Production of the Tequila Selección Oro by Casa de Agave

The base is the blue Weber agave from Mexico. It grows for many years in hot sun and cool nights. Volcanic soils and a dry climate shape the terroir. Only after a mature sugar balance are the piñas harvested, the heart of the agave. The core is gently cooked so that sweet notes and agave aroma remain clear. The distillery uses gentle steam and a slow cooking phase. This releases the sugars cleanly and complexly.

After cooking comes the extraction. A roller mill or the classic tahona separate must and fibers. The mash ferments with a special yeast that is finely tuned to the profile of agave and citrus. The fermentation runs cool and controlled. This brings fresh fruit, clean esters and a clear core.

Distillation takes place in two runs. Copper meets steel for precision and warmth. The master distiller separates heads and tails very strictly. Only the heart remains in the blend. This creates a clear distillate with a fine texture. Pure spring water brings it to 38,0 % vol. It rests so that the body closes and the aromas merge.

The golden tone and the vanilla hint at delicate oak contact. Gentle wood can bring caramel, spice and the warm color. This way the tequila shows roundness without masking the agave. A polished filtration smooths the edges but leaves character and power. In the end it is bottled into the 0,7 l bottle. Each batch goes through sensory checks. Only then does it bear the name Tequila Selección Oro - Casa de Agave.
