In Jalisco, you’re never far from an agave field or the delicious, distilled fruits of the harvest.?
In an industry rife with artifice, Felipe Camarena is working against the tide to preserve true tequila.

On the nose, the agave is hidden behind an explosion of citrus and floral notes. Pepper, herbs, and citrus keeps popping up. On the palate, delicious sweet citrus and agave. That floral note is very present. So much citrus, a little bit of minerality, but agave and citrus are the stars of the show. Excellent tequila. Very good offering from 1579. I bought a 375ml but I’ll commit to a full size soon, very very good stuff.
