Production of the Tequila Blanco from Casa del Agave

Tequila is made from the agave. For this the distillery selects ripe hearts, the piñas. Experts cut the leaves cleanly away. This leaves the core pure and rich in aroma.

The piñas are slowly cooked. The heat breaks down the starch into sugars. This brings depth and a clear sweetness of the agave. After that the hearts are crushed. Traditionally rollers or a stone tahona are used. The juice and the fibers provide the mash.

In the next step fermentation begins. Pure yeast converts sugar into alcohol. The temperature is kept in the ideal range. This way aromas remain fresh, clear and precise. Herbal, mint and lemon balm notes from the agave emerge finely.

The still separates the essence. The first run shapes the core. The second distillation polishes the profile. Copper brings brightness and clean edges in the aroma. The heart cut shows strength without harshness. Thus the style remains precise and soft.

As a Blanco the distillate rests in steel or glass. It does not age in casks. The spirit of the agave thus stays fully in focus. Only afterwards is pure water added.

The result: a zesty, straightforward tequila. With agave at its core, herbs in the aroma and a smooth, peppery draw.
