The Rodney Dangerfield of Tequila (But Way Better Looking)

There are some tequilas that walk into the room wearing a crown. Everyone turns their heads. “Ohhh, that must be so-and-so,” they whisper. It’s the flashy bottle, the celebrity tie-in, the marketing budget the size of a Marvel movie.

And then… there’s Siembra Alteño Blanco.

No entourage. No fanfare. Just quietly sitting in the corner being really freakin’ good. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield of tequila — it gets no respect. But unlike Rodney, this tequila actually looks sharp, speaks clearly, and doesn’t sweat through its suit.

Let’s talk about what’s happening in the glass, because this one doesn’t whisper — it announces.

Right away, cooked agave and citrus show up — bold, honest, and perfectly balanced. None of that perfumey, cologne department noise. The agave leads, rich and earthy, with a depth that feels old-school in the best possible way. You can tell this isn’t industrial tequila churned out on a conveyor belt. This is agave played on vinyl — warm, classic, layered.

The citrus plays backup — not syrupy, not artificial — more like a clean zest moment that brightens the sip. It’s the kind of citrus that makes you nod and say, “Yup. That’s exactly what it needed.”

The finish? Clean and real. It doesn’t try to be a perfume ad. It lingers politely, then bows out before overstaying its welcome. Like a great guest who helps stack the chairs and grabs his jacket before you have to start hinting at the door.

Siembra is quietly building a hall-of-fame roster of tequilas, and if there were any justice in the world, they’d be front and center on every serious tequila drinker’s shelf. But they’re not chasing the spotlight. They’re just making legendary juice and letting the liquid speak for itself.

And honestly? My bottle is almost empty — and you better believe I’m already buying another. Some tequilas are good enough to sip. This one’s good enough to stockpile.
