Destilado de Agave
A futuristic addition to the category, our experimental expression, Destilado de Agave, will feature the finishing of our reposado tequila in rare woods sourced both locally in Jalisco and from regions across the globe.
About Our Destilado de Agave - Aged in Amburana Barrels
From the last of the independent founding families of tequila, Paladar is a homage to the traditions of Mexico. We harvest 7-Year Blue Weber agave from our own fields, which slow cooks in brick ovens and open-air pine-box ferments in wild and proprietary yeast. Each batch of Paladar is twice distilled in a copper and stainless steel pot blend. Our Paladar Experimental Range delivers a futurist take on the ancient category. This batch is aged for 2 months in ex-bourbon barrels then finished for 2 months in a large amburana wood cask, a traditional South American wood. We celebrate this product of the earth with each bottle hand-dipped in the volcanic soil of our agave fields.
