Review: Sesion Blanco Tequila
Sesion Blanco Tequila was introduced in Australia in 2015 by husband and wife Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall and their friend Tim Freeburn. While this is not the first Australian launched spirit we have reviewed, it is certainly the first Australian launched tequila we have reviewed. Sesion is now available in the US. I’m going to classify this as another celebrity owned tequila brand as Jennifer Hawkins was Miss Universe 2004, and she has appeared on Dancing with the Stars Australia, and hosted Australia’s Next Top Model. Jake Wall’s resume includes time as a Project Developer. Tim Freeburn is described as a tequila expert and friend of the couple. The threesome traveled to Mexico and partnered with members of the Beckmann Family to develop the Sesion Brand which currently includes Sesion Reposado, and Sesion Mocha. Sesion is produced and bottled at Tierra de Agaves. This distillery also produces Lunazul and Tributo Tequila. The Master Distiller is Francisco Quijano and Master Agave Farmer is Jose Fernandez.
