Review: Los Sundays Blanco Tequila

Los Sundays was established in 2016 on the principles of quality, originality, and style.  Los Sundays Blanco Tequila was released September 2017 along with Los Sundays Reposado.  The tequila is crafted at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila where the distillery is positioned over a running volcano river system where the water can be used in the distilling process.  Los Sundays is made from hand selected sustainably farmed 100% Blue Weber agave grown in both the Highland and Lowland Region for between 8-12 years.  A minimum of 23 sugar brix per agave is required before selecting, to ensure premium smoothness and flavor.  The distillery has secured relationships with agave farmers in the Highland and Lowland Regions to ensure consistent quality.  The agave is slow cooked in “hornos”, above ground stone ovens for between 24-48 hours using steam.  The Molino’s then crush the agave and extract the juice.  A proprietary yeast strain from Germany is added in a fermentation process that lasts 48-72 hours.  Los Sundays is double distilled.  In the final stages of the distillation process a signature natural coconut extract is added and left to distill for the final 8 hours.  The natural coconut extract is added before the distillation process is finished to maintain smoothness while still enabling bright, crisp agave flavors to sit foremost in the flavor profile.  Distribution is currently limited to California but Los Sundays Blanco Tequila is available to order online at http://www.hitimewine.net Read more »
