  Mayaciel Blanco Tequila 50 cl 45%

  Item no.: 059763-615-22

  The agave at Hacienda de Oro is left standing for up to eight years, well away from artificial fertiliser and pesticides, before it becomes Mayaciel Blanco. This is tequila the way it looked before anyone decided to complicate it.

  Expert Description

  Mayaciel Blanco is a 100% agave Mexican Blanco Tequila bottled at 45%.

  Blanco means the tequila is bottled straight after distillation with no ageing, so the pure character of the agave stays front and centre. Mayaciel grows its own agave on fields in the Valle de Tequila, where the plants mature for six to eight years without artificial fertiliser. Production uses spring water filtered through volcanic rock and wild airborne yeast to kick off natural fermentation. The result is a tequila handcrafted in small batches at the Hacienda de Oro distillery in the town of Amatitán.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Floral, with a clean, unmistakable agave aroma.

  Palate

  Fruity and fresh, with a touch of lime and vanilla plus a light, tingling pepper note, while agave carries all the way through.

  Finish

  Long and complex, yet gentle to drink.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know the agave used for Mayaciel Blanco is left to mature for up to eight years on the fields in the Valle de Tequila, while agave for mass-produced tequila is often harvested much earlier? That long maturation is a big part of why the agave flavour is so concentrated.

  Mayaciel Reposado Tequila 50 cl 43%

  Item no.: 059763-615-23

  In Amatitán, in the shadow of the Sierra Madre, this Reposado doesn't rest in the usual bourbon barrels. It's been left to mature in barrels that once crossed the Caribbean full of rum - and the result is a sweetness you rarely find in a tequila.

  Expert Description

  Mayaciel Reposado Tequila is a Reposado Tequila matured in Caribbean rum barrels and bottled at 43%.

  Behind the bottle stands Hacienda de Oro, the Partida family's distillery in the Valle de Tequila near Amatitán. Don Partida founded the distillery in the 1970s, and his recipes and techniques are still used today by the current master distiller, his descendant David Partida. Mayaciel uses only agaves from its own fields, where the blue Weber agaves mature for six to eight years without artificial fertiliser before they're harvested and cooked into tequila a stone's throw from the distillery.

  What sets this Reposado apart from almost every other is the choice of barrel. Mayaciel uses only carefully selected rum barrels from the Caribbean for maturation - not the bourbon barrels the industry has otherwise made close to standard. The barrels are thoroughly prepared before the tequila fills them, and the nearly six months on wood give the spirit a layered aroma where the fresh agave still comes through, now joined by the sweetness of rum.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Cooked agave meets a gentle sweetness of vanilla and caramel - soft and inviting from the first breath.

  Palate

  Fresh, floral agave mingles with tropical fruit, while the rum's spiced barrel character runs as a quiet undercurrent throughout.

  Finish

  Silky and long, without a rough edge - one of the smoothest finishes you'll find in a Reposado.

  Mayaciel Rosa Tequila 50 cl 44%

  Item no.: 059763-615-21

  In the Valle de Tequila, on an old estate in the small town of Amatitán, sits Hacienda de Oro. The Partida family has been growing agave and distilling tequila here since the 1970s, and this is where Mayaciel Rosa comes from, a tequila that breaks the rules and finds its colour in red wine barrels.

  Expert Description

  Mayaciel Rosa is a 100% agave Mexican Tequila, finished in Malbec red wine barrels and bottled at 44%.

  Mayaciel is a small, family-run tequila house that grows its own agave on fields in the Valle de Tequila. The plants are left to mature for six to eight years, entirely without artificial fertiliser, before being harvested and distilled at Hacienda de Oro. With the Rosa expression, Mayaciel has created an entirely new category: the tequila is finished for several weeks in hand-selected Malbec barrels from a winery in the Mexican highlands, which gives it its distinctive reddish colour and aroma of dark berries.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark berries, lifted by a clean, unmistakable agave aroma.

  Palate

  Dark red grape and wild berry notes, a fine tannic structure, a touch of pepper and clear agave underneath.

  Finish

  Pleasantly dry, with a layered, rich finish.
