Tavi Tequila is made in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This region is renowned for producing some of the finest tequilas in the world, thanks to its unique climate and soil conditions. The Highlands, also known as Los Altos, is located in the central part of Jalisco and is characterized by its high elevation and cool climate.
One of the key factors that sets Tavi Tequila apart is the hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves that are used in its production. These agaves are carefully grown in the rich red clay soil of the Highlands, which imparts a distinct flavor profile to the tequila. The agaves take around 7-8 years to mature before they are harvested, ensuring that only the highest quality plants are used.
The process of crafting Tavi Tequila is a labor of love, with attention to detail at every step. The agaves are harvested by skilled jimadors, who carefully remove the leaves to reveal the sweet, succulent piñas at the core. These piñas are then slowly roasted in traditional brick ovens, which is a time-consuming process that allows the flavors to develop and intensify.
Once the piñas are roasted, they are crushed to extract the sweet juice, which is then fermented using natural yeast. This fermentation process can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on the desired flavors and aromas. After fermentation, the liquid is distilled in small copper stills, which helps to further refine and purify the tequila.
Tavi Tequila takes pride in being a small batch, ultra-premium tequila, which means that each batch is meticulously crafted and carefully monitored to ensure consistent quality. The distillery where Tavi Tequila is made is located at a staggering elevation of 7200 feet, making it the highest tequila distillery in the world. This high elevation not only adds to the uniqueness of Tavi Tequila but also contributes to the distinct flavors and smoothness of the final product.
Tavi Tequila is made in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, in the highest tequila distillery in the world. The hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves, grown in the rich red clay and cool climate of the region, are the foundation of this ultra-premium tequila. The attention to detail, from the harvesting of the agaves to the slow roasting and fermentation processes, results in a tequila that is truly a labor of love.
