This single-barrel añejo tequila is a magnificent find for anyone who appreciates truly authentic craft spirits. The journey begins with certified organic agave harvested from a single family estate, which is then slow-cooked for nearly two days in a historic brick oven built in 1911. To capture the true essence of the land, the distillers partnered with scientists to isolate a wild yeast strain found directly on the agave leaves, creating an incredibly rich profile during fermentation. Bottled at a slightly higher proof to keep all its natural flavors intact, this additive-free gem offers a wonderfully rich, velvety experience to savor slowly.
