Staff Pick Notes

Finding an above 40% abv Tequila is not an easy thing and while this is not technically speaking a Tequila, it is Tequila in all but name. This is made from Chato agave and not Blue Weber and so it can't be Tequila. Using all traditional methods, from a 5 generation tradition and it is really yummy too! Classic agave notes abound with citrus, fresh and dried herbs especially. While this makes a seriously kick ass Margarita, the deep complexity of the flavor is lost in the mixing so I would suggest sipping neat or with one solitary ice cube.
