We're eagerly anticipating hosting a tasting featuring El Tesoro, aptly known as "The Treasure of Jalisco." Crafted for generations at the venerable La Alteña distillery, El Tesoro embodies a profound dedication to tradition and the expressive power of Highland blue weber agave. Their process is a tribute to time-honored tequila making: estate-grown agave nurtured in mineral-rich soil, hand-harvesting by skilled jimadors, gentle crushing with the ancient tahona stone, open-air fermentation, and meticulous double distillation – all combining to create tequila with undeniable soul.
This is your chance to experience the magic of La Alteña firsthand as we pour a selection of their award-winning, agave-forward expressions. We'll explore the vibrant, unaged El Tesoro Blanco, showcasing the pure, sweet essence of agave with hints of citrus and pepper – a Double Gold winner. Then, discover the El Tesoro Reposado, rested 9-11 months in ex-bourbon barrels, where the bright agave gracefully intertwines with warm notes of vanilla and spice. Finally, savor the El Tesoro Añejo, aged two to three years, achieving a complex harmony between rich oak character, floral notes, and the enduring agave spirit.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to trace the evolution of exceptional tequila, from the pure agave expression to the sophisticated influence of oak aging.
