ArteNOM Selección de 1579 Blanco Tequila

Description

Tequila: ArteNOM Selección de 1579 Blanco

Introducing the newest addition to Jake Lustig’s ArteNOM portfolio, the deliciously fruit-forward blanco expression from NOM 1579. The mountain town of Jesús-María (elev. 6,079’) is tequila’s highest altitude agave region, and the El Pandillo Distillery is arguably one of the most forward-thinking and sustainable distilleries in the business. There, Felipe Camarena masterfully crafts this bright, aromatic tequila from stressed hillside agave plants, slowly roasted in brick ovens and macerated intact with fiber for a pronounced agave flavor. It’s an instant classic.

Distillery: NOM 1579

The mountain town of Jesús María is the highest point in all of the tequila agave growing regions, and the El Pandillo Distillery– located in the middle of these agave fields– is one of the most forward-thinking and sustainable distilleries of all tequila. Master distiller, Felipe Camarena crafts this Highland style from stressed hillside agave plants which are slowly roasted in brick ovens. They are then macerated intact with fiber for a pronounced agave flavor that he then dilutes with 50% captured rainwater and 50% high mineral spring water.

Finish: Exceptionally balanced and structured with a beautiful, long finish.
