TEZON ANEJO TEQUILLA

100% De Agave. Exclusively Tahona handcrafted. Tezon takes its name from the indigenous volcanic mineral, known locally as Tezontle, from which we fashion the traditional wheel-press, or Tahona - the cornerstone of our unique production process. In the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico's red volcanic soil provides the perfect environment for the very best blue agave. We hand-harvest and prepare our agave to ensure that only the best goes into Olmeca Tezon, giving it its unique flavor and authenticity. After harvesting, our blue agave is gently cooked in mamposteria brick-ovens for 3 days. The temperature and cooking conditions are carefully regulated and again great skill is called for to get the very best of the agave pina. The Tahona is the traditional wheel press. Although more time efficient technology exists, we use this time-honored tool to gently mash the pinas allowing both the juice and fibers to develop an extraordinary level of flavor and complexity. The Spirit of Tezon lies in its transformation from solid to liquid, via our unique handcrafted process. Here, the agave fibers and juices are distilled in small batch copper-pot stills, slowly creating Tezon from the heart of the agave, a truly amazing tequila. Once the distillation process is complete, Tezon is laid to slumber and age in white-oak casks. The result is a fragrant and smooth, full-bodied tequila we are sure you will enjoy. 40% Alc./vol.
