Review: El Padrino Chocolate Tequila Cream
El Padrino Chocolate Tequila Cream is one of three new tequila creams produced at Casa Maestri. The others include Lime and Original Tequila Cream. El Padrino may offer more tequilas variants than any other brand. Their lineup also includes El Padrino Blanco, Reposado, Anejo, Extra Anejo, Cristalino, Tropical Mango, Spicy Cucumber, and Clementine. They also produce 4 different El Padrino Mezcals. The El Padrino tequila base is made from 100% blue agave grown on their hacienda in San Julian Jalisco Mexico. Once trimmed the hearts are cut in half and steam roasted in centuries old traditional thick stone walled brick ovens for 36-54 hours. Once cooled the pina’s are shredded releasing the sweet juice which is then fermented in wood vats. A double distillation follows. Natural flavors, cream liqueur, and caramel color is blended with the tequila base before bottling at 30 proof. Read more
