70cl bottle - 55% ABV - Mexico - Sangre de Vida Reposado is an excellent tequila with a full, warm body. It offers a perfect balance between its delicious, smooth flavors and the strong taste of its 55% ABV. The nose is fruity, with notes of agave and caramel. The palate is dominated by pleasant, sweet agave and citrus notes, with a hint of pepper and oak. Its complex finish is long-lasting and leaves a pleasant warm sensation. An extraordinary tequila for those special moments. Sangre de Vida is distilled from homegrown agaves—weber—that have been grown for between 10 and 14 years. The soil in which the agave grows is of considerable importance. For this reason, Sangre de Vida uses only agaves from its own fields in the area around Tequila, in the state of Jalisco. The finest blue agaves thrive in the unique soil of this region, located within the protected tequila origin area. After being hand-harvested, the agave hearts (piñas) are slowly cooked in a brick oven for approximately 36 hours. This traditional slow-cooking technique prevents the agave from caramelizing and helps maintain its naturally sweet flavor. To extract the sweet juice (mosto), the cooked piñas are crushed and mashed. The resulting must is then left to ferment naturally for five days. Sangre de Vida is carefully triple-distilled, ensuring the purity and finest properties of the tequila. Only French Limousin white oak barrels are used for storage, a rather unusual type of wood for tequila. This unusual oak storage gives Sangre de Vida its unique and complex properties. The aging process is constantly monitored by the Master Distiller. The Sangre de Vida Reposado is bottled after 90 days, the Añejo after a year.
