Arette Tequila Blanco

Arette Blanco is a bright, vegetal, budget-friendly highland-style tequila that delivers way above its price point. The nose mixes cooked agave, citrus (grapefruit/lemon zest), light cherry or dried fruit, herbal notes (sage, celery, hay), and a touch of minerality. On the palate it’s clean, slightly sweet, peppery, and vegetal with hints of green apple, jalapeño, black tea, and subtle florals. The texture is on the thinner side but still pleasant, and it benefits a lot from opening up. Finish is short-to-medium with pepper, herbs, and faint agave sweetness. Not super complex, but an outstanding value and an easy everyday sipper.
