El Tesoro Blanco is a traditionally made 100% Blue Weber agave tequila from La Alteña distillery — tahona-crushed, fermented with the agave fiber, and bottled unaged to show pure highland agave.
El Tesoro is one of the last producers to fully embrace traditional methods. Founded by Don Felipe Camarena in 1937 and now overseen by his grandson Carlos Camarena, the distillery crushes its agave with a tahona stone wheel and ferments with the fiber, preserving maximum agave character. The Blanco is crystal clear and unaged — a benchmark for pure agave expression.
It works neat to appreciate the agave, or in a clean, agave-forward Margarita.
