Review: El Luchador Tequila Blanco

El Luchador Tequila was inspired by the masked wrestlers of Mexico.  After Co-Founding Casa Noble, and Founding Tequila 123, David Ravandi launched El Luchador at the same 1480 distillery as Tequila 123.  He also creates Mezcal Craneo.  David relaunched El Luchador earlier this year with a Blanco, Reposado, and 110 Proof Blanco expression.  He has since released El Luchador Anejo.  The new El Luchador is made at NOM 1517 with 100% Weber Blue agave, estate grown at 6500 feet above sea level in the Highland Region.  The previous El Luchador was actually a Lowland tequila grown at 4200 feet.  In fact Casa Noble and Tequila 123, are also made with agave grown in the Lowland Region.  El Luchador is slow fermented with native yeast and open air fermented.  Once distilled it is bottled in hand blown glass bottles made from recycled glass.  Read more »
