Curado Tequila Blanco Infusión De Agave Espadin

The Curado Tequila Blanco Infusión De Agave Espadín is a unique expression from Curado Tequila, which is known for infusing its blanco tequila with cooked agave from different regions of Mexico. In this case, the base is a Blanco tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco (NOM 1474), infused with Espadín agave from Oaxaca.

Key Features:

• Infusion: Blanco tequila infused with cooked Espadín agave.
• Agave Source: Blue Weber agave from Jalisco (Highlands) and Espadín agave from Oaxaca.
• Production Process:
  • The Espadín agave is cooked in Oaxaca using traditional methods specific to that region.
  • The cooked Espadín agave is then transported to Jalisco.
  • The cooked Espadín agave is infused into 100% Blue Weber Blanco tequila.
  • The infusion process typically involves steeping the cooked agave in the tequila for a period of days.
  • The resulting tequila is then lightly filtered and proofed down to 40% ABV.
• No Barrel Aging: As a Blanco, it is not aged in oak barrels. The light color comes from the agave infusion.
• Additive-Free: Curado emphasizes that their tequilas have no sugars added and no tricks.
• NOM: 1474 (Cía. Tequilera Los Alambiques, same as Tequila Ocho).
• ABV: 40%.
• Bottle Design: The bottle features a jaguar, an animal native to the Oaxaca region, representing the Espadín agave's origin.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Often described as having a noticeable smoky aroma from the Espadín agave, along with sweet cooked agave notes and hints of citrus (lemon, lime), pepper, and sometimes a touch of herbs or minerality. Some detect a vegetal or slightly earthy note.
• Palate: The palate typically presents a balance of sweet agave and smoky flavors, often with a peppery or spicy kick. Some find notes of cooked vegetables, a slight bitterness, and a distinctive character from the Espadín.
• Finish: The finish is often described as having lingering smoky and peppery notes, sometimes with a touch of sweetness or citrus.

Overall Impression:

Curado Tequila Blanco Infusión De Agave Espadín is an intriguing spirit that offers a unique bridge between tequila and mezcal due to the Espadín agave infusion. The smoky notes characteristic of Espadín add a layer of complexity not typically found in traditional Blanco tequilas. It's considered an interesting option for those looking to explore beyond standard blancos and can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails where its smoky character can add a distinctive twist.

Awards:

While specific awards for the Espadín expression can vary, Curado Tequila as a brand has received recognition, including a Gold Medal at the Bartender Spirits Awards.
