Tequila

All of our tequilas are 100% Blue Weber Agave tequilas that are certified and traceable directly to a distillery in Mexico. We do not carry any diluted tequilas (mixtos) and have listed the various age statements of tequilas below to help navigate you through the process. Cocktails are always a great introduction to any spirit, and our flights will offer a convenient way to try several different styles across a family of tequilas or different types within the same age classification. Please do not hesitate to ask your server about any questions you may have.

BLANCO

Also known as Silver, Plata, Platinum, Crystal, and Platino. This is agave in its purest form, with virtually no influence from barrel aging. Blancos can be aged up to 60 days in oak barrels or bottled directly out of the still. Blanco tequilas traditionally have a little more bite to them, and intense agave flavor. These are best enjoyed in a cocktail or sipped slowly. Try one of our blanco flights to see the various characteristics different distillation processes have on these unaged spirits.

REPOSADO

Reposed means rested, as these tequilas are aged anywhere from 2 months to under 1 year. The golden color that aged tequilas get are from the resting that goes on in these barrels. The type of barrel that can be used varies and that is another part of the art of making tequila. Aging can happen in new barrels or in barrels that have previously been used to age another spirit like bourbon, whiskey, cognac or wine. This allows them to inherit some of the flavor from the previous spirit. The reposado will have inherited the agave flavor from its younger sibling (the blanco) while beginning to develop some oak and wood sweetness. These are great on the rocks or in a cocktail.

AÑEJO

These are aged in the same way as a reposado, but for a longer duration (12-36 months). There is also a requirement that the barrels can be no larger than 600 liters. As you might expect, añejos inherit even more color and flavor from the barrels and they tend to have a much more mellow flavor because of the aging. These tend to have colors much more like American whiskey, and the fruity agave notes give way to wood spice and sweetness. Añejos are best to be sipped neat or on the rocks.

EXTRA AÑEJO

This is a new classification as of 2006. Anything aged more than 3 years is now referred to as an extra or ultra añejo. These must be done with the same guidelines as an añejo and often take on even more of the qualities of the previously aged spirit. It also results in a very smooth and complex flavor. These are premium products intended to be sipped.

MEZCAL

Mezcal is an agave-based spirit, usually made from the Espadin agave, but can be made from up to 30 different agaves. Tequila is a type of mezcal made specifically from the Blue Weber agave. Mezcal production is done on a very small scale in comparison to whiskey, which results in hyper-small batches from specific pueblos and villages in the Oaxacan region of Mexico. Mezcals tend to be smoky due to the method of cooking the agave piñas in underground earthen ovens and spicier than tequila in the same way rye whiskey is spicier than bourbon. Mescal is one of the most unique spirits on the planet, we would suggest trying this in one of our house cocktails first to ease into the taste.

SOTOL

Sotol is the other spirit coming out of Mexico (Northern Mexico to be exact). This is not distilled from the agave plant, but rather the dasylirion (desert spoon) plant. It strongly captures its terroir, which can grow in the forest or dessert. Whatever the plant eats will be reflected in the flavor, from mint to eucalyptus. These can vary wildly in flavor and complexity. We suggest trying these on the rocks or neat to experience a different side of Mexico.
