Its aroma bursts with fresh blue agave, tangy lime zest, and green apple, layered with hints of black pepper and a subtle grassy freshness. On the palate, it’s light and invigorating, offering a smooth, sweet core of raw agave, bright citrus, and a touch of herbal vibrancy, finishing with a crisp, peppery zing that lingers. Ideal for chilled shots with a pinch of salt and a lime wedge or mixing into cocktails like a Nairobi Night Margarita with fresh passion fruit, it’s a refreshing choice for Kenya’s warm evenings.

Crafted with Mexican Vitality
Olmeca Blanco is produced at Destileria Colonial de Jalisco in Arandas, using hand-harvested blue agave from the Los Altos highlands. The agave piñas are slow-cooked for up to three days in traditional brick ovens, then crushed with a blend of modern rollers and a tahona millstone to extract the sweet aguamiel. After fermentation with yeast, the liquid is double-distilled in copper pot stills and bottled unaged to preserve its vibrant, raw agave profile. As a mixto tequila, it’s blended with cane sugar for a smooth, approachable sweetness. This process, as noted by Pernod Ricard, creates a “bold, lively blanco” that resonates with Nairobi’s energetic, party-ready crowd, blending Mexican tradition with modern accessibility.
