Equanimity Tequila is a premium brand that embodies the essence of balance and tranquility, as reflected in its name. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Equanimity offers a range of expressions to cater to diverse palates.

Production Details: Sourced from 100% blue agave plants, Equanimity Tequila is produced using traditional methods passed down through generations of Mexican artisans. The agave is hand-selected and slow-cooked to preserve its natural flavors, resulting in a tequila that is rich in character and smooth on the palate.

Expressions:

Blanco: Unaged and bottled immediately after distillation, this expression captures the pure essence of agave with bright citrus notes.
Reposado: Aged for three months in white oak bourbon barrels, the Reposado acquires a natural color and flavor with sweet notes enhanced by the barrel.
Añejo: Aged for a full year in a combination of white oak bourbon barrels (65%) and French oak red wine barrels (35%), the Añejo presents smoky notes that are more pronounced due to the extended aging period.

Tasting Notes:

Blanco:
- Nose: Sweet and prominent, with detectable agave notes and high tones given by the 40% alcohol volume.
- Palate: Subtle agave notes add a touch of sweetness, providing a long and smooth finish. Ideal for mixing in cocktails or enjoying straight.
Reposado:
- Nose: Sweet touches reminiscent of vanilla and caramel, with enhanced agave notes.
- Palate: After three months of aging, the tequila acquires a natural color and flavor with sweet notes that the barrel enhances.
Añejo:
- Nose: Stronger smoky notes, with sweet notes enhanced and a touch of spice.
- Palate: The tequila is aged for a whole year, resulting in more pronounced smoky notes due to the extended time in the barrel.
