More questions
Ollitas Blanco from the house of Orendain surprises with the clarity and freshness of its aromatic profile: on the nose there are green, vegetal notes of young agave, ripe citrus and a herbaceous hint that keeps the sip lively. The opening is clean, with a well-measured alcoholic sharpness that leaves room for a pleasant savoriness and a slight final spiciness. Overall it offers a direct and transparent character, suited to those who appreciate contemporarily styled spirits without excesses.
On the palate it reveals a balanced texture, with enough roundness to avoid austerity and a persistence that recalls citrus and a touch of white pepper. It works well both in cocktails, where it maintains clarity and personality, and enjoyed neat at a moderate temperature to catch the finer details. Pair it with simple, flavorful dishes such as grilled fish, ceviche or light tacos to highlight the freshness and cleanliness of the sip.

The story
The Orendain family has been involved in tequila production for many decades; their historic distillery, known as La Mexicana, is reported as operating since 1926. In the 1990s the family developed special reserves that led to the commercialization of premium expressions such as Gran Orendain. Over time the group has consolidated several brands including Gran Orendain, Orendain, Ollitas and Batanga.
Distillation
Two-stage process (first distillation to obtain a liquid around 20% vol., then rectification/second distillation up to about 55% vol. for the Blanco); use of traditional stills (copper stills are cited for some expressions) and triple distillation for the Ollitas brand.
Ageing
Ageing in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. Declared times on the site vary by category: reposado (2 to 11 months), añejo (12–35 months), extra añejo (over 36 months); specific examples: Gran Orendain Reposado ~8 months, Añejo ~18 months, Extra Añejo 3 years (36 months) and 7 years (84 months).
