Quarter Proof Blanco Agave Spirit

This lighter agave spirit shines in citrus-forward cocktails where you want that authentic tequila character without overpowering the mix, making it perfect for warm-weather sipping on patios and pairing beautifully with fresh ceviche, grilled fish tacos, or spicy Mexican cuisine that won't be drowned out by high-proof spirits.

Nose: Fresh-cut grass and raw agave lead, backed by earthy notes that recall damp soil after rain. A gentle peppery spice emerges, along with subtle citrus peel and a whisper of smoke. The lighter alcohol content lets the vegetal agave character shine through without harsh fumes.

Palate: Cooked agave sweetness hits first, similar to roasted pineapple but more herbaceous. Orange zest brightness cuts through the middle, while black pepper warmth builds gradually on the tongue. There's a pleasant mineral quality and light smokiness that adds depth without overwhelming. The 15% ABV creates a softer, more approachable mouthfeel than traditional tequila while maintaining authentic agave flavor.

Finish: Medium length with lingering pepper spice and citrus zest. The habanero influence shows up as gentle warmth rather than heat, accompanied by earthy agave and faint smoke. Clean and dry, with just enough grip to remind you it's a proper spirit, even at lower proof.

Quarter Proof Blanco Agave Spirit uses an innovative fractionation process that extracts 65% more flavor compounds from Mexican agave than traditional distillation methods, breaking down the distillate into 70 separate components before blending and diluting to a lighter 15% ABV that delivers full tequila character at just 30 proof.

• Quarter Proof uses a centrifuge-like "cone" to fractionate flavor molecules, pulling 65% more volatile compounds than traditional distillation—meaning you get bolder agave, pepper, and citrus notes at just 15% ABV than most full-strength tequilas deliver at 40%.
• The distillation process breaks the "heart" of the spirit into 70 separate components before blending, giving the distillers surgical precision to craft flavor—like a DJ with 70 tracks instead of just bass, midrange, and treble.
• Despite being called a tequila alternative, Quarter Proof Blanco starts with genuine agave imported directly from Tequila, Mexico, then gets "quartered" from 60% ABV down to 15%—so you're drinking real agave spirit, just dialed back to session strength.
