The story behind Ignite
Tequila is a spirit distilled from the blue Weber agave plant, and it is made in specific regions of Mexico, most famously Jalisco. Blanco is bottled soon after distillation, so it tastes bright and peppery with clear agave. Reposado rests in oak barrels for a couple of months up to a year, which softens the edges and adds light vanilla and warm spice.
We keep Ignite in the small corner of our Commack shelves, one or two bottles at a time. It is a straightforward sipping and mixing tequila, and we are glad to talk you through it at the counter.

Clear agave and pepper hold up in a shaken margarita with fresh lime.
Oak rest softens it, so it drinks neat or over one cube.
