A new tequila venture founded by former Test Cricket Captain, Adam Gilchrist. The brand’s name, El Arquero , is Spanish for “The Archer” and “The Keeper”. “That’s where the cricket reference ends,” Gilchrist says. “I wanted something that could stand on its own two feet... I’m not a brand ambassador, I’m a founder. I wanted to do it properly.” Adamant that the brand isn't about celebrity or fanciful stories, Gilchrist is genuinely interested in quality. “We didn’t want to just slap a label on someone else’s juice,” he says. “We wanted something authentically made, traditionally distilled, and clean as it gets. No additives, no shortcuts.” So he and his team partnered with the Báñuelos family, third-generation masters and original founders of Cazadores. Their Destiladora de Los Altos distillery has been quietly perfecting the art for over half a century. The Blanco is aimed at being accessible without compromising proper tequila character. Seven year old agaves are harvested to create a bright, herbaceous aroma leading to a refreshingly crisp palate. According to Esquire Magazine, "...clarity shows in the liquid. The Blanco leads with roasted pineapple, citrus and white pepper before sliding into notes of vanilla and lemon. A small portion is aged briefly in oak, just enough to take the sting out of the back end." 38% Alc./Vol.

The original expression of Volcan de mi Tierra, Blanco captures the unique character of the region’s nutrient-rich volcanic terroir – redolent of grapefruit, black pepper and sweet agave. Volcán De Mi Tierra pays homage to and is named after a real volcano that sits in the lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico: El Volcán de Tequila. 200,000 years ago the Tequila volcano erupted and shaped the entire region. Its eruption covered the area in rich volcanic soil, making the area ideal for the growth of blue agave. Volcan De Mi Tierra selects the very best 100% blue weber agave from the Lowlands and the Highlands of the Jalisco region blended to create the most complex yet elegant tequila, with crisp flavours of the heart of the agave.
