Description
General Gorostieta Tequila Blanco is a profound tribute to the legendary leader of the Cristero War, crafted with the same discipline and precision that defined the General himself. This exceptional spirit is born from estate-grown agave harvested at a staggering 7,200 feet, where the extreme altitude creates an intense, natural sweetness that shines through every drop. In a unique twist of artistry, the fermentation process at the distillery is serenaded by classical music, a practice believed to help the yeast create a more refined and elegant profile. The result is a silky, high-altitude tequila that feels both historic and incredibly polished.
