Volcan de mi Tierra is produced by Agrotequilera de Jalisco (NOM 1523) in Huaxtla, Jalisco, a joint venture between the Gallardo family and Moet Hennessy, and is confirmed additive free. The Blanco expression is unaged and made from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from both the Tequila Valley lowlands and the Los Altos highlands, a deliberate blend the brand uses to combine the herbal, citrus, and spice character typical of lowland agave with the fruitier notes, including cherry and pear, that highland agave brings. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
CHARACTER
Agave: the core cooked and fresh agave character
Cherry: ripe fruit from the highland agave
Pear: a sweet, ripe note balancing the highland agave
Grapefruit: a bright citrus lift
Mint: a cool, fresh lift through the nose
Black Pepper: a peppery spice through the palate
Chilli: a jalapeno-like heat on the palate
