Founded by sommelier Daday Suarez with Master Distiller Juan Reyes, formerly of Patrón, the operation is certified organic and additive-free to an unusual degree: the ingredient list is agave and water, full stop — even the yeast is wild, with spontaneous fermentation running roughly 80 hours in open wooden tanks with fibers included, followed by a second malolactic fermentation borrowed from winemaking. The agave cooks 72 hours in brick ovens and gets crushed by tahona; the finished blanco settles 25 days in a white oak container before bottling at 40% ABV, each bottle individually numbered. Drinkhacker found it briskly green and herbal — bell pepper, crushed almonds, lime leaf, grains of paradise — opening into lime-heavy citrus, brown butter, marzipan, and hazelnut, with a sharp, peppery finish. One critic found a sour edge across the line; others read that same malolactic tang as part of its character. A genuinely distinctive, terroir-driven blanco for drinkers who want something nobody else is making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Alto Canto Blanco Tequila online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47092509114624,"sku":"C0009697L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/AltoCantoBlanco.jpg?v=1760131527"},{"product_id":"alto-canto-high-proof-blanco-tequila","title":"Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe High Proof is Alto Canto's still-strength statement — the same organic blanco as the standard bottling, minus the water, bottled at 96-98 proof depending on batch. Everything about the production is deliberately old-school and then some: made at NOM 1636 in the Sierra del Tigre mountains at 9,000 feet, the highest-altitude tequila distillery in Mexico, founded by sommelier Daday Suarez with Master Distiller Juan Reyes, formerly of Patrón. Certified organic agave cooks 72 hours in brick ovens, gets crushed by tahona to avoid stressing the fibers, then wild-ferments in open wooden tanks with only ambient yeast — no cultivated yeast at all — followed by a second malolactic fermentation borrowed from winemaking. Additive-free, individually numbered bottles. Drinkhacker's Christopher Null gave it a B+, describing a big, punchy nose of lemon citrus, flint, perfume, oregano, and lightly sweet roasted agave, with freshly cracked black pepper hitting first on the palate, then roasted agave, pear, rose petals, and a touch of salinity, finishing long as the pepper returns. He called it delicious and nuanced, good enough to sip but built to stand out in cocktails where the bold flavor and proof shine — and it was Bourbon \u0026amp; Banter's clear favorite of the whole line for exactly that reason. Add water if you like; it starts where most blancos give up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47092529824000,"sku":"C0009699L","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/AltoCantoHighProof.jpg?v=1760133577"},{"product_id":"alto-canto-reposado-tequila","title":"Alto Canto Reposado Tequila","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlto Canto means \"highland song,\" and the claim behind it is real: it's distilled at NOM 1636 in the Sierra del Tigre mountains of Jalisco at 9,000 feet — the highest-altitude tequila distillery in Mexico, where thinner air lowers the boiling point and changes how the spirit distills. Founded by sommelier Daday Suarez with Master Distiller Juan Reyes, formerly of Patrón, it's certified organic and additive-free: agave cooked 72 hours in brick ovens, crushed by tahona, wild-fermented roughly 80 hours with fibers in open wooden tanks using only ambient yeast — plus a second malolactic fermentation, a winemaking technique almost nobody in tequila uses. The reposado then rests four months in new American oak (rather than the usual ex-bourbon), housed in an adobe cellar. Bottled at 40% ABV, individually numbered. Wine Enthusiast's blind tasting found flinty, floral aromas with lychee, toasted coconut, and guava; other tasters describe tangerine, candied orange peel, salted caramel, crème brûlée, and nutmeg — dessert in an autumn orchard. Honest note: reviews genuinely split, with one critic finding a sour edge and a short finish across the line. A distinctive, ambitious pour either way — excellent in a Tequila Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Alto Canto Reposado Tequila online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094786195712,"sku":"C0009702L","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/AltoCantoReposado.jpg?v=1760202451"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/collections\/AltoCantoBlanco.jpg?v=1787977826","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/alto-canto.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
