Review: Cenote Blanco Tequila
Cenote Blanco Tequila is an ultra premium 100% Weber blue agave recently launched by SPI Group, the parent company of Stoli Vodka, Bayou Rum, Kah Tequila, and Kentucky Owl Bourbon. Cenote is named for the natural swimming holes formed by the collapse of porous limestone bedrock which revealed a secret subterranean world of crystal clear fresh water. The Mayans revered and named cenotes, meaning sacred well. Master Distiller Arturo Fuentes and Master Blender Alejandro Garcia Perez manage the entire process at Fabrica de Tequilos Finos. This is the distillery that also produces Dos Manos, El Diamante Del Cielo, Kirkland Signature, and Kah tequila. Cenote is made from 100% blue agave grown for a minimum 6-7 years before harvesting from the Lowland Region. The water used to craft Cenote is sourced from an artesian well located at the distillery. The water is further filtered through reverse osmosis and carbon filters with silver ions. Cenote is double distilled using a combination of copper and stainless steel pot stills. After distillation the tequila is mellowed in American oak barrels for 3 weeks before bottling. Read more
