About the product
LALO High Proof Blanco Tequila is a bold, full-strength expression crafted to showcase the pure character of premium Blue Weber agave. Produced in Jalisco, Mexico, this tequila is made with a commitment to traditional methods and minimal intervention, allowing the natural flavors of the agave to take center stage. Bottled at 100 proof, it delivers greater intensity, structure, and depth while maintaining the clean, vibrant profile that defines LALO tequila.
Unlike many tequilas that rely on additives or barrel influence, LALO High Proof remains unaged, preserving the true essence of freshly harvested agave. The higher proof amplifies its aromatic complexity and mouthfeel, making it a favorite among tequila enthusiasts, bartenders, and collectors seeking a more powerful Blanco expression.
This tequila is produced using carefully selected mature agave that is slow-cooked to develop rich sweetness before fermentation and distillation. The result is a crisp, expressive spirit that balances brightness, minerality, and natural agave sweetness with a bold finish that lingers on the palate.
Bottled at 50% ABV, LALO High Proof Blanco is versatile enough to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in premium cocktails where its elevated proof allows the tequila’s character to shine through. Whether used to elevate a classic Margarita or savored on its own, this expression delivers a refined yet powerful take on traditional Blanco tequila.

About the brand
LALO Tequila is a premium tequila brand founded by Eduardo “Lalo” González, David R. Carballido, and Jim McDermott. The brand was created with the goal of producing a tequila that reflects the pure and authentic character of agave, focusing on simplicity, transparency, and traditional Mexican craftsmanship.
Eduardo “Lalo” González is a third-generation tequilero and the grandson of Don Julio González, the founder of the renowned Don Julio tequila brand. Growing up in the tequila-producing region of Jalisco, Mexico, González developed a deep understanding of agave cultivation and traditional tequila production, which became the foundation for LALO’s philosophy.
LALO Tequila is crafted using only a few essential ingredients: fully mature Blue Weber agave from the highlands of Jalisco, deep well water, and champagne yeast for fermentation. The agave is slowly cooked, fermented carefully, and double distilled to create a clean and expressive tequila that highlights the natural sweetness and character of the agave plant.
The brand originally focused exclusively on Blanco tequila, believing that an unaged expression best represents the true essence of tequila. By avoiding barrel aging and unnecessary additives, LALO emphasizes purity and clarity of flavor.
Since its launch, LALO has quickly gained recognition among tequila enthusiasts, bartenders, and collectors for its commitment to quality, authenticity, and a modern yet traditional approach to tequila making. The brand continues to grow internationally while maintaining its roots in Jalisco and its dedication to showcasing the true taste of agave.
