Drawn from a deep well at 150 meters beneath the highlands of Jesus Maria, Jalisco, Terralta Blanco is a tequila defined by its water as much as its agave. Fourth-generation Master Distiller Felipe Camarena crafts this additive-free blanco to let the land speak clearly in every sip.


Produced at NOM 1579 and verified additive free by Tequila Matchmaker, Terralta Blanco is made from 100% blue agave and bottled at 80 proof. The deep well water source is the quiet force behind its distinctly mineral, earthy character, setting it apart from the sweeter highland blancos that dominate the category.


  • Nose: Earth and minerality open the glass, followed by warm cooked agave and a lift of fresh citrus.
  • Palate: Slate and earth lead, shaped by the deep well water source, with peppery heat, cooked agave, and a bright finish of citrus, mint, and tarragon.
  • Finish: Long and well-oiled, with a satisfying mouthfeel that lingers beautifully between sips.

Terralta Blanco holds its own over ice or neat, and its mineral backbone makes it a natural fit for a classic Paloma or a clean, spirit-forward Tequila Soda where nothing gets in the way of the agave.


Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its depth. Terralta Blanco is a 100% blue agave tequila from Jesus Maria, Jalisco, crafted by one of Mexico's most respected distilling families.

Terralta is made by Felipe Camarena at Destilería El Pandillo, NOM 1579, in Jesús María, high in the Jalisco Highlands. Highland agave is cooked for 22 hours in stone ovens, then crushed by Frankenstein, a mechanical tahona Felipe built from junkyard railway parts. The juice ferments with wild yeast and is distilled twice in copper stills, using deep well water drawn from about 150 meters down. Felipe, a civil engineer by training, believes good water matters as much as good agave. Nothing is added.

LOCATION

Jesús María, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Jesús María marked

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.
