The Alto Canto High Proof Blanco Tequila is nicknamed The “Orange Blossom Special,” a genuine crowd-pleaser in the growing category of high proof tequilas offers a bit more heft while remaining approachably—even surprisingly—gulpable at 48% ABV. While the orange cream nostalgia ensures an easy win, there remain layers and layers to unpack upon leisurely contemplation: sweet herbs, root vegetables, and complex savory and candied notes pass by in waves. All things to all people!

A high-wire balancing act between sweet and savory immediately presents with aromas of orange zest and whipping cream recalling memories of Orange Julius along with nectarine, marjoram, roasted yellow squash, a lingering scent of pencil shavings, and the subtlest whisper of lavender and vanilla; the palate is rich with a silky texture and distinct notes of parsnip, fennel seed, fried chicken, paprika, granite dust, and powdered milk chocolate
