Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Built for the agave enthusiast who already knows what they like, this limited-release blanco is bottled exactly as it leaves the still: distilled to proof at 50% ABV with no water added afterward. It is the first distilled-to-proof tequila from LALO and only the second innovation in the brand's history, which gives the gift a story worth telling. Made from 100% blue weber agave in Jalisco and left unaged, it pours crystal clear and leads with intense cooked agave, citrus zest, roasted jalapeño and minerality. It finishes long and warming with a peppery snap and lingering agave sweetness. Give it to celebrate a promotion, thank a mentor who loves sipping tequila, or bring it to a dinner where the host keeps a proper tasting glass on hand. The recipient will get the most from it neat, perhaps with a splash of spring water to open the aromas, or alongside a salted lime wedge for a slow, ceremonial pour that lets every layer come through.
Pairs well with
- Citrus-cured seafood ceviche — The tequila's lime peel, wet stone and hint of salinity echo the bright, briny flavors of the dish.
- Grilled pepper and pork tacos — Notes of roasted jalapeño, green pepper and roasted agave stand up to charred, savory fillings.
- Promotion celebration toast — A limited-release, 100-proof blanco with a long, warming finish makes a considered pour for marking a big career step.
Questions about this bottle
What does distilled to proof mean for this tequila?
It means the tequila is bottled at the strength it comes off the still, 50% ABV or 100 proof, with no water added post-distillation. LALO describes this edition as tequila in its most untouched and unfiltered form, and it is the brand's first distilled-to-proof release.
What does it taste like?
The nose bursts with cooked agave, fresh citrus zest, roasted jalapeño, green pepper, minerality and a touch of white pepper. The palate brings roasted agave, herbal complexity, earthy tones, lime peel, wet stone and a hint of salinity, finishing long and clean with a peppery snap and lingering agave sweetness.
How should I drink it?
Neat in a tasting glass is where it shines. A splash of spring water gently opens the aromas and rounds the palate. You can also sip it slowly with an orange or lime wedge dusted with sea salt or Tajín. If mixing, keep it minimal, such as a Tequila Old Fashioned or Ranch Water.
What is it made from and how large is the bottle?
