Doña Mariana
916 Tequila Blanco
916 Tequila Blanco is a clear spirit produced under NOM 1578 and NOM 1541. It presents aromas of green agave, almond, orange vitamins, and tropical fruits with notes of black pepper and cinnamon. The palate features ripe agave, yeast, and caramel alongside a spicy alcoholic character. Some notes mention a lactic funk or high acidity, while others highlight a sweet finish with lingering warmth. The texture ranges from oily to having a nice mouthfeel, yet the complexity is described as basic in some instances. It remains a straightforward blanco expression defined by its agave-forward profile and peppery spice.
