This item is non-alcoholic. It follows a similar production process to the brand's spirits, but is distilled prior to fermentation, resulting in distilled agave flavor without the alcohol.

Aqara is at the forefront of the next wave, expanding the agave category. With their own unique production techniques, rather than simply trying to imitate tequila or mezcal, we are beginning to see how producers from various agave growing regions are able to express terroir through agave.

Origin: Caraz, Peru
Agave: Ensamble of Americana Expansa Gentry and Cordillerensis Harvest: 10 years (24 brix)
Cook: Ancient clay oven for 3-4 days with Eucalyptus wood
Crush: Hammer mill
Fermentation: NONE 
Distillation: Double in two copper pot stills (120 and 150 liters respectively). First distillation: Peruvian peppers ají amarillo and rocoto are added to a vapor basket, and in the second distillation the vapor basket + peppers are added directly into the pot. This spice adds to an alcohol-like flavor profile, particularly in cocktail usage.

Sorboxan is added for stabilization after distillation
