Fósforo Introduces a Blanco Tequila from the Heart of Los Altos

NEW YORK, NY (April 15, 2026) – Building on the brand’s dedication to exceptional agave spirits, Fósforo introduces Fósforo Tequila, a blanco expression crafted in the heart of the Los Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco.

While many tequila producers trace their roots to the Lowlands surrounding the town of Tequila, long associated with the category’s legacy expressions, Fósforo’s newest release is born in the red clay soils of Los Altos, where higher elevations yield agave known for floral aromatics, bright fruit character, and a natural sweetness.

“For us, it always starts with the agave,” said Lisa Detwiler, Founder of Fósforo. “We looked to the highlands of Jalisco for our tequila because the agave matured in the Los Altos region develops a beautiful citrus character and verdant minerality that we love. As with everything we make, it is important that our tequila reflects the same quality and clarity that define the Fósforo brand. The result is a bright, balanced blanco that’s clean, approachable, and unmistakably agave forward.”

In the glass, Fósforo Tequila beautifully expresses its highland terroir. Cooked agave, fresh lemon, and melon open on the nose, leading into delicate white florals and a whisper of cinnamon on the palate, with soft minerality and a clean, lifted finish. Made from high-altitude agave and fermented with a proprietary champagne yeast blend, this new blanco is the perfect complement to any margarita. The tequila is produced by tequilera Miriam López, whose work with some of the region’s most respected distilleries has helped shape the modern fabric of Highlands expressions—one that emphasizes approachability and a nod to tradition. Together, these elements create a tequila that is both delicate and structured, an unmistakable signature of Los Altos.

Fósforo Tequila will be available beginning April 15, nationwide and online. MSRP: $39.99
