Mi Familia Flores tequila is produced in Mexico, specifically in the region of Jalisco. Jalisco is renowned for its production of tequila and is the birthplace of this iconic Mexican spirit. The region's rich volcanic soil and ideal climate create the perfect conditions for growing the blue agave plant, which is the main ingredient in tequila.
I had the pleasure of visiting Jalisco a few years ago and was amazed by the stunning landscapes of rolling blue agave fields. It was truly a sight to behold, with row upon row of these majestic plants reaching towards the sky. The agave plants in Jalisco are known for their high sugar content, which contributes to the exceptional quality of tequila produced in the region.
Within Jalisco, Mi Familia Flores tequila is specifically crafted in the town of Tequila, which is often referred to as the heart of the tequila industry. Tequila is not just a drink in Tequila; it is a way of life. The town is steeped in centuries of tequila-making tradition, and it is evident in every sip of Mi Familia Flores tequila.
The distillery where Mi Familia Flores tequila is produced is a family-owned and operated establishment. The Flores family has been making tequila for generations, and their expertise and dedication shine through in every bottle. I had the privilege of meeting the Flores family during my visit, and their passion for tequila was truly inspiring.
The production process of Mi Familia Flores tequila is meticulous and adheres to traditional methods. The blue agave plants are harvested by hand, and the piñas, or the hearts of the agave, are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens. This slow-cooking process allows the flavors of the agave to develop fully, resulting in a tequila that is rich and complex.
After the agave is cooked, it is crushed to extract the juice, which is then fermented and distilled. Mi Familia Flores tequila is aged in oak barrels, which imparts a beautiful depth and complexity to the final product. The reposado expression, in particular, is aged for a minimum of two months, allowing it to develop a smooth and well-rounded flavor profile.
Mi Familia Flores tequila is a true representation of the craftsmanship and tradition that goes into making tequila in Jalisco. It is a testament to the Flores family's commitment to producing exceptional tequila that showcases the unique flavors of the region. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, Mi Familia Flores tequila is sure to impress even the most discerning tequila enthusiasts.
