Amatiteña - Blanco Tequila 100% De Agave Azul

Recently named a UNESCO World Heritage site, the community of Amatitán, Jalisco, is home to the oldest recorded evidence of employing fermenters and stills to make agave spirits (aka vino de mezcal) in all of Mexico—particularly in the famous valley below the ancient Volcano Tequila. Embracing the future of that heritage by returning to tequila’s roots, Amatiteña aims to express this historic terroir with as much depth and integrity as possible. The brand is unique in today’s market: a single-estate tequila, made exclusively using artisanal methods that date back to the early 19^thCentury or before.

The core expression from Amatiteña plants a flag, early and proud. With powerful aromas that strike the nose long before the glass reaches your lips, every batch is a unique statement of time and terroir.
