Tromba is a tequila that hails from the beautiful highlands of Jalisco, specifically from the town of Los Altos. This region is known for its rugged beauty, with rolling hills and breathtaking landscapes. Being situated at an elevation of over 5200 ft, Los Altos experiences unique weather conditions that contribute to the exceptional quality of the agave plants grown there.
I had the pleasure of visiting Los Altos and witnessing firsthand the passion and pride that the people of this region have for their tequila production. The town itself is charming, with cobblestone streets and colorful buildings that exude a sense of history and tradition. It was evident that tequila is deeply ingrained in the culture and heritage of the area.
During my visit, I had the opportunity to meet Marco and Rodrigo, the creators of Tromba tequila. They shared with me their journey and the inspiration behind their brand. They explained that their goal was to create a tequila that they themselves love drinking and that they can proudly share with their loved ones.
I was struck by their commitment to quality and their dedication to crafting a tequila that truly embodies the essence of Los Altos. They explained that they carefully select the finest agave plants from their own estate and from trusted local growers. This attention to detail ensures that only the best agave is used in the production of Tromba.
The process of making Tromba is a labor of love. The agave plants are harvested by hand, and the hearts, or piñas, are slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens. This slow cooking process allows the agave to develop its unique flavors and aromas. After roasting, the piñas are crushed to extract their sweet juices, which are then fermented and distilled to create the final product.
What struck me most about Tromba is its distinct flavor profile. It is smooth and approachable, with hints of citrus and vanilla that linger on the palate. This is a tequila that can be enjoyed neat or in your favorite cocktail, and it never fails to impress.
Reflecting on my visit to Los Altos and my experience with Tromba, I can confidently say that this tequila is a true representation of the region. It captures the spirit and essence of the highlands, with its rugged beauty and rich history. Whether enjoyed in the company of friends or savored in solitude, Tromba is a tequila that brings people together and celebrates the beauty of Jalisco.
