Chamucos Diablo Blanco Tequila

Diablo Blanco is Chamucos at 110 proof — the still-strength devil of a line already famous for funk. Chamucos was conceived in 1992 by Oscar-nominated Mexican film director Antonio Urrutia and his friend César Hernández, a hand-blown glass artist; the chamucos are the dark, shadowy creatures of Mexican folklore who visit briefly in dreams, and they dance across a recycled-glass bottle whose cut-out label folds into a three-dimensional piece. Diablo Blanco is 100% organic Los Altos highland agave, cooked, fermented, distilled in a custom stainless alembic, and bottled unaged at 55% ABV (110 proof); the brand has moved distilleries over the years, so check your bottle for the NOM. Drinkhacker: boldly agave-heavy on the nose, quite peppery, herbal, and lemony all at once — and, at this proof, everything the standard Blanco does, louder. Wine Enthusiast called the house blanco raw, visceral, and sexy, savory and almost meaty with a waxy honey mid-palate; one Agave Matchmaker taster who loves funky town says the Blanco and the Diablo scratch that itch where the Añejo doesn't. Expect a dense, oily nose of cooked agave, green pepper, lemon, and savory funk, opening into a big, hot, herbal palate of agave, black pepper, honey, and minerals with a long, peppery finish that opens with a drop of water. Honest note: a high-proof, high-funk blanco for the enthusiast — not for the faint of heart, and the best Chamucos for a Margarita that fights back. Neat with water, or a Diablo Margarita. The devil, at 110.
