Review: Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila
Dulce Vida Pineapple Jalapeno Tequila was just released. It joins a flavored tequila lineup that includes Grapefruit and Lime. Dulce Vida is produced in the Village of San Ignacio Cerro Gordo with 100% Organic blue agave grown for eight years to a height of about 5 foot tall. The pinas weighing up to 200 pounds are chopped and slow roasted for 20 hours in steel auto claves. After cooking, the pinas are milled and rinsed. The by-product of the milling, is a sweet liquid called “must” or honey water. A proprietary yeast strain is added and a slow open air fermentation follows. Master Distiller Carlos Jurado double distills the tequila. Real pineapple, jalapeno, and natural flavors are infused with the tequila base before bottling at 70 proof. Read more
