Tequila Blanco 100cl - El Tequileno represents an authentic expression of the Mexican terroir, produced in respect of the centuries-old traditions of the Jalisco region. Made exclusively with blue agave cultivated in volcanic soils, this tequila clearly and freshly expresses the distinctive characteristics of the grape variety. Not subjected to aging, it retains intact the citrus and vegetal scents, with clear notes of white pepper and fresh citrus fruits that blend with a pleasant herbaceous and aniseed aroma.
The distillation takes place in copper stills, imparting a purity and softness that well balance the lively and slightly spicy structure on the palate. This Blanco is clear and bright, ideal for those who love an authentic, versatile, and straightforward tequila.
Perfect to enjoy neat or on the rocks, it finds excellent pairings in classic cocktails like the Margarita, but also pairs well with spicy dishes of Mexican cuisine, such as tacos and ceviche, enriching the experience with its vibrant freshness and aromatic persistence typical of the Jalisco territory.

The story
The brand's official history begins on January 1, 1959, when Don Jorge Salles Cuervo founded El Tequileño in the city of Tequila, Jalisco. Production remained family-linked in subsequent years; technical management and the role of Master Distiller were passed down to later generations. In 2017 the brand was acquired by Paradise Spirits and from 2018 expansion projects began, including the construction of Casa Salles Hotel Boutique, inaugurated in 2019.
Distillation
Distillation in copper stills; documented practices of double distillation for commercial expressions.
Ageing
Exposure and maturation in wooden casks for aged expressions; different types of wood and barrel sizes are used depending on the expression (some sources report rests in American oak for specific labels). For the Reposado, short aging intervals are reported (e.g. some product sheets indicate 2–12 months).
