The agave takes 10 years to reach maturity and there are therefore only ten harvests per century. Each huge agave plant weighs 50 kilos (100 pounds) on average and 10 kilos (20 pounds) of agave are required to produce just one litre of agave spirit. By contrast, sugar cane, barley and grapes can be harvested at least once a year making rum, whisky and brandy rather less expensive to produce. At Destileria Porfidio, they steam-cook the agave plants for at least 24 hours.

Ocho 8 Plata Tequila
An estate-grown, 100% Blue Agave Tequila range, OCHO is produced as a collaboration between by Tomas Estes (the man credited with bringing the first bottle of Tequila to Europe) and renowned distillers, the Camarena family. What's really unique about OCHO is that it bears the first ever "Tequila vintage". Not unlike the labelling of fine wines, OCHO's "Tequila vintage" signifies the exact year or harvest and location of the Agave plants that the spirit was derived from, underlining the finely balanced...

It has a lovely bright appearance with silvery and slightly blue hues, a great body. Its nose is intense and powerful where cooked agave is fully expressed, topped off with herbal tones such as mint and eucalyptus and some hints of fruit and a mild buttery note, resulting in an elegant aromatic harmony. Its taste confirms the promise of its nose with generous agave and very well defined hints of fruit and herbs with a sweet aftertaste. It slips through the mouth like silk.

This is a brilliantly clear and colourless, unaged tequila, with mildly fresh agave aroma with hints of citrus and sweet floral notes.The initial spiciness, with toasted oak, on a background of herbs and fresh agave is exceptionally well balanced with no bite or burn. It has a clean and cool finish with Lingering white pepper. Tres Generaciones is a tribute to the Sauza Dons who have run the distillery for the past 3 generations. The distillery was founded 100 years ago by Don Cenobio Sauza who...

The process begins in the area of Jalicso, where a selection of 10 year old agave is cooked in ovens of stone to obtain the honey flavours that ferment naturally, and is then slowly distilled on two occasions and aged in oak barrels for a smooth flavour of the silver (plata) Gran Centenario.

Herencia De Plata Reposado Tequila
It has a bright yellow-gold appearance with an appetizing body that lets its personality slide slowly down the sides of the glass. Its nose is canned fruit where peach, apple, apricot and cherry prevail; the agave is delicate, finishing on joyful notes of vanilla, coconut and caramel that reflect the time spent in casks. It has the taste of a well developed personality, and the fruit, agave and vanilla linger on in the mouth; it is mild with a dry finish.

Its floral and herbal notes are perfectly complimented by hints of clove, almond and fresh wood. It's clean and light on taste, but heavy on mischievous potential.

Colour: Clear Crystal. Nose: Vanilla and coconut milk. Palate: Smooth honey and flowery touch. Finish: Pure, clean and gentle sugary finish. Destileria Porfidio, founded in the early 90s by Martin Grassl, was renowned the world over until recently as the producer of the number one brand of pure agave tequila, a range of spirits of exceptional quality. However, in April 2003 Porfidio released his 1998 vintage Porfidio Rum, a top quality pure cane rum, onto the world market. This exciting addition...

This particular tequila is aged from 18 - 24 months which is normally a period of time preferred for tequila in this category. Hard core Anejo drinkers may prefer tequila aged as long as possible with darker colour and woodier notes. We've seen some press to that affect about Herencia de Plata Anejo but we think this category of drinker often misses the point of what truly makes a well balanced, 100% agave, aged tequila. This Anejo, while only a degree darker in colour than the Reposado, has great...
