Petro Kostiv is a seasoned entrepreneur with several global projects under his belt. Saul Perez Ocampo is a Master Distiller and Kostiv's long-time buddy. When the former gave Kostiv a bottle of Tequila as a gift, a new passion blossomed. We can't blame him, the Mexican Spirit is an intoxicating one! One thing led to another and several visits to Jalisco later the pair decided to form a partnership. The goal? Bringing proper Artisanal Tequila ― and with it, Mexican culture ― to the world, working with several charity organizations along the way.
The premium Spirit itself is crafted by Ocampo in Amatitan, Jalisco, using agave from the lowlands. After the piñas are harvested, they are roasted in brick ovens, crushed in roller mills, and open-air fermented in wooden vats, before being double distilled. Tradition is best, as we all know! But it's at this point that the foursome of expressions that they currently offer veers off course, as the Reposado and (Extra) Añejo get aged in different Wine barrels. Naturally, the Blanco forgoes this process, presenting the Tequila in its purest, unaged form.

Blanco

In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
There are over 136 species of Agave. For Tequila to be officially called “Tequila,” it must be comprised of at least 51% of the Blue Weber Agave species.
Tequila goes bad with time! Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidation and evaporation diminish the quality of the Tequila and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Tequila is made from one type of agave, Blue agave. Each of these plants takes at least 6 years, more likely a year or two longer to mature.
Need a salt shaker and lime? Nah. The Mexicans take their Tequila neat and prefer to leave the lime and salt for their margaritas. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to follow suit.

Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.

If the Tequila bottle label does not state that it’s manufactured from 100% Blue Agave, then, by default, that Tequila is a Mixto (manufactured from 51% Blue Agave).
