Description
The Sierra distillery is located in a historical hacienda in Guadalajara, the Tequila Capital of Mexico. With years of experience Sierra’s jimadores care for their agave plants by hand, with the plants taking 8 to 10 years to fully mature for harvest.
Using a coa, the jimadoers cut the agave by hand to reveal the heart or piña. The piña is gently cooked and then undergoes a step-by-step extraction process with special yeast added to ferment and then twice distilled in copper vessels before maturing.
Tasting Notes:
Mineral notes on the nose with a light hints of fruity agave. Heavy on the tongue with an almost metallic minerality with sweeter agave only coming in on the very end.
