The journey of El Torito begins with the meticulous selection of agaves, handpicked at their peak ripeness. These agaves are then crushed by a modern-day Tahona called "Frankenstein," which imparts a unique character to the tequila. The crushed agave is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and wood tanks, enhancing the complexity of the spirit. The tequila is then distilled in classic copper pots, further refining its purity and depth of flavor.
JH El Torito is an additive-free tequila, made with a commitment to natural ingredients and traditional methods. This is a limited availability small batch tequila, making it a highly exclusive offering for tequila aficionados. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed tasting this one!
Tasting notes: From the moment you lay eyes on the uniquely shaped bottle, you'll sense that something extraordinary awaits. Once opened, you'll be greeted by tantalizing aromas of vibrant citrus, rich cooked agave and white pepper. Pour it into a Glencairn and discover layers of honey and bell pepper emerging from the glass. On the palate, this tequila performs a delicate dance between peppery spice, orange peel, rich agave sweetness, subtle saltiness and earthy undertones. The finish reveals a delightful burst of white pepper that invites you to savor another sip.
