Lalo High Proof Blanco Tequila 2025 Release
LALO High Proof Blanco is a bolder incarnation of their original blanco. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), this limited-edition expression ramps up the intensity and flavor depth, while staying true to what makes LALO tequila stand out: pure agave profile, clarity, and additive-free production. It’s excellent neat or in spirit-forward cocktails where you want more agave potency.
Origins & Craftsmanship
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Distillery / Brand | LALO Tequila — a brand focused on blanco-only tequila with minimal intervention. |
| ABV / Proof | 100 proof / 50% ABV — substantially higher than their standard blanco (40% / 80 proof). |
| Tequila Style | Blanco / Plata — no barrel aging, pure blanco characteristics. |
| Ingredients | 100% mature Blue Weber Agave, deep-well water, Champagne yeast. No additives. |
| Distillation & Fermentation | Twice distilled; open-air fermentation; still copper pot / stainless steel in parts; Los Altos Jalisco region. |
Tasting Profile
| Sense | Notes |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear, bright blanco with perhaps a slight heat “hang” in the mouth that hints of richness behind the clarity. |
| Nose / Aroma | Strong cooked agave, citrus zest (lime, orange), floral/mineral notes, black pepper, a touch of spice (cinnamon or clove). More intense than the standard blanco. |
| Palate / Taste | Bold agave flavor, citrus (lime, maybe grapefruit), creamy honeydew or melon, herbal and vegetal touches, pepper & warm spice; good mouthfeel—richer and thicker than the lighter 80 proof versions. |
| Finish | Long and warming; peppery, with lingering citrus & herbal tones, and a clean mineral or vegetal aftertaste. |
Strengths & What It Offers
-
Intensity: At 108 proof, it preserves much more of the agave and fermentation character. You feel the backbone and structure.
-
Purity: Additive-free production and blanco form mean nothing masks the agave or terroir.
-
Versatility: Works great neat, with a drop of water or large ice cube, and also in cocktails where agave needs to shine (e.g. tequila old fashioned, blanco negroni, elevated Paloma).
-
Value: For tequila lovers who want something more expressive than standard blancos, this is seen by many reviewers as a strong value in the high-proof space.
