• Crushing: Roller milling is used to extract the sweet agave juice, ensuring a consistent and pure extraction.
• Fermentation: Open-air fermentation with natural yeast, using deep well water and natural spring sources, enhances the tequila’s rich and authentic profile.
• Distillation: Double distilled in copper pot stills, which helps to refine and concentrate the tequilas complex flavors.
• Aging: The Aejo component is aged in American oak barrels for 22-24 months, imparting notes of wood, vanilla, and spices.
