Discover the bold, traditional character of Atanasio Orígenes Blanco Tequila, a limited-production, additive-free high-proof tequila handcrafted by Familia Landeros at NOM 1599 in El Medineño, Jalisco. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 Proof), Orígenes is an homage to the way tequila was crafted more than a century ago, offering exceptional intensity, complexity, and an unmistakably authentic agave profile.
Produced from 100% Blue Weber agave, the piñas are cooked for over 24 hours, roller-milled, and naturally fermented for 6–8 days using ambient wild yeast. Unlike the standard expression, Orígenes is fermented with a portion of the agave fibers left in the fermentation tanks, creating greater texture, earthy depth, and a beautifully rustic character. The tequila is then double-distilled in stainless steel pot stills and rested briefly in stainless steel before bottling without additives.
The nose is vibrant and layered with aromas of fresh mint, oregano, watermelon rind, lime zest, and subtle lactic notes reminiscent of kefir, balanced by hints of black pepper and herbs. The palate is rich and structured, delivering flavors of cooked agave, red berries, citrus zest, toasted fennel, cinnamon spice, and earthy minerality with an oily mouthfeel that evolves beautifully from sip to finish. The higher proof amplifies both aroma and flavor while maintaining remarkable balance and smoothness.
Designed for sipping neat, Atanasio Orígenes Blanco is a favorite among tequila enthusiasts seeking traditionally made, additive-free tequila with exceptional depth and character. Its robust profile also makes it an outstanding choice for premium craft cocktails that highlight authentic agave flavor.
