Olmeca Altos Cítricos Joven

Olmeca Altos Cítricos Joven is a 100% agave tequila infused with citrus notes during distillation. The profile features prominent orange, lemon, and grapefruit aromas that dominate the traditional agave character. Flavors include herbal basil, black pepper spiciness, and mandarin with a sweet citrus entry. This spirit offers a medium finish and lacks the typical cooked agave sweetness of standard blancos. It is particularly well suited for citrus based cocktails like margaritas where it enhances the flavor profile significantly. Drinkers note it loses its essence when consumed straight, making it ideal for mixed drinks rather than neat sipping.
