The freshness of agave at its finest
Also known as silver tequila, it is the purest and most direct expression of blue agave. Immediately after distillation, it is bottled directly without aging in barrels. There are exceptions where it is aged for a maximum of two months in barrels, but in practice, it is not usually aged in barrels. This is why this tequila has that crystalline appearance, as it does not undergo barrel aging
Handcrafted method
We’re no longer talking about an industrially produced tequila designed merely to be smooth, but a true liquid work of art. It’s the ultimate fusion of absolute respect for the agave’s origin and the sophistication of high filtration
Brick oven
Steaming the agave hearts for 48 to 72 hours in traditional brick ovens allows the sugars to caramelize deeply and naturally. This imparts rich notes of cooked pumpkin, agave honey, and a smoky sweetness that subsequent filtration fails to erase
TAHONA (stone mill)
The enormous volcanic stone wheel squeezes the agave without violently crushing the fibers; this prevents bitter oils from passing into the distillate, ensuring that the tequila retains a silky texture and a strong presence of minerals and damp earth
Luxury in a bottle
For the discerning connoisseur: it offers the purity, mysticism, and romance of Jalisco’s oldest artisanal process, but dressed in the elegance, visual clarity, and contemporary sophistication demanded by the most exclusive bars and consumers
