Mayenda has introduced its latest Aztec-honoring luxury tequila called the Tequila Blanco. Mayenda's Maestro Tequilero Jesus Susunaga said: "Before even taking a sip, you'll notice the complex bouquet," noted Susunaga. "The incredibly rich aroma of honey, caramelization, and a touch of pepper carries through onto the palate with every sip. Mayenda brings forward layers of flavor, something truly special in a Blanco."
The Mayenda Tequila Blanco pays tribute to the Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of agave. The tequila is 100 percent Agave Azul made and is hand-harvested with a low jima cut of less than 3 cm to remove harshness and bitterness. The most profound flavors of agave are made with two steps: First, macerating, or steeping, the roasted piñas in the base distillate. Second, mixing it with agave miel for layers of complexity. As a result, the flavors bring sweet, caramel, vegetal, floral, and peppery notes with aromas of wildflower honey, cinnamon, orange blossom, and fresh grass. The tequila is available for purchase.
