Solento Organic Tequila Debuts Its High-Proof Blanco and Reposado, Celebrating the Purity of Organic Agave and Volcanic Water

San Diego California — Solento Organic Tequila, the single-estate organic tequila, today introduced High Proof Blanco and High Proof Reposado. Both are bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV), proofed with deep volcanic well water, and made for slow, neat sipping. The pair will be available now.

Organic soil, volcanic water

The flavor starts in the ground. Agave spends years in the field before harvest, taking its character from the soil it grows in. Solento's agave is grown on a single estate in USDA-certified organic soil, farmed without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, so the spirit reflects the land rather than the inputs.

Much of the recent high-proof conversation has centered on how little water goes in or how high the proof can climb. Solento chose its water as carefully as its agave, proofing with water from deep volcanic wells. In the Blanco, it shapes a peppery, mineral-driven core; in the Reposado, it gives the spirit a backbone that holds the American oak in balance. At 96 proof, less is diluted away, so the earthiness and natural sweetness of the agave come through in the glass.

"For us, high proof was never about how hot or how loud a tequila can get," said Taylor Steele, founder of Solento Organic Tequila. "It's about giving the agave more room to show where it came from the organic estate, the volcanic water, the oak. There's just more to find in every sip."

The expressions

Solento High Proof Blanco (96 proof / 48% ABV)

Concentrated and peppery, with a dense texture and a long, commanding finish. The most direct expression of the agave in Solento's lineup.

Solento High Proof Reposado (96 proof / 48% ABV)

Aged in American oak, it layers caramelized agave, toasted vanilla, baking spice and a touch of oak char. Rich and structured, the oak adds depth without masking the agave.
