Tequila Blanco Paladar

Paladar Blanco Tequila is produced by the last of the independent founding families of tequila, with a heritage dating back to 1844. The brand emphasizes traditional methods, using 7-year-old Blue Weber agave harvested from their own fields in Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked in brick ovens for 48 hours and fermented in open-air pine boxes using wild and proprietary yeasts, a process that contributes to its rustic character. The tequila is double-distilled in a blend of copper and stainless-steel pot stills by Master Distiller Eduardo Orendain Jr. Paladar is committed to sustainability, aiming for 90% solar power by 2024 and using recycled materials for packaging. The bottles are uniquely hand-dipped in the volcanic soil from their agave fields.
