This agave-forward tequila is single-estate grown in the volcanic soil of the highlands region in Jalisco, Mexico.
Los Altos Blue Weber agave is known for its higher sugar content, which provides this tequila with its characteristically great balance of crisp and floral aromas. The agaves used in Corrido Blanco are slow-cooked in tightly closed stainless steel ovens and are double distilled. Our master distiller is an expert at knowing when to cut the “heads” and “tails” from distillation, taking only the best “heart” during the process for our tequilas.
Taste the beauty of cooked agave in Tequila Corrido Reposado. Aged to taste, not time, this reposado is rested in barrels, constructed from a collection of wood sourced from around the world.
After resting, we transfer or “rack” the tequila into barrels to balance the different flavor profiles created during aging. Instead of blending in other aged tequilas, as is common in the industry, this painstaking process is just one of the extra steps we take to make this the best reposado in the industry. Our methods are unique to Tequila Corrido, and we invite you to taste the difference.
Handcrafted in every way, Tequila Corrido Añejo takes an unparalleled journey before it arrives in your glass. This is a true aficionado’s sipping tequila.
After our reposado spends about a year in barrels, made from a collection of oak wood from around the world, it is transferred to wine barrels to begin the añejo aging process. These barrels impart a sweet earthiness not found in whiskey or bourbon barrels. Then, we transfer the slightly aged añejo back to the original barrels for its final sojourn before bottling. We age the añejo to taste, not time. Too much time in these final barrels, and the tequila would too closely resemble a bourbon. Too little, and we would not achieve the desired level of liquid luxury. This process requires diligent attention by our Master Distiller, Ana María Romero Mena, who is dedicated to making Corrido’s añejo distinctly rich and silky, yet agave-forward.
