Is Lunazul Blanco Worth Buying? I Gave It a Second Chance!

Is Lunazul Blanco Worth Buying? I Gave It a Second Chance!

I may have been a little unfair to Lunazul Blanco the first time I reviewed it.

After tasting Lunazul Blanco served cold on a Delta flight for the Tequila Report, I wondered if the temperature had affected my opinion. So, I bought a bottle with my own money, brought it home, and gave this widely available tequila a second chance at room temperature.

In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, I find out whether Lunazul Blanco really tastes better at room temperature—or if my original opinion was right.

In this review, we discuss:

✔️ Why I decided to give Lunazul Blanco a second chance

✔️ Cold tequila vs. room-temperature tequila

✔️ Lunazul Blanco's production story

✔️ Tierra de Agaves — NOM 1513

✔️ Tequila, Jalisco

✔️ 100% Blue Weber Agave

✔️ Autoclave cooking and the production process

✔️ Proprietary family yeast fermentation

✔️ Double distillation in custom Cognac-style stills

✔️ Cooked agave, citrus, sweetness, vegetal and pepper notes

✔️ The mouthfeel and overall complexity of Lunazul Blanco

✔️ Whether Lunazul works better as a sipping tequila or a cocktail tequila

After tasting it again at room temperature, did the warmer temperature change my opinion?

Not really.

While Lunazul Blanco is inexpensive and widely available, I found it light, sweet, relatively simple, and lacking the depth and complexity I look for in a sipping tequila.

For cocktails like a Margarita, however, its affordability and availability may make more sense.

If you're looking for a Blanco tequila to sip neat and experience deeper cooked agave, minerality, earthiness, and traditional tequila character, there are other affordable bottles I'd recommend exploring.
