Discover the Taste of Mexico with Tequila Sierra!
Tequila Sierra is more than just a drink; it’s an invitation to the vibrant and passionate world of Mexico. Crafted from the finest Tequilana Weber blue agave, grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Sierra Tequila embodies the rich heritage and authentic flavor of the country where it was born. With its refined taste and unique bottle design featuring the traditional sombrero, Sierra is instantly recognizable and beloved worldwide.
The Production Process
The secret to Sierra Tequila’s unparalleled taste lies in its meticulous production process:
- Agave Harvesting: Only mature blue agave, at least 7 years old, is hand-harvested (jimado).
- Baking: The agave hearts (piñas) are slowly baked in autoclaves, converting starches into sugars.
- Fermentation: The agave juice is fermented using specially selected yeasts, which give Sierra its characteristic fruity aroma.
- Distillation: The spirit undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills, ensuring purity and smoothness.
Types of Tequila Sierra
Sierra offers several types of tequila, each with its unique character:
- Sierra Tequila Blanco: A clear, transparent tequila that is bottled immediately after distillation. It boasts a fresh, fruity aroma with notes of agave and citrus. Perfect for shots and as a base for cocktails.
- Sierra Tequila Reposado: This tequila is aged in oak barrels for several months (from 2 to 11). This imparts a soft golden hue and a rounded flavor with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices. Excellent for sipping slowly or for complex cocktails.
- Sierra Tequila Antiguo: A premium line that includes Reposado and Añejo (aged over a year) versions. These are tequilas for true connoisseurs, offering deep, complex flavors.
