Chamucos Tequila Anejo

Tequila Chamucos is a carefully handcrafted, ultra-premium tequila made for connoisseurs. Made with 100% de Agave, it’s the truest expression of tequila. Its amazing purity, aroma and flavor is the result of careful small batch production. Tequila Chamucos harvests 100% organic premium blue agave grown in Los Altos, Jalisco. The agave is slow-cooked in specially designed masonry ovens under low temperature and low pressure, cooking for approximately 30 hours. The agave is then cooled for another 24 hours. The juice or “agua miel”, is naturally fermented with proprietary yeast before being double distilled in specially designed stainless-steel Alembic stills. The Anejo ages for 18-22 months in 50% American White Oak barrels and 50% French Oak barrels. Five percent of the American White Oak barrels are Char #2. Tequila Chamucos proudly respects the land. This respect has resulted in eco-friendly initiatives like using recyclable materials for all bottles and packaging, as well as organic farming methods that include the ban of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. “Si amanece nos vams!” | If dawn comes, we will leave! …Legend has it that Chamucos – dark , shadowy creatures who appear in dreams and only visit briefly at night— play bothersome, frightening and mischievous acts on those whom they visit, like sitting on the edge of the bed and vanishing into the darkness when spotted. The Chamucos regularly visit distilleries to take their “Angel’s Share”, accounting for the mysterious loss of tequila during barrel aging. Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points (2019)
