Amor Mio Tequila is proudly made in the town of Amatitan, Jalisco, which is located in the heart of Mexico's tequila-producing region. This region, known as the Tequila Valley, is renowned for its ideal climate and soil conditions for growing the blue agave plant, the main ingredient in tequila production.
The town of Amatitan has a long history of tequila production and is home to several distilleries, including Tres Mujeres, where Amor Mio Tequila is crafted. Tres Mujeres is a family-owned distillery that has been producing tequila for generations, using traditional methods and techniques passed down through the years.
One of the key factors that sets Amor Mio Tequila apart is the quality of the agave used in its production. Only 100% Agave Azul, also known as Blue Weber Agave, is used to create this exceptional tequila. This variety of agave is known for its rich and complex flavors, which are essential for creating a high-quality tequila.
After the agave plants have reached maturity, they are harvested by skilled jimadores, who carefully remove the leaves to reveal the heart of the plant, known as the piña. These piñas are then roasted in traditional brick ovens, allowing the sugars to caramelize and develop unique flavors.
Once the piñas have been roasted, they are crushed and the juice, known as aguamiel, is extracted. This juice is then fermented using natural yeast, a process that takes several days and allows the sugars to convert into alcohol.
After fermentation, the liquid is distilled in copper stills to further refine and concentrate the flavors. The distillate, known as blanco tequila, is then aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 48 months to become Amor Mio Tequila Extra Anejo.
The use of French oak barrels for aging adds another layer of complexity to the tequila, imparting notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. The extended aging period allows the flavors to mellow and integrate, resulting in a smooth and luxurious tequila.
Amor Mio Tequila is made with great care and attention to detail in the town of Amatitan, Jalisco, in the Tequila Valley of Mexico. The use of high-quality Agave Azul, traditional production methods, and the aging process in French oak barrels all contribute to the exceptional taste and quality of this tequila. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, Amor Mio Tequila is a true representation of the craftsmanship and passion that goes into creating a premium Mexican spirit.
