The agave undergoes a distinctive 72-hour slow-cooking process — 24 hours of continuous cooking, followed by 24 hours of resting, and a final 24 hours of cooling with oven doors open — designed to maximize sugar extraction and develop deep caramelized flavors. The cooked agave is then double distilled in stainless steel pot stills fitted with copper coils before resting for a minimum of 12 months in new American oak barrels.

The distillery uses a traditional tahona — a massive volcanic stone wheel — to crush estate-grown blue Weber piñas, a gentler method that preserves the plant's fibers and extracts a more nuanced syrup. Those piñas undergo a 72-hour slow-cooking process broken into three stages: 24 hours of continuous cooking, 24 hours of resting, and a final 24 hours of cooling with oven doors open. After double distillation in stainless steel pot stills fitted with copper coils, the spirit rests for a minimum of six months in new American oak barrels with a medium char.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Butterscotch and sweet nougat arrive first, followed by pickling spice and gentle plum.
