Best Organic Tequila Under $30? | Señora Leona Blanco Review

[00:00:00] Can you really make an organic good tequila for under $30, or is that a catch? If you've been watching my channel for a while, you know, I always say price doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to tequila. So today we're putting that theory to the test with Senora Leona Blanco. This bottle usually sells for under 30 bucks. It says it's certified organic. They claim it's additive free and is made at nom 1607. [00:00:27] Now, that distillery has a lot of tools in the kitchen. They have the ability to produce tequila using many different methods depending on the brand. So here's the real question. Did they use those tools to make something special or just another budget tequila? Senora Leona is actually the sister brand to Aelia Tequila. It's named after Leona Vacario, one of Mexico's heroes of the War of Independence. She's often referred to as the mother of the homeland. It's a pretty cool story, but what I care most about is what's in this bottle. So this tequila is 100% blue Weber agave. They say that is organic. It's grown in volcanic soil around the town of Amatan in the valley. The agaves are slow cooked for about 14 hours in a autoclave. Then they're crushed with the traditional tona. Fermentation happens in open air tanks with native yeast, mineral rich, volcanic well water, and then it's double distilled in copper pots. Those production methods sound great to me. And the Bottle is at 84 proof or 42 ABV. It's giving you a little more flavor than the standard tequila. So let's get it in a glass and check it out. [00:01:31] Get some cooked agave. [00:01:33] I get a sweetness that I'm not sure what that is. It's a little bit of vanilla. There's a teeny bit of funkiness. I pick up something bright like maybe green apple. There's also, I have to say, there's a green agave note, like a fresh cut agave. I haven't picked that up in a while. And it's, you know. [00:01:49] All right, let's dive into the taste. [00:01:52] I get some cooked agave. There's a little citrus there. It's a little bit spicy. [00:01:57] There's a sweetness that. I'm not sure what that sweetness is. It doesn't seem like supernatural to me of what that is. Haven't picked that up in a while. And it tequila. There is some nice herbal notes. There's a little bit of earthiness to it, maybe a hint of cinnamon. The finish is a little bit of pepperiness. [00:02:14] For tequila under 30 bucks, this is definitely one to pick up. It's got a great looking bottle, has a unique story. It's to me would be great in any mixture. Probably fantastic in a Paloma. I do like the shirt they sent me. I kind of feel a little World Cuppy in this. I watched the most soccer I've ever watched in my life this year. That's been interesting. I one thing I found out about soccer, for me, it's boring right up until it's not and then it's exciting. So maybe they've gained a new soccer fan here. So tell me if you've tried Senora Leona. Let me know what you think down in the comments. Do you think this might be one of the best budget free options out there on the market?
