Description
A great Tequila requires a connoisseur’s eye and an artist’s touch. Blue Nectar Tequila began with a simple, driving passion to create small-batch artisan tequila with flavors uniquely their own. One of the few family-owned distilleries in the region, it starts with the master Jimadors (agave farmers); who patiently walk the blue agave fields surrounding the estate in the Amatitán valley of Jalisco. They hand select each plant that will be cooked and pressed to release the tantalizing juices held within. This respect for the ingredients and love of the craft results in an impressive range of premium tequila’s that always impress.
The distillery is currently operated by a father son team who carry on the 70-year-old tradition of crafting 100% blue agave Tequila’s. They use only estate-grown agaves grown in rich volcanic soils at an elevation of 4,100 feet. This farm to bottle operation tastes like where it comes from, showcasing this unique terroir. Everything is produced naturally utilizing only agave, water, yeast and North American white oak barrels. It is then assembled by their legendary master blender Guillermo Garcia-Lay. Sometimes simpler is better.
Tasting notes
Double-distilled and aged for one to two years in charred American oak barrels and blended with extra Añejo, including a limited production five year old extra Añejo. It offers a traditional, aged tequila nose, with deep vanilla, dusky barrel char, and sweet caramel notes. The palate is equally well-formed, offering more dark caramel, some chocolate, a touch of maple, and cinnamon. Nicely made!
