"...this blanco is a bright, punchy yet refined expression ... it shines like few others in its price tier." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Spirits Buyer
With the explosion in popularity of the tequila category in recent years, we've seen a veritable ocean of mass-produced, additive-laden offerings hit the market, often at eye-watering prices thanks to an "endorsement" by one celebrity or another. So, when we came across the Arquitecto Blanco from pioneering master distiller Enrique Fonseca, it was a breath of fresh air for a number of reasons. First, it's made at the famed NOM 1146 facility (hallowed ground to the most knowledgable tequila fans), where Enrique also produces his coveted, singular Fuenteseca range. Second, it's entirely additive free, so the purity of Enrique's top-tier agave shines through in spades. Finally, it's a resounding bargain in a category that has seen prices elevate to the level of the ridiculous, so anyone from the casual connoisseur to the hardcore, seasonsed pro can find something to fall in love with. "Sleek, stylish, and suave" as B-21 Spirits Buyer Andrew Kitz describes it, the Arquitecto is perfectly poised to become your new go-to blanco for your home bar – whether in your favorite cocktail or as a solo act, it delivers the goods at a can't-miss, sub-$40 price that invites you to reach for the bottle again and again.
