123 Organic #1 Blanco Tequila: The Pure, Pristine Essence of Organic Agave
Discover the vibrant, unadulterated spirit of Mexico with 123 Organic #1 Blanco Tequila. This exceptional Blanco (white) tequila is not just a drink; it's a testament to purity, sustainability, and the profound beauty of organically farmed agave. Certified organic from agave field to bottle, #1 Blanco is the vibrant foundation of 123 Organic Tequila's acclaimed portfolio, offering the truest expression of the Blue Weber agave plant.
Crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, 123 Organic Tequila (Uno Dos Tres Tequila) is committed to artisanal methods and environmental stewardship. The journey of #1 Blanco begins with 100% certified organic Blue Weber Agave plants, cultivated biodynamically for 7-10 years without pesticides or chemicals on a single estate. Once mature, the agave piñas are slowly cooked for two days in traditional stone ovens (hornos), allowing the natural sugars to caramelize and develop rich flavors.
Following cooking, the agave is shredded, and the juice is naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, capturing the unique terroir of the region. The spirit then undergoes a meticulous double distillation in small, stainless steel pot stills, ensuring exceptional clarity and purity. As a Blanco tequila, #1 is unaged, bottled immediately after distillation at a crisp 40% ABV (80 Proof), preserving the vibrant, unmasked character of the organic agave. Every step of its production adheres to strict USDA Organic and EU Organic certifications, making it a truly clean and environmentally conscious choice.
