Volcan de mi Tierra Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A 100% Blue Weber agave reposado from Jalisco, Mexico, rested 135 days in new American and French oak barrels. Volcán de Mi Tierra launched in 2017 as a collaboration between the Gallardo family and Moët Hennessy. The agave comes from the mineral-rich volcanic Lowlands and the iron-rich clay soils of the Highlands, and is cooked, fermented and distilled at Agrotequilera de Jalisco in Huaxtla before resting and final blending. The nose has cooked agave, warm caramel, light vanilla, dried herbs, apple, pineapple and a peppery tang. The palate is sweet and rounded, with honeyed cooked agave, caramel, baking spice, toasted oak, brûléed citrus, floral tones, jalapeño-like heat, peach and pineapple. The finish is medium in length, with a full honeyed mouthfeel, gentle warmth, vanilla, black pepper and a clean mineral undertone.
