Process & Profile
Crafted with passion and precision, the 123 Organic Extra Añejo Diablito begins its journey in a small parcel of organic blue Weber agave cultivated at a lofty 6,000 feet in the mineral-rich red volcanic soils of Amatit√°n, Jalisco. The heart of the agave, or piñas, are traditionally slow-cooked in stone ovens for 38 hours to enhance their rich flavors. After careful extraction of sweet agave juice, the liquid undergoes meticulous distillation. The tequila is then aged for 40 months in new, small 114-liter American oak barrels, carefully chosen to impart refined complexity while preserving the agave's natural essence. The result is an incredibly limited production tequila that is a testament to the artistry of Master Distiller David Ravandi.Tasting Notes
