Calle 23 Criollo
Calle 23 Criollo is a high-proof Blanco tequila from Jalisco. This spirit carries NOM 1545 and uses Tequilana agave grown in Southern Los Altos. Autoclave cooking and roller mill milling define its production. Stainless steel fermentation yields bright citrus, fresh mint, and black pepper notes on the nose. The palate offers rich sweet agave alongside anise and vegetal jalapeño hints for depth. A long finish reveals cinnamon, brine, and lingering spice to create balance. Distillation in stainless pot stills with copper coils ensures a clean profile. 3% abv provides intensity without overwhelming the delicate floral undertones present in every sip.
