Process & Profile
Avión Tequila is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, known for producing sweeter and richer agave. The process begins with the hand-harvesting of fully ripened agave, slow-roasted for 72 hours in traditional brick ovens to enhance caramelized sweetness. Following open-air fermentation and double distillation in small copper pot stills, the tequila undergoes meticulous aging.
