Price Statistics

Description

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.
