Siempre Tequila is crafted using blue Weber agave sourced from both the highlands of Jalisco and the valley of Tequila. This unique combination of agave from different regions creates a truly exceptional and well-balanced tequila.
The use of agave from the highlands and the valley brings together the best characteristics of each region. The highlands of Jalisco are known for their cooler climate and rich soil, which results in agave that has a sweeter, fruitier flavor profile. On the other hand, the valley of Tequila has a warmer climate, which leads to agave with earthier and spicier notes. By combining agave from these two regions, Siempre Tequila achieves a harmonious blend of flavors.
The careful selection and harvesting of the blue Weber agave is of utmost importance in the production of Siempre Tequila. Only fully mature agave plants, which can take anywhere from 8 to 12 years to reach maturity, are used. This ensures that the agave has developed the optimal sugar content and flavor complexity.
Once the agave is harvested, it undergoes a traditional production process to extract its sweet nectar. The agave hearts, or piñas, are slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens, which imparts a distinct flavor to the tequila. After cooking, the piñas are crushed to extract the juice, which is then fermented and distilled to create the base spirit.
Siempre Tequila takes great pride in its distillation process, which is carried out using copper pot stills. Copper is known for its ability to remove impurities and create a smoother, more refined spirit. The tequila is distilled to the perfect strength, ensuring that it retains the rich flavors and aromas of the agave.
After distillation, Siempre Tequila is aged in American oak barrels. This aging process adds depth and complexity to the tequila, as it absorbs the flavors and characteristics of the wood. The length of aging can vary, with Siempre offering both Blanco (unaged) and Reposado (aged for at least two months) expressions.
Siempre Tequila is made using blue Weber agave from both the highlands of Jalisco and the valley of Tequila. This combination of agave from different regions results in a tequila that is perfectly balanced in terms of flavor and complexity. The careful selection, harvesting, and production process ensure that Siempre Tequila is of the highest quality and provides an exceptional tasting experience.
