Tapatio Blanco Tequila, 50 cl

Product Information

Brand new to the US market, Tapatio has a large following amongst tequila lovers. I'd never had any of the juice sold in Mexico, so I was very much looking forward to trying this one. Mientras que otros productores destilan tequila a una prueba más alta y luego diluyen el tequila con agua para aumentar los rendimientos, Tapatio Tequila se destila a 80 grados para crear un tequila más sabroso y robusto.

Patron may be a big producer of Tequila, but its production process and the small sizes of its numerous stills mean that it is still able to make its product in relatively small batches. This is a smooth, soft liquid with base notes of toffee and fudge overlaid with a greener vegetal note, lemon peel, some pepper and numbing anise. Alc 40% My journey has seen me as an owner of sophisticated bars and renowned liquor shops, and even as a Mezcal distiller, honing the craft from scratch. Tapatío Blanco es un perfecto tequila para quienes gustamos de los sabores fuertes y las altas concentraciones de alcohol. Después de cocinar las piñas, Camarena las aplasta en un hoyo usando una gran rueda de piedra conocida como tahona. Like wine and other unique spirits, tequila is produced according to regulations that govern its appellation of origin. Tequila may only be made in the state of Jalisco, which includes the town of Tequila, and parts of the surrounding states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit and Tamaulipas. It must be made from blue agave and in accordance with additional rules for ingredients and aging. Spirits made using other agave species or elsewhere in Mexico are classified as mezcal.I’m J Highland, and for over 30 years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the captivating world of Tequila, Mezcal, and other agave spirits. As a MASSIVE tequila fan, I thought I would give this one a go - I had heard that it was great value but, as far as tasting notes went, all I could seem to find on the internet were Speciality Brands' own notes (runner bean nose, peppery palate, white chocolate, blah blah blah), followed by the suggestion (again penned by Speciality Brands) that if I didn't like this tequila, I may as well give up drinking tequila, since Tapatio Blanco is the ESSENCE of what a blanco should be... A mi me gusta beberlo derecho pero lo recomiendo mucho en cócteles. Si quieres tomar la mejor margarita de tu vida el Tapatío 110 es el tequila ideal.

Tequila may have a wild and crazy reputation, but this unique spirit is created according to strict guidelines, guaranteeing authenticity and consistency. It’s distilled from the fermented juice of the Weber blue agave plant, and comes only from a specified region of Mexico, centered around the western state of Jalisco. Tequila may be bottled without maturation or aged in oak barrels. The length of aging determines how it is labeled: Colorless blanco or silver tequila is aged fewer than two months in oak; reposado between two and 12 months; añejo for more than one year. Extra añejo is a category added in 2006 that includes tequila aged at least three years in oak vats under 600 liters. Generally, the longer tequila ages in oak, the smoother and more full-bodied it becomes. Body: A medium body, great flavors throughout of agave, pepper and fruit. A really great mix of everything. My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation.Finish: A medium length finish. There's a great agave peppery finish that goes really well with the agave and citrus sweetness flavors. Wonderful finish. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just dipping your toes into this world, I invite you to join me as we explore the fascinating realm of these legendary spirits. Una de las razones por las que en general tomo más mezcal que tequila es esa, me gustan las altas concentraciones ya que prefiero tomar poco fuerte que mucho y ligero.

Después de triturar las piñas, la pulpa restante se mezcla a pie, antes de fermentar en un barril de madera durante aproximadamente cuatro días. The El Tesoro line of tequilas is a personal favorite of mine. They grow their agave in the highlands region of Jalisco in a high altitude with mineral-rich soil. Their blanco is particularly peppery with really pleasant fresh grassy notes. It’s great on its own or makes a surprisingly complex Margarita.” —Bryan Schneider, bar director, Quality Branded, NYC The reason Ocho exists is because Tomas Estes, co owner of Ocho (with Carlos) & Tequila Ambassador for Europe is because of his love for Tapatio, after visiting the distillery so many times. Tapatío Blanco: A handmade tequila that is respectful of tradition and process. Tapatío Blanco is transparent about process and ultimately a tequila that allows natural flavors of agave shine.” —Harrison Ginsberg, bar director, Overstory, NYC

Tapatio wasn’t available in the United States until 2012.

The blue agave plant can reach eight feet in height and matures at around six years old. Sugars collect in the core of the plant, the piña. Producers chop up the piñas and cook them in large ovens, then press the juices from the cooked pieces and ferment them with yeast.
