Aged in oak barrels for at least two months and up to a year. The short aging-time is unique for Tequila. At an early age it already has a full, complex taste. The longer the Tequila is aged, the more flavours it is given by the barrel. This type of Tequila has a softer taste, often flowery, and a light amber colour. Tequila Resposado keeps the distinct aromas of agave, but is milder than Tequila Blanco.

The PRODUCTION:

Tequila Ambassador Tomas Estes, in collaboration with Vantguard and the Camerana family, presents the new Curado range – a series of three infused agave spirits, set to transcend the category of tequila. Curado has sought out the best agave varieties in Mexico to create an innovative product range that respects the country’s traditions and culture. The agaves have been sourced and harvested locally and cooked to the retrospective technique of each particular region. They are then transported to the Curado distillery to be infused in the finest 100% Blue Tequila from the highlands of the Jalisco province.

The proportion of agave to tequila varies in each expression depending on the type of agave incorporated to best enhance the subtle nuances of each, bringing their unique tastes and versatility to each bespoke spirit. The tequilas are infused in stainless steel tanks for a minimum of five days, monitored every 3-6 hours.

THE ART:

Curado embodies the union of three families: Estes, Camarena and Vantguard. The inspiration to create the brand originally came from two factors. The first influence came from traditional Mexican Curados, which is the name given to Pulques infused with natural flavors (Pineapple, Coconut, Coffee beans, etc.). The second part of our inspiration stemmed from observing the maceration of various spirits undertaken by bartenders across the world, using various spices, herbs and fruits. 

The result was Curado, the first Tequila to be infused with cooked Agave.

The idea that other Agave varieties could be represented in this evolved spirit, providing variety and complexity of flavor whilst always respecting the denomination of tequila, is what set us apart.

Don Fulano tequilas are made from agaves grown by fifth generation agave growers in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico. They are then distilled in the valley town of Tequila and aged masterfully. This tequila displays notes of caramelised peach, dark chocolate and nutmeg.

El Jimador Blanco is a young, fresh and natural tequila. Made from 100% blue agave, this sparklingly clear tequila is double-distilled to remove impurities and immediately bottled to preserve its crisp, authentic character. Its lively flavour and citrusy after tones make it an exceptional choice for classic Mexican drinks and other festive cocktails
