The Art of Crafting Tuxedo Tequila
Tuxedo Tequila is more than just a spirit; it is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, precision, and passion. Every bottle reflects a commitment to excellence, blending time-honored traditions with innovative techniques. From the sun-drenched agave fields of Jalisco to the refined glass in your hand, our tequila embodies the perfect harmony between heritage and modern sophistication.
The Heart of Our Tequila
At the core of Tuxedo Tequila lies the finest Blue Weber Agave, sourced from the rich volcanic soils of Jalisco, Mexico. These agaves are carefully cultivated for 7 to 9 years, allowing them to reach peak maturity. This extended growth period enhances their natural sweetness and complexity, ensuring a depth of flavor that forms the foundation of our tequila.
A Time-Honored Tradition
Harvesting agave is an art passed down through generations. Our expert jimadores meticulously hand-select the ripest agave piñas, using traditional methods to ensure only the highest quality plants are chosen. These piñas are then slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens, a process that gently caramelizes the natural sugars and unlocks the deep, rich flavors that define Tuxedo Tequila.
Fermentation & Distillation
Once roasted, the agave is carefully crushed to extract its precious nectar. This natural juice undergoes a meticulous fermentation process, using pure spring water and a proprietary yeast strain to develop the tequila’s signature character. We then employ double distillation in copper pot stills, refining the liquid to achieve a smooth, sophisticated taste with a perfectly balanced finish.
The Aging
Elevating Excellence
Aging is where Tuxedo Tequila reaches its full expression. We carefully age our tequila in hand-selected American and French oak barrels, each imparting unique flavors that enhance the spirit’s depth and complexity.
