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. After double distillation in stainless steel stills, only the "heart of the spirit" is preserved, delivering a vibrant, pure tequila with crystalline clarity and silver hints.
