El Mayor means "the greatest". Our quest has once again revealed another great bottle of Tequila. We recently had the opportunity to taste Tequila El Mayor Blanco. The bottle has a very nice natural shape that brought visions of the agave plant and rain droplets to mind. As is customary with tequila that is 100% Blue Weber Agave made in Mexico, each bottle of El Mayor comes with a label that tells you the batch number and bottle number. The Gonzales family has been distilling tequila for many years and has done an excellent job keeping their process balanced between traditions of yesterday and technology of today. We drank blanco from batch #246. It was in bottle #347. El Mayor has done an excellent job of integrating the batch label with the overall look of their brand. The anejo and the reposado bottles also have this signatue label. El Mayor's Blanco is unaged. It was quite smooth and crisp with flavor of the blue agave and hints of floral & pepper. Although it did not make it to the top of our list, we would recommend this bottle of blanco to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced bottle of tequila that tastes good alone or in your favorite mixed drink.If you are interested in learning more about this brand or the Gonzales family distillery, go check out their nice website.
