Review: La Adelita Blanco Tequila
La Adelita Blanco Tequila was launched 2019 along with La Adelita Black, Reposado, Anejo, and Extra Anejo by Chris Radomski. This is not the first spirit Chris has created. He collaborated with Ethan Wayne the youngest son of John Wayne in developing and founding Duke Spirits. Duke’s whiskey lineup now includes Dukes Kentucky Straight, Grand Cru, and Double Barrel Rye. Chris also co-founded Hundred Acre Wine. La Adelita is named to honor the female soldiers that fought and turned the tide in the Mexican Revolution. La Adelita is crafted at Compania Tequilera Hacienda La Capilla. This distillery produces several tequila brands including Ambur, Cuestion, Puntagave, and Cavalino. La Adelita starts with 100% Blue agave grown on a single estate in the Los Altos Region of Jalisco. Once hand selected and trimmed the pinas are split in half and steam roasted. The cooled pinas are crushed and shredded, and the juice is fermented in stainless steel drums. The spirit is double distilled in small Cuban built copper pot stills, bottled, and hand labeled onsite. Read more
