Production Details:
Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested at peak maturity from the red clay soils of Jalisco, the hearts (piñas) are slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens for over 36 hours, then crushed and naturally fermented. Double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged for one year in American oak barrels, the result is an Añejo of depth, complexity, and exceptional smoothness. Each bottle is hand-painted by local artisans in Tonalá, turning every decanter into a unique representation of Mexico’s artistic heritage.
