Olmeca Altos Tequila
Highland agave, tahona and mill, bottled with nothing added.
The story behind Olmeca Altos
Olmeca Altos launched in 2009, a collaboration between Maestro Tequilero Jesús Hernández and the late UK bartenders Henry Besant and Dré Masso. It is made at Destilería Colonial de Jalisco, NOM 1111, in Arandas, up in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. Pernod Ricard owns the brand today.
The agave is 100% blue Weber, hand picked from volcanic highland soil, and the piñas slow cook about 48 hours in brick ovens. Part of each batch is crushed on a 2 ton volcanic rock tahona wheel, the rest on a roller mill, then blended. A proprietary yeast cultivated from the agave itself handles fermentation, and the spirit is double distilled in small copper pot stills. No additives.
