TEQUILA
Corralejo Tequila was founded in 1755 and was
the first commercial producer of tequila in Mexico, with copper
pot stills from Spain, wood-fired adobe brickovens, and French oak
barrels for aging. Today, over 200 years later, tequila production
continues at Corralejo much as it did in the past. Hand-harvested
weber blue agave hearts (pinas) are slowly baked in adobe ovens,
then crushed in a stone mill; the "aguamiel" (honey water)
is fermetned, then double-distilled in copper pot stills, and aged
in barrels made from Limousin white oak barrels from France. Each
Corralejo bottle is hand-blown and hand-labeled, individually numbered
and registered to ensure its authenticity. Corralejo Tequila takes
pride in its heritage as the top quality, hand-crafted producer
of Mexico's first and finest tequila.
Tasting Notes: fruit-filled, with hints of pepper,
exceptionally smooth and clean, this is a rare and unforgettable
experience.
