Review: Mico Blanco Tequila
Mico Blanco Tequila is made at Tequila el Viejito. This distillery produces several brands including Tromba, Karma, Calende, and Distinqt. Mico is made from 100% blue agave grown in the Highland region. Once hand selected and trimmed the agave is chopped and slow cooked in a small brick oven. The cooked agave is fed through a roller mill where the juice is extracted. The juice rests in stainless steel vats for 6-7 days with a proprietary yeast strain. The spirit is small batch double distilled in copper pot stills. Once the bottle is formed, fire fuses the Milo Monkey image and painted label to the bottle before hand bottling at 80 proof.
