Process & Profile
Tequila Atanasio's journey begins with expertly harvested Blue Weber agave plants, grown to peak maturity over 6-7 years for optimal sugar development. Using time-honored artisanal techniques, the agaves are steamed in stainless steel autoclaves to preserve their natural essence. Once cooked, the juice is extracted using a roller mill, fermented in open-air conditions for nuanced flavor, and double-distilled in stainless steel stills to ensure purity and balance. The Reposado expression is aged for three months in American white oak barrels that were previously used for bourbon. This brief aging period allows the tequila to retain its vibrant agave character while acquiring subtle hints of oak, vanilla, and spices.Tasting Notes
