don Pilar 2016 TEQUILA EXPO—SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15
Don Pilar grows his agave on five private ranches in the Highlands of Jalisco near the town of San José de Gracia.
Our master distillers insist on serenading the agave must with Baroque music during the 200 hours of fermentation to coax the conversion from sugar-to-alcohol.
A blanco tequila is unaged and clear—the distilled essence of the agave plant.
The distinctive golden color and buttery, oak aroma of Don Pilar’s Añejo comes as a result of aging his tequila in virgin American White Oak barrels.
Don Pilar’s Extra Añejo is aged in new American White Oak barrels for 36 months. Leopoldo and Gabriel—our master distillers—add a final, masterly stroke and finish aging it for an additonal four months in French Limousin Oak casks to impart a luscious fruity finish.
