EXCELLIA TEQUILA
Mexico
Born from the partnership of two men and two know-hows, Excellia™ tequila marries to perfection the agave and grape characters, the wine and spirits worlds. Excellia™ is a blend of authenticity and innovation built upon deeply rooted traditions.
Handcrafted in the highlands of Jalisco, Excellia™ is made from 100% agave Tequilana Weber Blue. The estate grown blue agave plants are cut by hand, cooked slowly in traditional bricks and stone ovens. The cooked agaves are shredded and crushed to extract the aromatic agave juice and then fermented in wooden vats and twice distilled in copper stills.
A separate aging in vintage grand cru sauternes casks and in twenty-years-old cognac barrels followed by a unique blending completes this very authentic tequila making-process.
