Infused with jalapeño, this tequila comes from Jalisco, Mexico, where Tanteo Spirits builds its spirits around real chile peppers rather than added flavorings. The base is a Jalisco tequila, and the pepper element carries through in both aroma and taste, giving the bottle a distinct heat that sets it apart from an unflavored blanco.
Expect the clean agave backbone of a Jalisco tequila met with the green, vegetal bite of fresh jalapeño, a warmth that lingers rather than shocks. It's built for cocktails, particularly a spicy margarita or a bloody maria, where the pepper does the work without needing extra hot sauce. It also holds up in a simple shot for those who want the heat straight.
