Production Process:

• Agave Source: Single estate agaves, matured for 7-10 years, are carefully selected to ensure rich flavor and complexity.
• Blending: A unique blend of Tequila Blanco and 22-24 month aged Añejo. The Blanco brings fresh, vibrant agave flavors, while the Añejo adds depth and complexity with its time spent in American oak barrels.
• Cooking: The agaves are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize and develop rich flavors.
• Crushing: Roller milling is used to extract the sweet agave juice, ensuring a consistent and pure extraction.
• Fermentation: Open-air fermentation with natural yeast, using deep well water and natural spring sources, enhances the tequila’s rich and authentic profile.
• Distillation: Double distilled in copper pot stills, which helps to refine and concentrate the tequila’s complex flavors.
• Aging: The Añejo component is aged in American oak barrels for 22-24 months, imparting notes of wood, vanilla, and spices.
