Review: Calirosa Tequila Rosa Blanco

Calirosa Tequila Rosa Blanco was recently released along with Calirosa Tequila Rosa Anejo.  An Extra Anejo expression is currently barrel aging.  The brand was created by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his wife, former Victoria Secret model Behati Prinsloo.  The tequila base is crafted by the Real family at Tequila Selecto de Amatitan, where they have been distilling tequila since 1942.  Some of the other tequila made at this distillery include AsomBroso, Blue Nectar, Codigo 1316, Insolente, and Manik.  Third generation Master Distiller Luis Trejo Rodriguez selects 100% Weber blue agave that have grown for 7-9 years and have a minimum 26% brix or sugar content.  The pinas are hand trimmed and cooked brick ovens.  The extracted juice is fermented for up to 50 hours before it is double distilled.  The tequila is then aged in California Red Wine barrels for 30 days.
