Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1 Blanco Tequila: The Pinnacle of Artisanal Agave Spirits

Rediscover High-Proof Tequila with Single-Estate Agaves Grown from Seed

Step into a new era of luxury spirits with Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1 Blanco Tequila. Standard industrial production relies on cloned agave shoots (hijuelos), but Master Distiller Ana María Romero Mena shattered conventional boundaries by crafting the world’s first tequila made exclusively from 100% agaves de semilla—agaves grown directly from seed. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

Matured for over eight years in the rich red clay of the Jalisco Highlands, these bat-pollinated agaves develop an unprecedented genetic complexity and high sugar concentration. The result is an extraordinary, additive-free high-proof tequila that redefines standard craft spirits. Bottled at a robust 50% ABV (100 proof), this limited-allocation Blanco delivers intense flavor depth without harsh heat, offering an unforgettable sipping experience. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

The Masterful Process Behind Maestra Selection Nº 1

100% Single-Estate Agave De Semilla

Mass production in Jalisco has created a monoculture of cloned Blue Weber agaves. Mijenta’s agaves de semilla process allows natural cross-pollination by wild bats, protecting agricultural biodiversity while generating richer, multi-dimensional flavor compounds impossible to replicate in standard commercial tequilas.

Sustainable & Additive-Free Craftsmanship

As a Certified B Corporation, Mijenta upholds rigorous environmental standards:

• Traditional Cooking: Agaves are slowly cooked in low-pressure autoclaves to extract deep natural sweetness.

• Pure Extraction: Gentle roller-mill extraction preserves the vibrant fruit integrity. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

• Clean Fermentation & Distillation: Fermented in open-air stainless steel tanks with deep well water and twice-distilled in pot stills with zero added sugars, glycerin, or artificial colorings. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

Tasting Profile: A Multi-Layered Sensory Experience

Aroma (The Nose)

An explosive bouquet of rich cooked agave opens into decadent notes of caramel, dulce de leche, and dark chocolate. Soft flashes of roasted pineapple, ripe cantaloupe, and gardenia flowers are elevated by subtle ground cinnamon, cardamom, and wet-stone minerality. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

Palate (The Flavor)

Silky and full-bodied on the tongue. The initial sip reveals bright citrus zest and sweet agave nectar before evolving into layers of tropical fruit, anise, peppermint, and warm baking spices. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

The Finish

Remarkably long, smooth, and persistent. A refined balance of cracked black pepper, herbal sage, and gentle agave warmth lingers effortlessly without burning. Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1

Mijenta Maestra Selection Nº 1 represents the absolute cutting edge of sustainable Mexican distillation, harmonizing deep heritage with forward-thinking botanical science. Produced in small batch runs at NOM 1412 in Arandas, Jalisco, each bottle reflects the true terroir of Los Altos—where high altitude, cool night temperatures, and iron-rich soils coalesce into spirits of unrivaled distinction.
