Mijenta Maestra Selection No. 1 Blanco Tequila

Maestra Selection No. 1 is the first tequila ever made solely from agave grown from seed — eight years from seed to harvest in a single field at Presa de Otomites, bottled at 100 proof by Ana María Romero Mena. Mijenta — mi gente, my people — is the first B Corp tequila, launched in 2020 out of Arandas in the southern Los Altos highlands, and the Maestra Selection is an annual limited series giving Romero, one of Mexico's most respected maestras tequileras, a platform to explore what's possible with only agave, water, and yeast. No. 1 is 100% single-estate agave de semilla — grown from seed rather than the usual hijuelo offshoots, which Agave Spirits Journey calls grain-to-glass on a new level — raised eight years at high elevation in Jesús María, cooked in low-pressure autoclaves, fermented with proprietary yeast in open stainless, double-distilled in stainless pots, and bottled unaged at 50% ABV, additive-free. Best Tasting Spirits: cooked agave, florals, and earth on the nose, then roasted pineapple, cinnamon, and pepper; a sweet cinnamon-orange-agave entry building to citrus and grass, finishing on brine, tangy pineapple, dark chocolate, and black pepper. Drinkhacker, a fan since launch, calls it the brand's first limited edition. Honest note: a one-time, high-proof, seed-grown blanco — the enthusiast's Mijenta, and a piece of agave history when the run is gone. Neat with a drop of water, in a copita. Maestra, number one.
