Tapatio Tequila is a renowned and traditional tequila brand produced in Mexico. It is named after "El Tapatio," which refers to a person from the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, where the tequila is made.
Tapatio Tequila is known for its commitment to traditional production methods and maintaining the authenticity of tequila production. The brand emphasizes using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques to create tequilas that embody the spirit and flavors of Jalisco.
Tapatio Tequila is made from 100% blue agave, harvested at its optimal maturity. The agave hearts, or piñas, are slow-cooked in brick ovens to extract the juices. The juice is then fermented using natural yeast and double-distilled in copper pot stills. This traditional production process allows the flavors of the agave to shine through in the final product.
The brand offers a range of tequila expressions, including Blanco (unaged), Reposado (aged for a minimum of four months), and Añejo (aged for a minimum of one year). These expressions are aged in oak barrels, which contribute to the development of complex flavors and smoothness.
Tapatio Tequila has gained a loyal following among tequila enthusiasts and connoisseurs who appreciate its traditional approach and the exceptional quality of its tequilas. It has received numerous awards and recognition for its craftsmanship and adherence to traditional tequila-making techniques.
Whether enjoyed neat, sipped slowly, or used in cocktails, Tapatio Tequila offers a taste of the rich tequila heritage of Jalisco, Mexico.
