Frida Kahlo “I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.”

Was a Mexican Artist who is best known for her self portraits. Mexican and Amerindian culture are important in her work. Even if she was labeled as a surrealist she believed that her work reflected her reality and not her dreams. She suffered lifelong health problems that isolated her from other people but this greatly influenced her works. She had an unsettled marriage with also famous Mexican painter Diego Rivera. All in all, she lived a vibrant life and her artwork was recognized only after her death. Tequila was supposedly her weapon of choice when it came to fiery distillates.

Oooops.

About
Details

The best of Agave.

When it comes to fine Tequila, care and tradition are considered to be of paramount importance because Mexican’s see it as a gift from the gods. Carlos Camarena passionately carries on the family business his grandfather established back in the 1930’s. Not only has he launched Tequilas that have gained mythological status, his 100% Agave Jalisco Tequilas are a smash hit that are rapidly snapped up globally. Camarena’s partnership with Dale Sklar, a recognizable Tequila authority, they defined a new expression of Tequila-istry with their approach to making it that has dominated top-notch competitions.

Villa Lobos Reposado’s soul comes from Agave harvested by agaveros on the Camarena Family plantations in Los Altos. This location lies amongst the celebrated Arandas Highlands, from which only the sweetest and ripest Agaves are used for fermentation and distillation. Like his grandfather Don Felipe, Carlos regularly walks amongst the family Agave fields to ensure crops produce good sugar levels required for fine Tequila.

Villa Lobos Reposado is double distilled then rested in stainless steel tanks for 6 months and later aged in oak barrels for another 11 months. Fiesta in a bottle with abundance of taste we tell’ya!
