Cimarron Blanco Tequila 750ml
DescriptionCimarron Blanco delivers authentic highland tequila character at a price that makes quality accessible for everyday enjoyment. Named after the wild mountain rams of Jalisco, this blanco embodies untamed agave flavor refined just enough for modern palates. The result is a mixing tequila that respects tradition while meeting the demands of high-volume bars and home enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on authenticity.
The philosophy behind Cimarron is refreshingly straightforward: create real tequila using traditional methods, price it reasonably, and let the liquid speak for itself. No celebrity endorsements, no fancy bottles, just honest production from a distillery with generations of experience. Highland agaves from Atotonilco provide the raw material, their natural sweetness and floral character creating a flavor profile that shines in cocktails while remaining true to tequila's roots.
Production follows time-tested methods without unnecessary complications. The agaves cook in traditional hornos (ovens) for 48 hours, developing authentic flavors. Fermentation proceeds with the distillery's proprietary yeast strain, creating consistency batch to batch. Double distillation in stainless steel pot stills with copper coils ensures purity while preserving character. The result is a blanco that delivers real agave flavor at a price point that makes sense for regular use.
Cimarron Blanco presents crystal clear with good clarity that demonstrates careful production. The nose offers authentic highland character—bright agave sweetness mingles with citrus notes, while herbs and white pepper add complexity. This isn't a shy blanco; it announces its presence with confidence. As it opens, floral notes typical of highland tequila emerge, along with a pleasant minerality that adds structure. The aromatic intensity makes it ideal for cocktails where tequila character needs to shine through.
On the palate, Cimarron delivers more flavor than its price suggests. The entry shows some heat—this is full-strength tequila with character—but quickly reveals layers of authentic flavor. Sweet agave provides the foundation, brightened by citrus and balanced by peppery spice. Highland characteristics shine: floral notes, herbs, and that distinctive minerality create complexity. Mid-palate brings earthy undertones and a slight vegetal quality that adds authenticity. The finish is clean with moderate length, leaving pleasant agave and citrus notes. This is blanco built for mixing—robust enough to stand up to citrus and sweeteners in margaritas, authentic enough to make proper Ranch Waters, affordable enough to use generously. Cimarron Blanco proves that everyday tequila can maintain integrity, delivering highland character that satisfies both bartenders and budget-conscious enthusiasts.
