The expression is made from 100% certified organic blue Weber agave and distinguishes itself through a five-times distillation process — a rarity in the tequila category, where most blancos undergo two or three passes through the still. After distillation, the spirit goes through a proprietary triple cold-filtration method designed to strip out impurities while preserving the agave character, resulting in a notably clean and bright profile.\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 The nose opens with citrus zest and cocoa before giving way to fresh herbs and warm cooked agave.
