Description
Don Indalecio Núñez Muro founded El Viejito in 1937 in the Jalisco Highlands. The family distillery works under NOM 1107, carrying its agave tradition into this additive-free Plata. Bottled at 42% ABV, the blanco keeps the focus on Highland agave and the citrus, pepper and mineral character described in the glass.
Citrus and green apple introduce the nose. Herbal notes follow, with agave beneath the fruit. Cooked agave anchors the palate as lime zest adds brightness and white pepper brings spice. A touch of minerality accompanies those flavors. The finish stays lively and clean, leaving fresh citrus and white pepper after the agave sweetness recedes.
Serve neat at room temperature in a wide-rimmed glass. A large ice cube offers another approach. Salt and lime also work here, with lime echoing the tequila's citrus notes.
