Corazon Tequila Blanco 700ml

Corazon Tequila Blanco is an unaged 100% blue agave tequila made at Casa San Matías, a long-established distillery in Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is harvested by hand in the highlands, and the tequila is bottled at 40% with no barrel time, so the agave sits right at the front.

Casa San Matías has been making tequila for well over a century, and Corazon is produced and bottled there. Los Altos, the red-soil highland around towns such as Arandas and Atotonilco, is known for agave that tends to give a sweeter, fruitier tequila than the lowland valley around the town of Tequila. A blanco shows that difference most clearly because there is no oak to round it off.

As a 100% agave tequila, Corazon contains no other sugars, unlike a mixto, where up to 49% of the fermentable sugar can come from other sources. That makes it a good everyday bottle for anyone who wants a clean, honest agave spirit for fresh drinks without paying sipping-tequila prices.

Use it in a Margarita, Tommy’s Margarita or Paloma, where its fresh agave and pepper hold up against lime and grapefruit. It is also good neat and lightly chilled, or simply over ice with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt. Serve it with ceviche, fish tacos, grilled prawns or guacamole. Keep the bottle sealed and out of the sun after opening.
