From Amatitán, Jalisco, home to the first recorded agave distillation in all of Mexico. Maestro Tequilero Alberto Partida crafts this single estate tequila from Blue Weber Agave from El Novillero and Las Rosas. Cooked in a mesquite-fired stone oven, and milled using a tahona. Distilled in historic copper pot stills, this has aromas of mesquite, citrus zest, dried herbs, grilled tropical fruits, and cherries.

Staff Pick Notes

Thank goodness that spirits production is trending towards craft, tradition, and authenticity. As consumers become more educated about the liquids they imbibe, they reject the factory made, additive loaded schlock that line the shelves of big brand stores. Don Alberto is the 5th generation of Partidas that is running nom 1477. With his Amatiteña label, his aim is to showcase the terroir of his Amatitan district of Jalisco. In order to do this, he brought back all the ancient methods of production. These include fire roasting agave, Tahona crushing, and fermenting with native yeasts in wood tanks. The results are stunning with flavors of smoke, lactic cream, cucumber, honeydew, and rock candy. The complexity rivals some of the best mezcals.
