Corralejo Reposado Tequila for Adults, 750 mL, 80 Proof
Category: sauza tequila
Tequila Corralejo is a proud representation of Central Mexico’s vibrant culture, heritage, and lifestyle. This distinctive tequila is one of the rare varieties produced in the Guanajuato region, making its production methods and deep-seated traditions stand out within the industry. Crafted solely from the finest Blue Weber agave, Tequila Corralejo showcases a rich and natural flavor, unparalleled in quality and character.
At Corralejo, we ensure that all our tequilas are made with 100% Blue Weber agave, meticulously handpicked from the best agave fields. Our process starts with the slow cooking of the agave in traditional clay ovens for 27 hours, an old-fashioned method that enhances the flavor. Once the cooking is complete, the agave rests for 12 hours before being transported to the mill for juice extraction. Following this milling stage, the sweet juice undergoes fermentation.
What truly sets Tequila Corralejo apart is its unique distillation process, which incorporates both column stills and Alembic copper pot stills sourced from Tomelloso, Spain. We employ the Charentais method, a 400-year-old technique originally perfected by the French for cognac distillation. This method is crucial as it allows for the exceptional retention of both aroma and flavor in our tequila.
In terms of appearance, Tequila Corralejo is a stunning golden yellow, enhanced by brilliant flashes of light. The aroma is a delightful blend of cooked agave complemented by refreshing grapefruit and zesty lime, accompanied by sweet notes of vanilla and honey, with subtle hints of oak.
On the palate, you will experience an exquisite combination of lemon-lime, peppercorn, honey, oak, and agave notes, leading to a warm, medium-bodied finish that rounds out the tasting experience.
For those looking for a serving suggestion, we recommend the Corralejo Margarita, a refreshing cocktail that perfectly complements the tequila's rich profile. The ingredients for this delightful drink include:
- 2 parts Tequila Corralejo Reposado
- 1 part fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 part agave nectar
Through our commitment to quality and tradition, Tequila Corralejo has earned recognition in the form of a Double Gold Medal at the 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 38% (76 proof), this tequila is a testament to Mexican craftsmanship and a celebration of the region's unique flavors.
In summary, Tequila Corralejo not only captures the essence of Central Mexico, but also represents a remarkable journey through its meticulous production methods, distinctive flavor profile, and rich cultural significance. Whether enjoyed neat, in a cocktail, or shared with friends, Tequila Corralejo delivers an exceptional tasting experience rooted in tradition and excellence.
