The World’s Best Tequila, According To The New York World Spirits Competition
The New York World Spirits Competition awarded Best in Class honors to five Tequilas, one Mezcal, and one Bacanora. Below is a brief description of the winners, along with tasting notes
Crafted in the Sierra del Tigre mountains of Jalisco, Mexico, at 9,000 feet above sea level, Alto Canto’s pinas come from some of the highest agave fields in Mexico. The company utilizes organic agave, pure mountain spring water, and a traditional stone tahona to craft its Tequila.
The Tequila is crystal clear. The nose features wet stone minerality, along with cooked agave, lime, and floral aromas. It’s smooth and complex on the palate, featuring cooked agave flavors, hints of pepper, citrus, minerals, and earthy notes. The finish is short and crisp, with a refreshing aftertaste and a lingering minerality.
The NYWSC Judging Panel described the Blanco Tequila as “crisp with herbal undertones, refreshing and slightly earthy.”
