1921 Tequila
Highlands agave from Arandas, poured in Commack since the nineties.
The story behind 1921
1921 Tequila comes from Arandas, in the Los Altos Highlands of Jalisco, where the Blue Weber agave grows slower and sweeter. The brand was founded in 1996 by a group of tequila aficionados, with Juan Francisco Collado as its long term leading partner. Today it is made at Casa Tequilera de Arandas under NOM 1499.
The method is old fashioned and unhurried: agave cooks 72 hours in masonry stone ovens, gets roller mill extraction, ferments in stainless steel, then distills twice. No additives in the core spirits. Aged expressions rest in American white oak. We have poured these for years because the agave still tastes like agave.
