Distilled from estate-grown Blue Weber agave from 300 ha lowland site, practicing organic farming. Agave is roasted 48 hours before fermentation in El Llano’s original cement vat with house yeast for six to seven days to about 4-5% abv. Twice distilled in stainless steel pot stills with interior copper condenser by Eduardo Orendain before being aged in ex-Bourbon barrels for 11 months. Featuring fruity-sweet flavor notes, the tighter cut of the distillate ensures less acetone flavors and puts an emphasis on a mid-palate wash of mint, pepper, vanilla, and ripe apple and plum.
