Why Every Tequila Collector Needs El Tesoro Blanco
About this episode
El Tesoro Blanco is one of the most respected additive-free tequilas in the world, and today I’m breaking down why so many tequila collectors keep this bottle on their shelf.
Produced at the legendary La Alteña Distillery (NOM 1139) by Master Distiller Carlos Camarena, El Tesoro Blanco uses traditional tequila-making methods including tahona stone wheel extraction, brick ovens, natural fermentation, and copper pot distillation.
After my recent Tapatío review, many of you requested this bottle next — and honestly, I understand why. El Tesoro Blanco represents everything many tequila lovers look for in authentic traditional tequila: cooked agave flavor, minerality, pepper, citrus, and incredible balance without additives.
In this review, I cover:
