A benchmark example of Valles (valley, or “lowlands”) tequila, Atanasio Blanco deftly bridges the gap between historical and modern production methods and taste preferences. The results are graceful, appealing, and once again liminal—here bridging the space between bright, fresh herbs and deep, plush spices.
