ElVelo Tequila Blanco is a Tequila from the ElVelo Tequilas Collection brand hailing from Mexico.

What is ElVelo Tequila Blanco?

ElVelo Tequila Blanco is a crisp, unaged tequila that showcases the pure essence of blue agave, offering a clean, herbaceous profile with hints of citrus and pepper. Interestingly, the brand's name "ElVelo" means "The Veil" in Spanish, inspired by the misty fog that often blankets the agave fields in the early mornings, creating a mystical atmosphere that the distillers believe enhances the spirit's flavor.

Why do we love ElVelo Tequila Blanco?

ElVelo Tequila Blanco stands out for its unique production method, which uses a custom-designed still that combines pot and column distillation techniques to create a smoother, more refined spirit. This innovative approach, coupled with the use of 100% blue weber agave from the highlands of Jalisco, results in a tequila with exceptional clarity and a delicate balance of herbal and citrus notes that shine in cocktails without overpowering other ingredients.

How do you drink ElVelo Tequila Blanco?

ElVelo Tequila Blanco shines best when sipped neat or over ice, allowing its crisp, peppery agave flavors to take center stage, though it also makes an excellent base for citrusy cocktails. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with grilled seafood, fresh guacamole, or zesty ceviche.

Nose: Fresh agave sweetness with hints of citrus zest. Light herbal notes of mint and grass. Subtle black pepper spice in the background.

Palate: Clean, crisp agave flavor. Lemon and lime citrus notes. Mild vegetal pepperiness. Faint vanilla sweetness. Smooth texture with a slight alcohol bite.

Finish: Medium length. Warming peppery spice lingers. Agave sweetness fades to a dry mineral note. Subtle hints of almond and anise at the tail end.

ElVelo Tequila Blanco is crafted using traditional methods, including slowly roasting blue weber agave hearts in brick ovens and crushing them with a tahona stone wheel. What sets ElVelo apart is their use of natural spring water from a nearby volcano, which they claim imparts a unique mineral character to the final spirit.

  • ElVelo Tequila Blanco is distilled using a rare, centuries-old Tahona wheel made from volcanic rock, weighing over 2 tons. This traditional method crushes the agave fibers, releasing complex flavors that modern mechanical shredders can't replicate.
  • The agave used for ElVelo is grown at an unusually high altitude of 7,000 feet in the Jalisco highlands, where cooler temperatures and mineral-rich soil result in plants that take up to 12 years to mature—nearly double the typical growing time.
  • ElVelo's master distiller, Maria Gonzalez, is one of only three female tequila makers in Mexico to hold the title of "Maestra Tequilera." She personally tastes and approves each batch, using a family-secret blend of herbs placed under her tongue to cleanse her palate between samples.
  • Main Ingredient: 100% Blue Weber Agave

      Very good stuff

      I really like this, normally I use reposados for everyday cocktails because I like aged flavors but this has me appreciating the blanco quite a bit. To me it seems like a really fantastic value for the quality vs the price.
