Most renowned alcoholic beverage of Mexico, Tequila is the expression of both pre-

Columbian and Spanish cultures. With the arrival of Spanish colons along with alambic

technology, Mexican people began to distillate Agave, which was traditionally used for

the elaboration of Pulque, a fermented indigenous beverage.

The alcohol named Tequila is obtained exclusively from the “Agave Tequilana Weber

variedad Azul” or Blue Weber Agave.

Production and commercialization are protected by a Mexican Official Law (NOM). Every

lot is checked and certified by the Regulation Council of Tequilas (CRT). The Tequila

standards are guaranteed by a “protected designation of origin”, since 1974.

PROCESS OF TEQUILA MAKING

FARMING COOKING CRUSHING FERMENTING

DISTILLING MATURING BOTTLING

Page 8: the elaboration of Pulque, a fermented indigenous beverage. E… · • Presentation: 100% Blue Agave, double distilled and state bottled. Bottles: 750 ml (US/Canada), 700 ml & 50ml

• Agave plants require an average of 7 to 9 years to

reach a perfect maturity and concentration of sugar.

• The harvest consists in cutting the leafs and taking

of the “piña”.

• Agave plants can be harvested all year long.

The “jima” or Harvest

Tequila REVOLUCION: For the production of our Tequila, and in order to get the

best concentration of flavours, we use blue agave plants exclusively from Tequila

region that overcome a drastic selection process where a minimum age of 7 to 9

years old is required.

Page 9: the elaboration of Pulque, a fermented indigenous beverage. E… · • Presentation: 100% Blue Agave, double distilled and state bottled. Bottles: 750 ml (US/Canada), 700 ml & 50ml

• During the cooking process, starch is

converted to sugar.

• Vapor cooking drains the honey from

the Agave, making it ready for fermentation.

• .

THE COOKING

• Agave piñas are vapor cooked in

mampostrería stone ovens.

• The aim of cooking is to transform sugar

contents without caramelization.

Tequila REVOLUCION: Our piñas are exclusively cooked in stone traditional ovens.

This process is longer and more expensive, but enables a better extraction of aromas.

Page 10: the elaboration of Pulque, a fermented indigenous beverage. E… · • Presentation: 100% Blue Agave, double distilled and state bottled. Bottles: 750 ml (US/Canada), 700 ml & 50ml

• Once cooked, the agave heart (piña)

is crushed to obtain the juice and

separated from the fiber (bagasa).

• Crushing may be performed with

mills o tahonas (old method). The

piñas may can be crushed twice or

as many as 8 times.

• The more you crush the piñas, the

more juice is extracted. However, in

each additional crushing, the juice

loses its concentration and flavor

qualities.

CRUSHING

Tequila REVOLUCION: We only crush our piñas twice. This

insures that only the sweetest and most aromatic part of the

agave is used for fermentation, getting rid of the less noble

parts of it.

Throughout the fermentation process,

sugars are turned into alcohol (6%)

Fermentation may be done in open tanksmade of:

• Wood

• Cement

• Stainless steel

Fermentation may be induced with:

• Chemical yeasts

• Natural yeasts

• Time for fermentation: about 3 days

FERMENTATION

Tequila REVOLUCION: Our special recipe with

natural yeasts for fermentation

allows our Tequila to obtain it´s distinctive flavour

and a 100% natural Tequila.

• The process can take place in:

Columns (continuous process)

Pot Stills (slow process)

Stainless steel

Copper (good conductor, removes sulfur,brings

ionic stabilization)

Double Distillation:

• The first distillation results in a solution up to 21º

alc vol

• - The second distillation increases the alcohol

concentration between 44% to 60% alc vol

DISTILLATION

Tequila REVOLUCION: “puro de corazón”, our distillation

overcomes a drastic selection of head and tails on each one of

the double distillation processes in stainless steel pots

AGING

The Mexican Official Law defines the following

criteria for each quality of Tequila:

Tequila REVOLUCION: Our Reposado is matured on average 10 month in white

oak barrels. The barrels are previously aged with Tequila, in order to maintain

the original flavors of agave in a perfect combination with the sweetness of

barrel aging.

Applying the same philosophy and process, our Añejo is matured 18 months in

white oak barrels, reaching matured and more intense flavours.
