Bottled directly from the still at 100 proof, El Tequileno Still Strength Blanco delivers the full, uncut character of highland agave tequila exactly as Master Distiller Tony Salles intended. This is Blanco tequila in its most honest, expressive form.


Crafted at NOM 1108 in the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, this additive-free expression is produced using traditional methods that have defined the El Tequileno legacy for three generations. Volcanic spring water from the Volcan de Tequila feeds the process, while highland agave is slow-cooked in autoclaves, fermented in open tanks, and distilled through copper pot stills before resting in pipones. Nearly all distillery and field byproduct is reclaimed, making El Tequileno one of the most sustainability-forward producers in the region.


  • Nose: Rich cooked agave, roasted fig, and bright orange zest.
  • Palate: Roasted agave, delicate floral notes, lemon peel, and a touch of white pepper spice.
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering agave and spice.

The bold, unfiltered intensity of this still strength Blanco makes it an exceptional base for a classic Tommy's Margarita or a Paloma, where its weight and pepper-driven depth hold beautifully against citrus and sweetness.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the complexity unfold gradually. Produced from highland blue Weber agave in the Tequila, Jalisco region.

Don Jorge Salles Cuervo founded El Tequileño in 1959 at La Guarreña, his distillery in the town of Tequila, and his grandson Tony Salles is master distiller today. Highland agave from Los Altos is cooked in autoclaves with the bitter cogollo cut away, then milled with mineral-rich spring water that flows from the Volcán de Tequila. The juice ferments in open concrete vats under 150-year-old mango trees and is distilled only in copper pot stills. In 1961 the bar La Capilla chose El Tequileño Blanco for its Batanga, and it is still the only tequila in that drink.
LOCATION

Tequila, Jalisco

Tequila is the town that gave the spirit its name, set at about 1,180 meters in the valley below the Tequila volcano, some 60 km northwest of Guadalajara. Blue agave covers the volcanic soils between the volcano and the canyon of the Río Grande de Santiago, a landscape UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006. Large-scale agave distilling began here around 1600, and several of the oldest working distilleries in Mexico still operate in town. Tequila was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2003.
