Agave Spirits
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Agave spirits encompass a family of distillates produced across Mexico from the cooked and fermented hearts of agave plants, with tequila restricted by law to Blue Weber agave grown primarily in Jalisco and mezcal drawing from dozens of agave varieties across multiple states. Tequila expressions range from the unaged clarity of Fortaleza Blanco to the oak-influenced richness of Clase Azul Reposado and the extended barrel character of Don Julio 1942, where resting time and production philosophy separate each bottling. Mezcal entries like Agave Mixtape Volume 8 reflect the category's diversity of producers and regional styles, while La Venenosa's Don Guelos 20 Year Heritage Blue Weber demonstrates how prolonged aging transforms agave distillate into something altogether more contemplative. La Gritona Reposado offers an approachable middle ground between those poles.
