Producer: Azunia
Formats available: 750 ml, 1L
Region: Jalisco
Country: Mexico
Variety: 100% Weber Blue Agave
Fermentation Method: The first step is cooking the piñas. For our Reposado, our piñas cook in
modern stainless steel autoclaves for up to 18 hours. The cooked piñas are then crushed in
the pressing mills in order to extract the agave juice. Since the agave fibers may reabsorb
much of the juice, the fibers are rinsed in order to obtain the optimal amount of juice from
each press. The result of the wash is called aguamiel or honey water.
Other tequilas use commercial yeasts to speed up fermentation. We use natural fermentation, which produces yeast naturally during the process. Our tequilas ferment for 5 to 7 days, depending upon outside temperature and humidity—part of the natural fermentation process. Although it takes longer to ferment, only naturally produced yeast is in our tequila. This traditional method helps create the distinct flavor of Azuñia Tequila.
After the natural fermentation process, Azuñia Tequila is double distilled for purity. During the second distillation process, we separate the heads and tails of the juice, leaving only pure,
clear tequila. Unlike others, Azuñia Tequila is then filtered one more time through our unique process in order to achieve its smooth, luxurious flavor.
Duration And Aging Method: After the fermentation, double distillation and final filtration, our Reposado rests for a minimum of 3 months in American Oak barrels.
Alcohol Content: 40%
Notes: Satisfyingly aged for a minimum of 3 months in American Oak barrels for a touch of smokiness, our ultra-premium Reposado is perfect for sharing with friends on a sunny day or sultry night. Mix it in an Azuñia margarita or savor it straight up.
