How It Differs

Within the Olmeca line, Blanco is the unaged clear tequila and Olmeca Gold is the darker, sweeter pour, which is why it is the one most often reached for in mixed drinks rather than sipped. Olmeca Altos is a separate line and is not the same product. The rest of the Olmeca range is here, with our other tequila, and our rum shelf if you want the other kind of cane and agave sweetness.

How to Serve

Chilled, in a shot with salt and lime, or in a Paloma with grapefruit soda. It also stands up well in a Margarita, where the sweeter profile means you can pull back slightly on the sugar.

Ideal for: Parties, a first tequila bottle, cocktail making at home.

Pairs with: Grilled satay with peanut sauce, chilli pan mee, Indian-Malaysian tandoori chicken, and anything off a charcoal grill with lime.
