Process & Profile
Los Azulejos Gran Alambique Extra Añejo is meticulously crafted using fully mature, 7‚Äì10-year-old agave plants sourced from both the Highlands and Lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This dual-region approach creates a harmonious balance of sweeter, fruity Highland notes and earthy, herbal Lowland flavors. The agave is slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens to unlock its natural sugars, followed by a slow fermentation process that doubles the industry standard for depth and character. After double distillation in copper pot stills, the tequila is aged for over 3 years in carefully selected oak barrels, resulting in a rich, layered, and ultra-premium spirit.
