Mijenta Maestra Selection No. 3 Tequila Blanco is the third limited-edition release in Mijenta's experimental Maestra Selection series, a collection designed around the creative vision of acclaimed Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero.

Rather than treating blanco tequila simply as an unaged entry point, the Maestra Selection program explores how agave, terroir, fermentation and proof can shape a highly expressive tequila without relying on barrel aging. Mijenta's broader production philosophy centers on just agave, water and yeast, allowing the natural character of the Blue Weber agave to remain at the forefront.

Maestra Selection No. 3 is bottled at an elevated 50% ABV / 100 proof, giving the tequila additional body, aromatic intensity and structure compared with standard-proof blanco tequila. The supplied bottle confirms 100% Agave Azul, 750mL format and the high-proof presentation, while the release continues the series' emphasis on small-production, collector-oriented tequila.

The presentation is equally distinctive. Mexican artist Sofía Castellanos is credited with the vibrant floral packaging, which surrounds Mijenta's signature golden rabbit with bold colors inspired by Mexican decorative art. The result is a bottle designed to stand out both on a tequila shelf and as a premium gift.

Because this is an extremely new release, official No. 3-specific tasting notes have not yet been published by Mijenta and independent reviews remain scarce. The suggested profile below is therefore written as informed house-style guidance rather than an official tasting note. Mijenta's blancos are known for agave-forward character, citrus, herbs, minerality, pepper and a silky texture, while the 100-proof strength should give No. 3 a richer and more concentrated presentation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Concentrated cooked agave, fresh citrus, floral notes and herbal freshness, backed by pepper, earthy minerality and a subtle natural sweetness.

Palate: Full-bodied and silky with sweet roasted agave, lemon and orange zest, green herbs, black pepper and mineral character, amplified by the 100-proof strength.

Finish: Long, warming and agave-driven with lingering pepper, citrus oils, herbs and clean mineral notes.

How to Enjoy

Serve Mijenta Maestra Selection No. 3 neat in a tequila tasting glass or copita and allow it a few minutes to open. Its 100-proof strength should reward slower sipping, allowing the cooked agave, citrus, herbal and mineral elements to develop gradually.

A few drops of water can soften the alcohol intensity and make the agave and floral notes more expressive. For a chilled presentation, pour over one large cube rather than crushed ice.

Although especially suited to sipping, its high proof can also stand up beautifully in an elevated Margarita, Tommy's Margarita, Paloma or Ranch Water, where the tequila remains prominent rather than disappearing behind citrus or dilution.
