Description

• The mezcal drinker’s tequila, this line from Don Felipe Camarena is rich and complex, embracing traditional methods of production. The Blue Weber agave is crushed by tahona (though pulled by tractor rather than burro) and fermentation takes place in large wooden vats using only wild yeast. Another detail that adds to the complexity: they use the bagasse (the pulp from the piñas), while most other distilleries use only the juice. An added bonus, they’re a bat friendly tequila brand! This means they let a percentage of their agaves go to seed, allowing the dwindling bat population to feed and pollinate.
