Vuelo del Aviador Gran Reserva Tequila Reposado

Vuelo del Aviador Gran Reserva Tequila Reposado

Vuelo del Aviador crafts artisanal tequila of the highest quality in Jalisco, Mexico. Their lineup of luxury spirits consists of the Plata, Reposado, Aejo, and Extra Aejo. The finest blue weber agaves used are fully-matured, meaning they have been growing on the estate for 7 to 9 years. They are then cooked slowly in clay ovens for 72 hours before the pulp is fermented and distilled using copper-pot stills. The different juices then get aged for varying amounts of time, from the Plata which takes 4 months, to the Extra Aejo which takes 5 to 7 years. Different casks are used for maturation. These include French and American oak, Napa Valley red wine barrels, as well as whiskey casks. The Plata has won a Double Gold Medal at the 2020 edition of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The Vuelo del Aviador Gran Reserva Reposado spends 9 months in Napa Valley red wine barrels. Employing a combination of American and French oak, it is blended and bottled at 80 proof. "Vuelo del Aviador" is Spanish for "flight of the pilot", hence the wings in the design of the bottle. The handcrafted tequila is rich and complex with notes of toasted agave, oak, fruit, and honey, as well as prominent brandy notes.
