organic blue agave and once the spirit is distilled it rests for nearly 2 months in oak barrels before botting. The aroma leads with vanilla, floral, lime, and agave. Additional time brings out Andes Mint. The citrus, floral and agave entry builds to an orange blossom and agave peak. It fades with citrus, and vanilla, and finishes with floral perfume, lime, York Peppermint Patties.
