Spirited Saturday - Tequila & Tequila Cocktails

ElVelo Tequila Blanco

ElVelo Tequila celebrates the distinctive character of the Tequila Valley – 100% Puro de Agave, sourced entirely from its volcanic-rich soils.

Conceived in collaboration with second-generation Master Distiller Carlos Hernandez Ramos of La Cofradia and thought-leading craft cocktail bartenders, with the goal of producing a Tequila that makes the very best cocktails – from the Margarita, to the Paloma, to the Rosita, and beyond.

Don Fulano Blanco Fuerte Overproof 100 proof

Don Fulano Fuerte is the original over-proof. Profoundly aromatic, with floral glimmers of jasmine and orange blossom. This overproof tequila shows its complex terroir, high minerality and wet cement. Yellow apple and cooked, mature agave round out this expression and make it soft and smooth despite its higher proof. Grassiness from volcanic well water shows in this pure and ethereal tequila. Unusually generous in its complexity and long finish, this is a one-of-a-kind overproof.

ArteNOM 1123 Blanco Historico

The Rosales family produces ArteNOM Blanco Histórico 1123 in El Arenal, Jalisco at their renowned Destilería Cascahuín from lower-brix valley agave that are the hallmark of the Lowland tequila style: earthy, vegetal, herbaceous, and slightly peppery. This selección is made from those valley plants which, once distilled into tequila, are barrel-conditioned for 21-28 days in brandy casks that previously held Oaxacan mezcal, such as high-end blanco tequilas from the Tequila Valley were sometimes prepared in the early 1900s. For this reason, this expression is referred to as a "Blanco Histórico."
