Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata, 70 cl

Product Information

Like everyone’s favorite, and inevitable ex-girlfriend, Patrón was born in 1989. We don’t know how many celebrity hearts it’s broken, or whether it and Jake Gyllenhaal are still on good terms, but the brand, like Swift, has likely led to more than a few tales of heartbreak. Patrón production is surprisingly old-school. As the world rediscovers diversity in the spirits world, the second-use barrel market is reaping the benefits. Whiskey and wine barrels have always been the popular choice for tequila makers, but bourbon seems to have lent its own unique mark to Olmeca Altos Tequila’s Reposado expression. My life’s work as an advocate for the art of authentic tequila making and the protection of its rich history and culture is embedded into Casa Obsidiana’s tequilas,” says Francisco Quijana, Master Tequilero at Casa Obsidiana. Cristalino tequilas continue to see significant growth as tequila enthusiasts seek premium offerings with unique finishing and ageing features,” said Alex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller for Reserva de la Familia.

I was excited to see the development of the tequila’s tasting notes after being aged in wine barrels and found that the end result both honours the traditions of tequila making while shining a light on what modern-day Mexico has to offer. It’s also exciting to bring this to life beside partners both old and new.”However, while Patron prides itself on offering an authentic taste without additives, El Alto falls short in delivering a premium experience. Made by hand, in a painstaking process that’s been used since the brand’s inception, the majority of Patrón El Alto Tequila is created using the traditional Tahona production process. A method that requires meticulous precision and time, a two-ton volcanic stone is used for crushing the baked agave which creates a tequila with the natural sweetness and flavours of the earth. Patrón is the leading producer of Tahona-based tequila in the world, demonstrating its commitment to a time-honoured process, further exemplified by Patrón El Alto. US singer-songwriter and menswear designer John Varvatos have partnered with Stoli Group to launch Villa One, which will compete in the super-premium Tequila sphere alongside the likes of Patrón and Casamigos. El Alto appears to be Patron’s attempt to compete with the likes of Don Julio 1942 and Clase Azul Reposado. PATRÓN is made from only the finest, highest-quality Weber Blue Agave, which gives it its characteristic smoothness and layers of flavor. The agave is stripped to reveal the heart of the plant, the ‘piña’, which is then hand-chopped, baked and crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and a roller mill. The resulting mixture is fermented for three days, distilled and, in some cases, aged in handmade barrels. Two months at minimum for PATRÓN Reposado, over 12 months for PATRÓN Añejo, and at least three years for PATRÓN Extra Añejo. It’s no secret that we have a steadfast commitment to crafting the world’s finest tequila, but we’re just as dedicated to taking care of the resources and people that make it possible. At PATRÓN, we’ve always been committed to doing our part to preserve the environment and support our people and the community in our birthplace and hometown of Atotonilco el Alto in Jalisco, Mexico.

Lowland tequilas are grown and produced deep in the Tequila Valley outside of the cities of Tequila and Guadalajara, while highland (Los Altos) tequilas come from higher-altitude regions surrounding the valleys. The tasting differences are relatively subtle, but experts note that highland tequilas are more floral, while lowland tequilas are more vegetal and herbal. Ancho Reyes Barrica marks the first new offering from the Ancho Reyes portfolio since the successful release of Ancho Reyes Verde in 2017. Few of my favorite things. My tequila and fishing on my farm. I’ve been raising my fish for years now and I got some aggressive fatties roaming these waters – largemouth bass, stripped bass, various sunnies, carp and after my 5th glass of tequila, I start seeing the pink dolphins. 6’6 medium/heavy action, 10lb test, 1/2oz spinner w/ a white skirt ~ if you know, you know. Cheers my friends 🥃🎣 #mykindofheaven 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. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been making too many margaritas this summer. And while browsing the internet, I came across Steve the Bartender’s Youtube video with five different margarita recipes. They all looked pretty good but I was most interested in the cucumber and jalapeño recipe. That combo is new to me and I was curious how the simple flavor of Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila would work with the spice of the jalapeño.A wedge or squeeze of lime is a must when it comes to tequila, and this liquor has a plethora of mixers, including club soda, seltzer, grapefruit juice, coconut water, and other sodas, including ginger, coke, and lemon-lime.
