123 Organic Blanco (Uno) Tequila 750ml

123 Organic Tequila was founded by David Ravandi, who set out to make an organic tequila brand pronounced Uno, Dos, Tres, with the Blanco, labeled Uno, serving as the mother spirit behind the brand's Reposado and Añejo expressions. Production is centered in Amatitán, Jalisco, under NOM 1480, and the brand is certified organic by both the USDA and the EU, a designation that shapes every stage of how the tequila is grown and made.

This blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown organically in the Tequila Valley lowlands, farmed and harvested without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or heavy mechanical equipment. The agave is left to mature for up to ten years before hand harvest, then the hearts are slow cooked in traditional stone ovens for nearly two days to concentrate their flavor. After the juice is pressed and naturally fermented, the spirit is double distilled in small batches and bottled unaged, with every bottle made from recycled glass and labeled using soy ink on recycled paper.

The nose offers cooked agave, cracked pepper, and ripe fruit, sometimes with light floral notes of lily and honeysuckle. On the palate the tequila is earthy and mineral driven, layering green and cooked agave with bright lemon, black pepper, and building spice, finishing dry and oily with a lasting, spicy edge.
