El Negocio Joven is a Blanco, or “young,” tequila that showcases the vibrant agave flavors at the heart of all great tequilas. Produced by one of the oldest tequila distilleries in Jalisco, this 100% blue Weber agave spirit delivers an authentic, unaged tequila experience.
Right off the bat, the nose gives you a big whiff of fresh agave, green vegetation, citrus zest, and white pepper spice. The background has subtle, sweet hints of caramel and vanilla, but the agave is the star. On the palate, that bright, lively agave expression continues with grassy, herbal flavors, zippy citrus pith, and a building black pepper warmth. The body is lightweight yet smooth and satisfying.
As you continue sipping El Negocio Joven, the black pepper notes intensify, joined by buttery, toasted agave richness. The finish is crisp and clean, with that refreshing pepper kick lingering alongside honey sweetness and fresh agave grass. While not overly complex, it’s a vibrantly flavorful blanco that allows the terroir and traditional production methods to shine through.
At 40% ABV, this eminently sippable tequila can also work well in cocktails where you want that classic agave backbone. While budget-priced, it delivers quality flavors that punch well above its weight class. For tequila purists and agave lovers, El Negocio Joven makes for an excellent choice as an introduction to the joys of this heritage spirit. It’s an honest, no-frills tequila that gets right to the delicious heart of the matter.
