Arette is one of the few brands still made in the town of Tequila itself, at the El Llano distillery, NOM 1109, where the Orendain family began distilling in the early 1900s; brothers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain, fifth-generation master distillers, run it today, and the brand launched in 1986, named for Arete, the horse that won Mexico's only Olympic gold medals in show jumping in 1948. The Blanco is 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave from fields on the outskirts of Tequila, cooked in a blend of stone oven and autoclave, roller-milled, fermented in stainless and cement, double-distilled, and bottled unaged at 40% ABV — additive-free, confirmed. Lou: full-bodied, very flavorful, somewhat complex, not too smooth and not too sweet — exactly the way you want it, the star of the classic line, and one of the best mixers you can buy, which is why bars have made it their well. Expect a nose of cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, and a mineral, earthy valley note, opening into a bright, peppery, medium-bodied palate of agave, lime, and a faint anise with a clean, warm finish. Honest note: it's the bartender's tequila — no marketing, no celebrity, just El Llano at a working price. For a Margarita, a Paloma, a Ranch Water, or neat.

Arette is one of the few brands still made in the town of Tequila itself, at the El Llano distillery, NOM 1109, run by brothers Eduardo and Jaime Orendain, fifth-generation master distillers; the Artesanal Suave line is their higher-level, aficionado's product, made differently from the classic line — more stone-oven cooking, slower fermentation, and a gentler cut — with both brothers as master distillers. The Blanco is 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave from the outskirts of Tequila, bottled unaged at 40% ABV, additive-free. Tequila Report: strong cooked agave with sweet florals, petrichor, and green pepper on the nose, then cooked agave and florals joined by green pepper, mint, cracked black pepper, anise, and olive brine, finishing clean on florals, mint, pepper, and anise — a great sipping option. Lou ranks it above the Artesanal extra añejo, añejo, and reposado, and tells you to compare it to the classic blanco to taste what the process changes. Honest note: it's a valley blanco at its most refined — earthy, mineral, peppery, with a softness the name promises — and priced a tier above the classic line for the difference.
