Process & Profile
Agave: Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, known for producing sweeter, fruitier piñas due to the region’s elevation and mineral-rich soil.
Distillation: Twice distilled to preserve the agave’s natural flavors while refining the texture for long oak aging.
Aging: Aged for 5 full years in French white oak barrels. This extended aging imparts a deep amber color and layers of complex, dessert-like flavors.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and expressive with a multitude of fruity aromas—ripe fig, dried cherry, and plum—interwoven with toasted oak and hints of vanilla and spice.
Palate: Luxuriously smooth with flavors of dark caramel, spiced honey, dried fruit, and warm oak. A gentle sweetness develops mid-palate with refined structure and depth.
Finish: Long and elegant. A crescendo of fruit, roasted oak, and toffee lingers with a silky sweetness and touch of spice.

So smooth
This is my new favorite nightcap. Smooth finish, just the right amount of sweetness. Doesn’t need anything mixed. One rock is perfect.

Lack of communication
I appreciate that they have some very fine tequilas. what I didn’t appreciate was two weeks after ordering My order had not been Fulfilled, and I received now communications that there was going to be a delay. Furthermore, I found it difficult to have to enter my order number every time I wanted to make a correspondence. However, the tequila did finally arrive it was packaged very well. I’m not sure if I will order from them again or not.
