PaQuí Tequila

PaQuí is an artisanal tequila handcrafted in a small distillery using traditional pot stills. Our Master Distiller invented a new process to achieve an inviting aroma, layers of flavor, and a soft finish – so unlike the other tequilas on the market. LESS BURN, LESS BITE We remove the impurities that make other tequila burn. UNIQUE & PLEASANT FLAVORS Aromas of sweet agave, a squeeze of Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, and more. SO SMOOTH YOU DON’T HAVE TO MIX Though the complexity enhances any cocktail • 100% Blue Weber Agave from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico - We hand-select the finest agaves, grown in the rich red clay soil. • Steamed in a stainless steel autoclave to release complex aromas and flavors • Fermented for 5 days in stainless steel using a fresh wine yeast for consistent quality • Made to be exceedingly smooth by Selective Distillation
