Did you know Blanco Tequila can be rested up to 2 months? In this episode of The Liquor Connoisseur, Crystal and Roger review Santaleza Blanco Tequila (NOM 1604) made in the highlands with 8-year Blue Weber agave, mountain spring water, and natural fermentation. It’s aged in American bourbon barrels for a minimum of 16 months, yet stays bright, smooth, and incredibly approachable. We break down: • What “Blanco / Reposado / Añejo / Extra Añejo” really means • Why tequila legally allows up to 1% additives and how to spot it • The flavor profile: agave-forward, citrus, earth, oak, dried fruit, and a white pepper finish • Why barrel aging doesn’t always mean “better” • Who this bottle is for (and why it’s sneakily gift-worthy) If you’re trying to taste more agave and less candy-sweet vanilla syrup, this episode is for you. 🎧 Sponsored by The Bar Book App Discover your perfect pour, join free, and take the guesswork out of finding spirits and cocktails you’ll love. 👇 Drop a comment: What’s your favorite tequila right now? #TequilaReview #BlancoTequila #Santaleza #AdditiveFreeTequila #Agave #TequilaEducation #LiquorConnoisseur #NOM1604 #DrinkToRemember #anejo Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theliquorconnoisseur TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theliquorconnoisseur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliquorconnoisseur Website: https://theliquorconnoisseur.com 👍 Like if you learned something new 🔔 Subscribe for more bottle breakdowns and spirit education 🥂 Drink to remember, not to forget.
