Process & Profile
Tequila Atanasio Artesanal Blanco is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. It begins with hand-selected Blue Weber Agave, carefully cultivated for 6-7 years to ensure peak maturity and optimal sugar content. The agave hearts are slow-cooked in stainless steel autoclaves for 16 hours, followed by an 8-hour cooling process, preserving the natural flavors. The juice is extracted using a roller mill for maximum sweetness and then undergoes open-air fermentation, which imparts unique local character.
