Tanteo Tequila™ is a collection of 100% Weber Blue Agave Blanco Tequilas, each of which are hand-infused with the flavors of Mexico: Jalapeño, Chocolate, and Tropical. Each bottle retails for roughly USD $45 and contains 40% ABV.
Tanteo was launched in December 2008 in the United States by the Tanteo Spirits Company, with its introduction in New York. Conceived by Jonathan Rojewski, CEO and co-founder of the Tanteo Spirits Company, the Tanteo collection is an idea realized thanks in part to the actions of the Consejo Regular de Tequila (CRT), Mexico’s tequila regulator, which lifted its strict ban on non-agave infusions. As a result, Tanteo was born: a 100% Weber blue agave tequila, enhanced – not masked – by natural extracts of jalapeño, chocolate, and tropical fruit, with jalapeño providing a base note throughout.
“There are some superb blanco, anejo and reposado tequilas on the market already,” explains Rojewski. “We thought it was time for a superior tasting tequila that not only celebrates the intensely rich traditions and heritage of Mexico’s national drink but also satisfies the contemporary thirst for bold while playing meilleur casino, refined flavors and a sophisticated taste profile.”
Staying true to the spirit’s traditions, Tanteo is distilled, infused and bottled in the historic mountain town of Tequila, Mexico. The bottle is designed by co-founder and award-winning graphic artist Lincoln Mayne.
