ARTENOM SELECCION 1579 BLANCO 40.7% 750ML NOM 1579 | ADDITIVE FREE

ProvenanceAt 6,788 feet above sea level in the remote mountain town of Jesús María, Felipe Camarena masterfully crafts this bright, aromatic Blanco Clásico tequila from stressed hillside agave plants grown in tequila’s highest-altitude agave region. Felipe’s Destilería El Pandillo is arguably one of the most forward-thinking, innovative and sustainable distilleries in the business. After select harvesting, the agave plants are slowly roasted in brick ovens and macerated intact with their fibers for a richer, fuller flavor. Following fermentation with rainwater, Felipe slowly distills this selección in small copper pot stills and aerates the spirit prior to bottling.Tasting NotesColor: pure and clear with rich agave viscosityNose: rising pastry dough, spring rain, mint, bold roasted agavePalate: velvety, wine-like texture with fresh chile tingle, white pepper, spearmint candiesDataMaster Distiller: Felipe CamarenaNOM: 1579Altitude: 6,788′ / 2,069 mProof: 81.4ABV: 40.7%Brix: 28° – 29° from Tequilana Weber Agave grown at 6,200’ in municipio of Jesús-María, JaliscoProcessHalved & quartered (cogollo-removed) agave steam-roasted without pressure in brick kiln ovens30hr roast including 6hr pre-roast to melt-off bitters and 6hr cool-downJuice extraction with gear-spindle roller-crusher (aka “Frankenstein”)Double-distilled in copper-pot stills to approx. 56% ABV and reduced with reverse-osmosis demineralized waterWater for proof adjustment is half rain water and half filtered water from on-property wellAeration prior to filling, bottled at 40.7% ABV
