This Isn’t 100% Agave… And It’s GREAT | El Tequileño Blanco Mixto Explained This isn’t 100% agave tequila — and it’s still great. In this video, I explain the real difference between 100% de agave tequila and mixto tequila using El Tequileño Blanco Mixto as the example. This isn’t 100% agave tequila — and it’s still great. In this video, I break down the real difference between 100% de agave tequila and mixto tequila, using El Tequileño Blanco Mixto as the perfect example. El Tequileño Blanco Mixto is made with 70% blue Weber agave and 30% piloncillo, rested for 14 days in American oak. It’s a traditional, budget-friendly tequila that has been used in Mexico for generations — especially in the legendary Batanga cocktail. We cover: • What “100% de agave” actually means • What mixto tequila really is (and what it isn’t) • Why El Tequileño Blanco Mixto works so well in cocktails • Tasting notes, texture, and finish • Why this mixto often outperforms some 100% agave tequilas in margaritas and Batangas This is tequila education without hype — just facts, history, and flavor. If you care about traditional tequila, additive-free production, and real-world drinking, you’re in the right place.
