Tres Generaciones tequila is produced by the Sauza family, specifically by Don Francisco Javier Sauza, the third generation of the family. The Sauza family has a long and rich history in the tequila industry, dating back to 1873 when Don Cenobio Sauza founded the Casa Sauza distillery.
As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of exploring and tasting a wide variety of tequilas, and Tres Generaciones is truly a standout brand. The craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every bottle is evident, and it is clear that the Sauza family takes great pride in their heritage and in producing high-quality tequila.
I have had the opportunity to visit the Casa Sauza distillery in Mexico, and it was a truly incredible experience. The distillery is located in the town of Tequila, in the heart of the Jalisco region, where the blue agave plants used to make tequila are grown. The process of making tequila is fascinating, and at Casa Sauza, they have perfected their techniques over generations.
One of the things that sets Tres Generaciones apart is their commitment to using only the finest, hand-selected blue agave plants. These plants are grown in the highlands of Jalisco, where the volcanic soil and ideal climate create the perfect conditions for producing agave with exceptional flavor and character.
Once the agave plants are harvested, they are cooked in traditional brick ovens, which helps to release the sugars and flavors from the plant. The cooked agave is then crushed and the juice is extracted, which is fermented and distilled to create the tequila.
Tres Generaciones offers a range of tequilas, including their Plata (Silver), Reposado, and Añejo expressions. Each expression has its own unique characteristics and flavor profile, but they all share a commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
The Plata tequila is unaged and has a clean, crisp flavor with notes of citrus and herbs. It is the perfect base for cocktails or for sipping neat.
The Reposado tequila is aged for at least six months in oak barrels, which imparts a smooth, mellow character to the spirit. It has a slightly sweet, caramel flavor with hints of vanilla and spice.
The Añejo tequila is aged for a minimum of one year, allowing it to develop rich, complex flavors. It has notes of chocolate, dried fruit, and oak, with a smooth, velvety texture.
Tres Generaciones tequila is made by the Sauza family, specifically by Don Francisco Javier Sauza, the third generation of the family. Their commitment to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every bottle, and their tequilas are a true celebration of the heart of tequila. Whether you prefer a crisp, unaged Plata, a mellow Reposado, or a rich, aged Añejo, Tres Generaciones has a tequila to suit your taste.
