Tequila is extraordinary because its production still hinges on the centuries-old knowledge of jimadores - farmers who harvest the blue agave plant, and who are able to tell when it's ready to be harvested. Once the spiky leaves are trimmed away, the core of the plant is baked, mashed, and then the juice is fermented and distilled. Depending on the method and time, tequila can be silver (or blanco), joven/oro (flavoured or blended silver tequila), reposado (rested/aged), anejo (aged) or extra anejo. Silver tequila is pretty harsh, but makes a great base for cocktails; while reposado and anejo can make great sipping tequila - in Mexico, it's normally consumed neat, and the differences in quality are easily tasted.

 

And what's the difference between tequila and mezcal? Well, tequila is always made from blue agave, while mezcal can be from any type of agave. The more you know!

  1. Don Ramón Punta Diamante Reposado is double-distilled and rested in white oak, resulting in a smooth, subtle taste and robust profile. Made from 100% Blue Agave from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, this golden spirit can be described as spiced and herbaceous with an essence of caramel pulled from the barrel.
    $57.95 Bottle
  2. According to the ancient Mesoamericans, the number 400 was synonymous with innumerable. Don Tacho and his son, Joel Santiago, created and named this mezcal after the belief that the spirits of 400 rabbits take over one's body and behaviour when it is ingested. 400 Conejos Joven Mezcal is produced traditionally using mesquite and encino oak as the heat source to cook the espadín agaves for the underground conical oven.

  6. Aromas of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, and earth are invitingly present. Slightly brighter and a touch more rustic than the regular blanco, the accents of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal qualities in the flavor are enhanced because it comes straight from our small copper pot still, without adding water prior to bottling.
    $161.95 Bottle

  9. Alipus San Juan del Rio is made with agave Espadin. Alipus started working with Joel Antonio Cruz for this release, however the family turned over distillation to Joel’s younger cousin Rodolfo Juan Juarez a few years ago. This mezcal is distinguished by the conditions of the plants location in reddish and white soils, and long fermentation periods, which will mark the mineral and chalky tones.
    $103.95 Bottle
  10. Ilegal mezcal starts with 100% espadín agave grown in the fields of Tlacolula, Mexico and harvested at nearly 10 years of age.

After natural fermentation, it is distilled once in stainless-steel alembic stills and then again in copper alembic. The reposado is aged 4 months in American oak.
