Tapatio Blanco Tequila, 50 cl

Product Information

Una de las razones por las que en general tomo más mezcal que tequila es esa, me gustan las altas concentraciones ya que prefiero tomar poco fuerte que mucho y ligero. The El Tesoro line of tequilas is a personal favorite of mine. They grow their agave in the highlands region of Jalisco in a high altitude with mineral-rich soil. Their blanco is particularly peppery with really pleasant fresh grassy notes. It’s great on its own or makes a surprisingly complex Margarita.” —Bryan Schneider, bar director, Quality Branded, NYC A principios del siglo XIX, los antepasados ​​de Don Felipe Camarena comenzaron a destilar tequila en su rancho ubicado en la región de las tierras altas de Jalisco.

Made by Felipe Camarena, G4 is a testament to the mad scientist approach he takes in producing his tequilas. From modifying steamrollers to crush his agave, through to collecting and using rainwater in this tequila, he doesn’t take any shortcuts. The result is an expressive, floral nose and an oily, viscous palate with incredible minerality, cream, agave and spicy white pepper. Alc 40% Hoy, Don Carlos Camarena, nieto de Felipe y maestro destilador de tercera generación de La Alteña, rinde homenaje a su apellido manteniendo los estándares de excelencia marcados por sus antepasados.Tequila Ocho Plata: It’s an estate-grown tequila with prominent agave flavor and citrus notes that do not overpower other ingredients.” —Eric Lambright, lead bartender, Sorry Charlie’s, Savannah, Ga. Otra buena opción es beberlo en las rocas y si usas una piedras para whisky aún mejor por que así no diluyes el tequila. Tequila Tapatío

Don Julio is named after the brand’s founder, Don Julio Gonzalez, who started making Tequila in 1942 when he was 17 years old. The flavour profile of Don Julio Blanco is hailed as a classic, balancing creamy and peppery characters with a vegetal note, some lemon, pastry and a clear minerality. Alc 40% Después del conflicto, Don Felipe comenzó a cultivar y vender agave a otros destiladores de Jalisco. En 1937, luego de ahorrar con cuidado y vivir frugalmente durante muchos años, Don Felipe compró una parcela de propiedad en las montañas de Arandas en Jalisco, y abrió las puertas de la Destilería La Alteña. The blue agave plant can reach eight feet in height and matures at around six years old. Sugars collect in the core of the plant, the piña. Producers chop up the piñas and cook them in large ovens, then press the juices from the cooked pieces and ferment them with yeast. Mientras que otros productores destilan tequila a una prueba más alta y luego diluyen el tequila con agua para aumentar los rendimientos, Tapatio Tequila se destila a 80 grados para crear un tequila más sabroso y robusto. Like wine and other unique spirits, tequila is produced according to regulations that govern its appellation of origin. Tequila may only be made in the state of Jalisco, which includes the town of Tequila, and parts of the surrounding states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit and Tamaulipas. It must be made from blue agave and in accordance with additional rules for ingredients and aging. Spirits made using other agave species or elsewhere in Mexico are classified as mezcal.Since Tapatio’s launch, each batch of the brand’s tequila has been produced at Jalisco’s La Alteña, a now-famed distillery raised by Camarena. This wasn’t the founder’s first agave-related venture: While the Camarena family has been involved in tequila production since the early 1800s, they were forced to cease tequila distilling in 1910 when their family distillery burned down during the Mexican Revolution. Despite this, the Camarenas remained an integral part of the production process, and prior to establishing La Alteña, Don Filipe had made a career out of growing and selling agave for other tequila producers in the region. He constructed La Alteña on the very estate where his existing agave grew, began distilling tequila from plants harvested on the land, and called the spirit Tapatio. La Alteña is now home to Tequila Tapatio, Tequila Ocho, and El Tesoro, all of which are exclusively produced using agave sourced on the estate grounds. Today, Don Felipe’s grandson Carlos Camarena serves as La Alteña’s master distiller.
