Show Notes

Today on Tasting Tequila with Brad we’re reviewing Blanco Muerte Tequila, a tequila with one of the most unusual origin stories in the tequila world. According to the legend, the recipe for this tequila was given to a grieving widower named Don Blanco by the Grim Reaper himself in the hills of Jalisco in 1821. The story says the Reaper delivered a copper plate engraved with a tequila recipe meant to bring strength and happiness. But great stories don’t always mean great tequila… so today we’re putting Blanco Muerte Blanco to the test. In this review we cover: • The legend of Blanco Muerte • Production details (NOM 1504) • How the tequila is made • Aroma, flavor, and finish • Whether this blanco tequila is worth buying Blanco Muerte is produced using 100% Blue Weber agave, cooked in traditional brick ovens, crushed with a roller mill, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and distilled twice in copper pot stills. If you enjoy tequila reviews, tequila education, and learning the stories behind the brands, make sure to subscribe to Tasting Tequila with Brad.
