LALO High Proof Blanco Tequila

LALO High Proof is the blanco-only tequila at a higher strength — Eduardo Orendain's additive-free highland blanco with the volume turned up. Eduardo Lalo Orendain is the third generation of one of the four founding families of tequila; he launched LALO in 2020 with David R. Carballido on the argument that blanco is the truest expression of agave and most tequila is aged to hide something, and it's made in Arandas at NOM 1468 from 100% highland blue Weber agave, slow-cooked in brick ovens, fermented with a champagne yeast, and double-distilled in copper with nothing added and no barrel. The High Proof is the same distillate bottled above the standard 40% — check your bottle for the ABV — for the enthusiast and the bartender who found the original too easy. Expect the standard LALO's bright cooked agave, citrus, florals, and white pepper with more density and oil on the nose, a fuller, more mineral palate that carries the highland fruit through a longer, warmer, cleaner finish, and a Margarita that doesn't wash out on ice. Honest note: high-proof blanco is the enthusiast's category, and LALO's polish at strength is a rare thing — agave-forward without rustic funk, for the drinker who wants Fortaleza Still Strength's intensity in a cleaner, highland style. Neat with a drop of water, or in a Margarita that bites. LALO, louder.
