Espolòn Blanco Tequila

Made entirely from Blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico, this is a great Tequila to elevate your next batch of cocktails. It is bright, herbaceous, with hints of sweet agave nectar, pepper and citrus zest. We particularly recommend this mixed into a classic Margarita. What better way to mark National Tequila Day?

Kah Añejo Tequila

Before we get to the liquid, a moment for the bottle. There’s no missing Kah Tequila on your home bar with its striking ceramic design, which honours Mexican Day of the Dead traditions.

Inside is a 40% ABV Tequila that has spent two years maturing in American oak barrels, which gives the liquid a beautiful amber hue and complex flavour profile. This Tequila is brimming with notes of vanilla, caramel, chocolate and warming spice. It’s perfect neat, over ice, or you could even elevate your Margarita with this expression.

Patrón Reposado Tequila

A minimum of two months in oak barrels is required to make Patrón Reposado. If you’re a fan of the brand’s blanco Tequila, this is worth checking out. The flavour is a little subtler than its blanco counterpart due to its time in barrels, and you can expect flavours of vanilla, honey and spice, with a whisper of smoke towards the finish. It’s elegant enough to sip neat, or to pour into a Tequila Old Fashioned – delicious.

Arette Blanco Tequila

For a high-quality, unaged Tequila, Arette Blanco is a great option to explore. The Tequila is produced at El Llano distillery in Jalisco, Mexico, using Blue Weber agave grown in the Tequila Valley. This is very classic in style, so expect flavours of sweet agave complemented by crisp minerality, fresh herbs and a hint of black pepper. Another versatile option, this Tequila is also great to enjoy neat or in classic cocktails, like the Paloma.

Don Julio Blanco

Crafted in the highlands of Jalisco in Mexico, this is a Tequila with a crisp and clean profile. Bright, herbaceous aromas of fresh agave shine on the nose while the flavour brings lemon and lime citrus and a touch of black pepper. Smooth, delicious and versatile – it’s well worth adding this to the cart for your next batch of Margaritas.

El Tequileño The Sassenach Select Tequila

There’s a reason El Tequileño has won so many awards over the years, and that’s because the quality of its Tequilas is truly outstanding. The brand’s The Sassenach Select Tequila is a limited edition expression well worth exploring if you’re seeking a higher-end Tequila for your home bar. What sets this particular Tequila apart is its double maturation in both American and French oak barrels. This creates a spirit bursting with sweet spice, light vanilla, cooked agave, herbal undertones and some caramel. It’s best enjoyed neat to allow the complexity to shine, but a Highball-style serve could also be a refreshing option.

Olmeca Altos Plata Blanco Tequila

Hailing from the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico, Altos slowly cooks its Blue Weber agave in traditional brick ovens before it is crushed using a tahona wheel. Expect aromas of sweet cooked agave, fresh citrus and hints of spice – much of which is replicated when sipped, alongside additional flavours of pepper, lime and more agave sweetness. This is another firm favourite for classic cocktails, or drinking neat to appreciate the full flavour spectrum on offer.

Cazcabel Añejo Tequila

Following a minimum of 12 months of ageing in American oak barrels, Cazcabel Añejo tastes of vanilla, sweet honey, and toasted oak spice. The extended period in oak barrels means the Tequila is well-rounded and smooth to sip, leaving lingering notes of spice and dark chocolate. It’s rich and a real crowd-pleaser – and highly recommended to add to your cart.

Lunazul Blanco Tequila

This unaged Tequila is bright and expressive. Lunazul Blanco is all about showcasing the agave that goes into creating the Tequila. The palate is crisp, zesty, with fresh agave, white pepper and a subtle, refreshing citrus lift. Pick this up next time you’re whipping up a Spicy Margarita, or pop the bottle in the freezer for a couple of hours to enjoy ice-cold on its own.

Clase Azul Reposado Tequila

For a special occasion, ultra-premium Clase Azul Reposado Tequila makes a great option if your budget allows. Post-distillation, the Tequila spends eight months ageing in second-use American oak barrels, which is key to creating the Tequila’s silky smooth profile. Golden in colour, Clase Azul Reposado has notes of vanilla, toasted oak, honey and a hint of cinnamon spice. All of this is packaged in a striking, hand-sculpted decanter, mirroring the elegance of the Tequila inside the bottle on the outside.
