Atanasio Orígenes Espíritu Fuerte Tequila is a limited, high-proof blanco tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, made as a tribute to tequila as it was produced over a century ago. It is additive-free and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof).

The Story of Atanasio Orígenes

Orígenes was once sold only at the Atanasio distillery in El Medineño, Jalisco, and was so sought after that it finally came to the United States. Maestro Tequilero René Carranza ferments it with at least 10% of the agave fibers left in the vat, the old way, and bottles it at higher strength than the Landeros family’s core tequilas. The result has a lactic, herbal character that draws comparisons to historic tequilas and even to mezcal. Production is limited each year.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Mint, oregano, watermelon rind and a tangy, lactic note
• Palate: Intricate and structured, with red berry, lime zest, wet hay, black pepper and toasted fennel
• Finish: A bolt of candied cinnamon that stings, then vanishes

How to Enjoy

This is a tequila for sipping neat, ideally side by side with Atanasio Blanco to taste the difference fibers and proof make.
