Review: San Matias Tahona Blanco Tequila
San Matias Tahona Blanco Tequila was launched December 2016. It was created to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the San Matias de Jalisco Distillery. This distillery also produces Corazon Tequila. When Don Delfino Gonzalez started producing Casa San Matias Tequila in 1886 he used a large stone wheel, called a tahona to crush the cooked agave. That same stone wheel is used to craft San Matias Tahona Blanco Tequila. It is made from 100% agave grown for 7-10 years in the red volcanic soil fields of the Highlands. The agave is slow baked in brick ovens for 48 hours and crushed by the same tahona stone used more than 100 years ago. The agave juice is fermented for 72 hours in pine wooded tanks and then double distilled at low temperatures in a 300 liter copper pot still by Master Distiller Rocio Rodriquez. Read more
