In a process reminiscent of both the “pechuga” tradition in mezcal, and the “ponche” tradition of fruit-steeped spirits most popular around the winter holidays, Alberto has combined the bounty of his home and the Partida family’s agricultural legacy—mango, plum, mamey, and agave—in one bottle.
In May, fruits from the season’s harvest are selected and prepared before eventually being added to the second pass of Alberto’s blanco tequila in his small wood-fired copper pot stills. The resulting spirit is then rested in small glass damajuanas (demijohns) for a full year. Proofed to an envelope-pushing, full-spectrum 55% ABV, Amatitena Barrancas Tequila is one of the most exciting and hotly anticipated (and limited!) new releases from Mexico in 2024.
