That time I met the incredible @sophiedecobecq for breakfast in Guadalajara.

She told me she had some very special samples to try and made sure to tell me not to eat beforehand because we needed fresh palates. So there we were at like 7:30 in the morning, tasting some absolutely insane aged tequila that would eventually be blended together to become the @tequilacalle23 Criollo El Dos. An añejo-forward blend with extra añejo and a touch of reposado, all made from Criollo agave. 

A few months later Sophie was in Massachusetts and we met back up. She gave me these incredible pieces of artwork by Rose Guerrero that would eventually become the label for the finished bottle. 

Sophie, I know how long you’ve been working on this and how much this release means to you. It’s incredibly special stuff and I’m really happy to see it finally out in the world.

You deserve it. Salud! 🥃

JOVEN sips more like an aged Reposado or an Anejo.  This is my flavor profile. Absolutely delicious. Salud @sftequilashop @entremanos.tequila NOM 1522

National Tequila Day may be an unofficial holiday, but it’s still a great reason to reflect on how fortunate we are to enjoy this spirit.

Tequila belongs to Mexico, and it’s a privilege to enjoy it, learn about the people and places behind it, and be welcomed into the country, communities, and distilleries where its makers generously share their craft and stories.

A huge shoutout to the ambassadors, bartenders, tasting hosts, and all the enthusiasts who keep those stories and conversations going.

And thank you to everyone here who joins in through comments, messages, questions, recommendations, and shared pours. I’m happy to play a small part in helping more people discover and appreciate well made tequila.

Today, I hope you open something good. Salud, and happy National Tequila Day. 🥂
