A brand new premium Blanco Tequila arrives that is so much more than a pretty face.
Michael Dolan already had a long and successful career in entertainment and marketing when he stepped in as CEO at Bacardi. Almost as soon as he retired he started dreaming of his next venture. And in 2020 he partnered with Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero and experienced ambassador Juan Coronado to create Mijenta Tequila. The Blanco and Reposado editions are available now with a rumored Añejo coming as soon as the casks are sufficiently aged to perfection. Keep an eye on this one.
Mijenta Tequila Blanco is the first release and it is quite an impressive one. Dolan hired the best to craft his new signature Spirit and that means quality in every drop. In just its first few months it has been awarded its first medal and been rated at 97 Points by The Tasting Panel Magazine.
It’s a Tequila, so you know it is made from 100% Weber Blue agave. These came from the red clay soils of the Los Altos region in the Highlands of Jalisco. Maestra Tequilera Romero is something of a legend with more than 25 years making Tequila and she personally oversaw every aspect of production — from field to bottle — and it shows.
Smartass Corner:
The name "Mijenta" is a brandable derivative of the Spanish "mi gente," meaning "my people."

Tequila goes bad with time. Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidization and evaporation diminish the Tequila quality and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.
In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
Tequila is like Champagne or Cognac. It has a Denomination of Origin, meaning it can only be produced in the Jalisco State, Mexico.
The strongest Tequila available for sale clocks in at 75% ABV (150 proof). This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but drinking huge amounts of this spirit is likely te-quil-a.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged tequila.
