In 1997 Danny Schneeweiss and Moy Guindi, two young enterprising natives of Mexico City, realized how their national drink struggled to reflect the innovation in architecture, design and art that had invested their country in recent years, although it could not more boast complete adherence to traditional production techniques in most cases.
Entering the Tequila business, Danny and Moi decided to invert the dominant logic: craft production model with a symbolic public presentation of the evolution of contemporary, urban and cosmopolitan Mexico. Aware of the need to control the production process from raw material research to final bottling, Danny and Moi acquired fields used for the cultivation of agave in the Jalisco plateau and, after a long search, they added to their team Pedro Juarez, Master Distiller with experience handed down for two generations no longer satisfied with the average quality of the national industry.
The chosen production process involves slow traditional cooking of the blue agave, with hand-built clay kilns. At the end of the pressing and fermentation, the process involves a double distillation in copper pot still and a third distillation in a stainless steel column. Aging in French oak woods is prolonged for a longer period than the average - 6 months for the Reposado category against the usual 2 and 18 months for the Añejo category against the usual 12.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
