One of the first high-proof tequilas ever brought to market, Tapatio High Proof Blanco set the standard that every bold-proof blanco has chased since. Crafted by master distiller Felipe Camarena in the highland region of Arandas, Los Altos, this is a benchmark bottle for agave enthusiasts and serious bartenders alike.


Produced under NOM 1139, Tapatio Blanco comes from the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, where the red clay soil and high elevation yield agave with a distinctly sweet, mineral-rich character. Felipe Camarena's commitment to traditional production shines through in every pour, delivering an intensity that is bold without sacrificing clarity or craft.


  • Nose: Cooked agave, spicy pepper, and bright lemon zest
  • Palate: Agave-forward with a warm, high-proof presence on the approach, followed by dry earth, white flowers, meyer lemon, and a touch of fresh mint
  • Finish: Quick, citrusy, and spicy

The intensity and agave-rich character of Tapatio High Proof Blanco make it an exceptional choice for cocktails that demand a spirit that can hold its own, from a classic Margarita to a bold Paloma.


Best enjoyed in cocktails where proof and personality matter, this highland blanco tequila is made from 100% blue weber agave grown in Arandas, Los Altos, Jalisco.

Tasting Notes

Tapatío is made at La Alteña, the Camarena family distillery founded in 1937 in the highlands of Arandas, Jalisco (NOM 1139), where Jenny Camarena is now master distiller. First sold in 1940, it is still produced in small batches the traditional way. Highland agave is cooked in stone ovens, crushed by tahona and roller mill, and fermented in wooden vats with the agave fibers. Every expression is distilled twice in small copper pot stills, and the Blanco 110 is bottled at 110 proof for more flavor and less water.

Arandas, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Arandas marked

Arandas sits at about 2,000 meters in Los Altos de Jalisco, the highland plateau east of Guadalajara. Its red, clay-rich soils and mild, temperate climate let blue agave grow slowly and build up sugar, the source of the sweet, fruity and floral style the Highlands are known for. Agave fields cover much of the municipality, and Arandas is one of the busiest tequila-making towns in Mexico. The town is also known for its giant church bell, often called the largest in Latin America.
