\Ole! I love a good margarita made with with top tequila. A true aficionado of the Agave spirit, I've tasted many. Okay I'm not tossing out my Patron or 1800, but now there's a new contender for my crown. It's Mayenda, a new luxury sipping tequila that the company says was created to capture lost flavors from the heart of the agave, that recently launched in the United States and Mexico with the introduction of Mayenda Tequila Blanco.

Mayenda was named as a tribute to Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of agave, and celebrates the rich history of the revered plant. Each small batch is carefully crafted at Casa San Nicolás, in Arandas, Jalisco, to ensure a tequila of the highest quality. Mayenda Tequila Blanco, is made with 100% Agave Azul--hand-harvested with a low jima cut (quality that honors the agave.
This distinctive combination of time-honored craft with updated techniques creates an exquisite, rich, and multilayered Blanco tequila with aromas of wildflower honey and cinnamon alongside subtle top notes of orange blossom and fresh grass. Moon-bright in color, the tequila boasts a silky body with undertones of baking spices, fresh herbs and pepper that weave their way through caramelized agave notes. Best enjoyed neat at room temperature, the finish is a lingering echo of citrus, honey, and baking spices.
From the heart of Mexico
"When you walk through the distillery, just as the agave has finished cooking, you're struck by the incredible roasted, caramelized, rich sweetness that envelops your senses," says Mayenda's Maestro Tequilero Jesus Susunaga. "Noticing that some of the most precious aromas and flavors from the agave are lost during the process, we asked ourselves 'how were we going to take these flavors and capture them in a bottle?'"
The Mayenda story is about its creators – the experts in Mexico who brought Mayenda to life by unearthing flavors consumers have never experienced. This extra care and attention to detail also extends to its striking bottle, inspired by handblown Jaliscan glass. The product and packaging are sourced from Mexico, with labels made from 100% reclaimed agave byproduct and featuring the Aztec goddess Mayahuel. As a finishing touch, each bottle is adorned with a copper medallion created by Mexican jeweler Mauricio Serrano.
Mayenda Tequila Blanco sells for about $70 for a 750 mL bottle.
