Blue Nectar Tequila
Lowlands agave, triple-distilled, blended with older reserves.
The story behind Blue Nectar
Blue Nectar was founded in October 2011 by B.N. Bahadur and his son Nikhil, and the tequila is made at Tequila Selecto de Amatitán in the Los Valles lowlands of Jalisco under NOM 1459. The agave is estate grown in volcanic soil at roughly 4,100 feet, cooked in a high-pressure autoclave and milled mechanically, then fermented in stainless steel with the fibers still in the tank. Master blender Guillermo Garcia-Lay built the house style around agave first.
The Silver is triple-distilled in stainless pot stills with copper coils, which is unusual for blanco. The aged expressions are double-distilled and then blended, marrying young barrel character with older extra añejo fractions. That is why Blue Nectar reposado tastes like cooked agave and oak at once instead of one burying the other.

Blue Nectar cocktails and pairings
Silver wants acid and salt; the aged pours want smoke and fat. Keep it simple.
