Review: Los Sundays Reposado Tequila

Los Sundays Reposado Tequila has been redesigned and repackaged.  I like the new high-end bottle design, I hope the same can be said about the bottles contents.  Our regular readers may recall the previously reviewed Los Sundays Reposado was infused with coconut, and it was awarded a Gold Medal.  The current version is made from the Los Sundays Blanco base that is crafted at Destiladora del Valle de Tequila.  The agave used is hand selected from sustainably farmed 100% Blue Weber agave grown in both the Highland and Lowland region for 8-12 years.  A minimum 23 sugar brix count is required before harvesting.  The distillery has secured relationships with the agave growers to ensure consistency.  The agave is slow roasted in stone ovens for 24-48 hours using stem.  The extracted juice is fermented for 48-72 hours before it is double distilled.  It is then matured for 1 year in once used American oak whiskey barrels sourced from Tennessee, before bottling at 80 proof.

Review: Los Sundays Blanco Tequila

Los Sundays Blanco Tequila is one of three expression produced under the Los Sundays label.  They also craft a Reposado and Coconut Blanco.  My regular readers may recall my previous reviews of Los Sundays Reposado and Blanco Tequila.  At that time their Blanco was infused with coconut flavor.  Los Sundays has redesigned their packaging and Los Sundays Blanco is now unflavored.  I will later review Los Sundays Coconut Blanco Tequila.  My hope is they haven’t changed their original formula.  Los Sundays Blanco is made from hand selected sustainably farmed 100% Blue Weber agave grown in both the Highland and Lowland region for 8-12 years.  A minimum 23 sugar brix is required before harvesting.  The distillery has secured relationships with the agave growers to ensure consistency.  Destiladora del Valle de Tequila is positioned over a running volcano river where the water is used in the distillation.  The agave is slow cooked in stone ovens for 24-48 hours using steam.  The extracted juice is fermented with a proprietary yeast strain from Germany for 48-72 hours before it is double distilled.
