Named for General Enrique Gorostieta, the celebrated military leader who shaped Mexican history on the eve of revolution, this highland blanco from Arandas arrives sealed beneath a metallic cork bearing the imperial eagle of the Escudo Nacional Mexicano, the national emblem active at the very moment Gorostieta entered the Heroico Colegio Militar. Confirmed Additive Free by Tequila Matchmaker, it delivers the clean, expressive character that defines the best of highland tequila.

Produced at Viva Mexico Distillery under NOM 1414 in the Arandas highlands of Jalisco, General Gorostieta Blanco draws its bold, agave-forward profile from the region's high-altitude blue agave, where mineral-rich red clay soils and cool nights concentrate flavor in the pinas before they ever reach the distillery.

• Nose: Black pepper, cooked agave, and salted caramel
• Palate: Tropical fruit backed by assertive agave, light black pepper and floral notes, with subtle minerality
• Finish: Bright, sweet, and lasting

The bold pepper and agave backbone make General Gorostieta Blanco a natural fit for a classic Margarita or a Paloma, where its minerality and tropical fruit notes shine without being overwhelmed by other ingredients.

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complexity; made from 100% blue agave grown in the highlands of Arandas, Jalisco.
