Tapatio Tequila 110 Proof

Tapatio Tequila 110 Proof showcases the full power and character of Jalisco’s highland agave. Crafted at La Alteña Distillery, rooted in tradition since 1937, this bold expression is bottled at a robust 55% ABV (110 proof).

The agave piñas are slow-cooked in stone ovens for 36 hours, enhancing natural sweetness. Juice is extracted using both the traditional Tahona wheel and roller mill, with fermentation in open wooden vats using a proprietary yeast culture. Double distillation in copper pot stills delivers a refined spirit. Unlike typical blancos, this one rests for 6 months in stainless steel tanks, smoothing out the intensity while retaining vibrant agave notes.

This tequila bursts with powerful aromas of roasted agave, black pepper, fresh herbs, and zesty citrus oils. The palate is rich and full-bodied, layered with cooked agave, white pepper, lime peel, and subtle earthy nuances. The finish is long, assertive, and warming, with a spicy pepper trail.
