Manuscrito Blanco Chapter 1 is a story told in agave: a single-estate blanco tequila from the red volcanic highlands of Los Altos that balances sweet cooked agave, bright citrus, and lush vegetal character in one seamless pour.


Crafted by Master Distiller Oscar Vazquez Camarena at the El Sabino distillery in Jesus Maria, Mexico, this Highland blanco begins with 100% Blue Weber agave grown for six to eight years on a single estate, allowing the rich Los Altos terroir to fully express itself in every bottle.


  • Nose: Wet grass, white pepper, lemon zest, fresh mint, and grape over a foundation of sweet cooked agave.
  • Palate: Roasted agave takes center stage alongside bell pepper, citrus, and a gentle herbaceous quality that reflects the volcanic soil of the highlands.
  • Finish: Cool, clean, and vegetal with lingering agave sweetness and a touch of white pepper.

Manuscrito Blanco Chapter 1 shines in a classic Paloma, where its citrus and mineral notes play beautifully against grapefruit, and holds its own in a well-crafted Tommy's Margarita that lets the agave character speak for itself.


Best enjoyed neat or on a large rock to appreciate its full complexity; made from single-estate 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco.

Master Distiller: Oscar Vazquez Camarena
Manuscrito was started by three friends from Wisconsin and is made at El Sabino distillery in Jesús María, in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, at almost 7,000 feet. Master distiller Oscar Vazquez Camarena works with single-estate blue Weber agave grown 6 to 8 years, slow cooked at least two days in stone-brick ovens and crushed with a four-part roller mill. Fermentation runs in open-air steel tanks with native yeast, followed by double distillation in copper pots. Each release is a numbered chapter, bottled at 42.5% or 51.55% ABV.
LOCATION

Jesús María, Jalisco

Jesús María sits at about 2,100 meters in Los Altos de Jalisco, southeast of Arandas on the border with Guanajuato, which makes it one of the higher tequila towns in the state. The plateau's red, clay-rich soils and temperate climate, with frost on some winter nights, let blue agave mature slowly and develop a sweet, fruity character. Agave is a major crop here, and tequila making is one of the main sources of work in the municipality.
