Calle 23 Blanco Tasting Notes: This tequila is clear in color with a medium body on the palate. The nose has hints of cooked agave, citrus, and herbaceous notes. The palate is soft and gentle yet with much character: hints of fruit especially Granny Smith apples and pears shine. The finish is long and lingering.

    The Calle 23 brand was created by Sophie Decobecq, a French biochemist. She fell in love with Mexico and tequila when she went to the country on a work placement to research yeasts and lactic acid. The blanco is an excellent all-round mixing tequila, boasting notes of cooked agave, black pepper, spearmint, orchard fruits and pineapple.
