Padre Azul Tequila Silver
Product Description
Padre Azul Silver is bottled straight after double distillation. Awarded 95 points by Tequila & Spirits Magazine Clear, it features a clear, transparent color and the incomparable taste of fresh agave.
Padre Azul is an award-winning, super-premium 100% blue agave tequila known for its vanilla and caramel flavors and unparalleled smooth finish. “Azul” refers to the “blue” Weber agave, from which tequila is made, and the name “Padre” is derived from the popular Mexican saying “que padre,” an expression of cheerful excitement, meaning “how fantastic” or “how wonderful”.
It takes about 30 lb of Agave to produce one bottle of Padre Azul, while other brands use about 10 lb per bottle. Padre azul is grown in the valleys, where the earth is more alkaline with a lower pH, less iron, and more basalt as opposed to the highlands. Because of the arid temperatures of the area, the agave is much dryer and has more fiber. There are volcanic soils in the valleys. The water quality in the valleys is better than standard wells, which adds a unique flavor specific to the region. That’s why the valley agave develop citrus and earthy aromas.
Grown between 8 to 10 years, the agave is then cooked in a mampostería, a traditional oven that steams between 24 and 48 hours, then continues cooking with the remaining residual heat. Padre Azul's fermentation is strictly spontaneous, i.e. they do not use artificial yeasts of any kind– only naturally occurring yeasts. The climate has a lot of influence on this process and can take anywhere from 72 to 96 hours. The heads and tails are removed prior to distillation. The first and last part of the distillation are withdrawn and not used again, leaving only the best portion of tequila to go into the final product. Padre azul uses only the ’heart’ of the batch.
All Padre Azul tequila is bottled in hand-blown glasses bottles inspired by Mexican heritage and culture, and topped with a 270g solid metal skull, paying homage to Dia de los Muertos and eternal friendship. The leather jacket with lacing is a tribute to the Mexican “Lucha Libre” wrestling masks and is a tribute to “El Santo”, the most famous luchador in Mexico.
