LALO Tequila Launches a Bold New High Proof Expression
LALO Tequila, a prominent name in the spirits industry, has introduced its highly awaited limited edition High Proof expression. This remarkable release signifies the brand's first-ever innovation since its inception, taking a bold step forward in the world of blanco tequila.
A Commitment to Excellence
High Proof reflects LALO's dedication to pushing the boundaries of tequila craftsmanship. As a brand exclusively focused on blanco tequila, this new expression embodies everything that fans love about the original 80 proof version, now enhanced with increased boldness, complexity, and a unique flavor profile. LALO High Proof is designed for both tequila aficionados and newcomers eager to savor an expression that captures the spirit's purest essence.
Crafted with Passion
Eduardo "Lalo" González, co-founder of LALO, shared his excitement about this release, stating, "This release is particularly special to me and embodies my heritage and the soul of tequila-making that has been part of my family for generations. LALO High Proof is not just a new product; it represents a personal and artistic expression inspired by my childhood memories of working in the agave fields of Mexico alongside my father and grandfather. It’s a journey to the peak of what tequila should be, and I am proud to share this innovation with tequila lovers across the country."
Ingredients and Production Process
High Proof is created using just three key ingredients: mature agave, well-water, and champagne yeast. This combination elevates blanco tequila to new heights with a robust ABV of 54%. The unique flavor profile features tasting notes of cooked agave, delicate floral hints, and a peppery finish highlighted by a distinct minerality. The production method closely follows that of LALO's original blanco tequila, utilizing handpicked agave from the Jalisco highlands and a traditional cooking method, with only two distillations to preserve the agave's integrity. However, High Proof stands out as it is left undiluted, showcasing the full character and nuances of LALO's craft.
Notable Characteristics
Here’s what sets LALO High Proof apart:
- A crystal-clear, full-bodied liquid with visible viscosity.
- A rich, evolving flavor that leaves a long-lasting impression on the palate.
- Aromatic notes that capture the essence of agave, featuring raw grassy tones, an earthy scent from the clay ovens, dark fruits, hints of vanilla, and a bold, peppery finish.
Availability and Pricing
Starting today, LALO High Proof is available across the nation with a suggested retail price of $74.99. This new expression invites enthusiasts to experience LALO's sought-after blanco tequila at its most elevated and intense form.
