Review: Black Box Silver Tequila

Black Box Premium Tequila is one of three premium bagged and boxed spirits produced by Constellation Brands.  Vodka and Whiskey are the other two.  Constellation has been selling boxed alcohol since 2003 when they acquired Black Box Premium Wine.  Black Box now has twelve unique award winning varietals.  With a suggested retail price of $24.99 for 1.75 liters of 100% blue agave tequila, Constellation hopes to prove they can do for spirits what they have already accomplished with wine.  Black Box is produced at La Cofradia Distillery, and very little additional information about this tequila is available.  La Cofradia creates over a dozen brands of tequila including Casa Noble, Mi Campo, Grand Mayan, and Luna Sueno.

Review: Mi Campo Blanco Tequila

Mi Campo Blanco Tequila was launched November 2018 by Constellation Brands.  Mi Campo Reposado was also released.  Mi Campo translates to “my field”.  The bottles label illustrated by Mexico City artist Raul Urias depicts the passion for the art of creating tequila, and pride of the land.  Mi Campo is not Constellation’s first tequila.  They also produce Casa Noble and Black Box Tequila.  The Constellation brand stable, also includes Corona Beer, Svedka Vodka, Robert Mondavi Wines, and High West Whiskey.  Mi Campo starts with 100% blue weber agave harvested for 7 years.  The pinas are slow cooked for 38 hours.  A unique method of squeezing the cooked pinas to release the juice instead of crushing with a Tahona stone is designed to eliminate flavors of bitterness.  The juice is fermented for 3 to 5 days in open stainless steel tanks allowing aromatics from local mango and citrus trees to influence the flavor.  The spirit is rested in French oak barrels once used to mature Napa Valley Chardonnay wine, for three weeks prior to bottling.  Read more »
