A world-first fermentation experiment from the highlands of Jalisco, Siempre Exclusivo Muerto Blanco is a limited-release blanco tequila that dares to let the yeast die, rest, and evolve over a three-week "afterlife" before bottling. The result is a 109-proof plata unlike anything else in modern tequila.

Crafted at NOM 1414 under the guidance of Master Distiller Sergio Cruz of the legendary Vivanco family distillery in the Tequila, Jalisco region, Muerto is the latest ultra-limited expression in Siempre's Exclusivo series. Co-founder Alex Lacroix and Cruz drew inspiration from the malolactic fermentation techniques found in fine rum production, coaxing a depth of complexity rarely achieved in an unaged blanco tequila.

• Nose: An exciting blend of jalapeno, spicy pineapple, and green apple, balanced by fresh-cut grass, wet cement, and cayenne pepper, with evolving hints of passionfruit and delicate florals.
• Palate: Bold and complex, revealing a harmony of cooked agave and arugula with layers of tropical fruit upfront, followed by creamy spices and citrus zest that settle into rich, balanced cooked agave flavors.
• Finish: Full-bodied and creamy, the high proof integrates beautifully with the layered flavors for a powerful yet surprisingly smooth finish that lingers long and satisfyingly.

Muerto Blanco holds its own in a spicy Margarita or a bold Paloma, where its natural heat and tropical complexity elevate the drink without losing any of its character neat.

Best enjoyed neat or on a single large ice cube to let the proof open up gradually. Siempre Exclusivo Muerto Blanco is an agave spirit produced in the Tequila, Jalisco region of Mexico and is available in extremely limited quantities.
