A sharing Tequila of the highest quality! Padrecito is made from 100% blue Weber Agave that is harvested young at only 6 years of maturation. Following the harvest, the carefully selected Agave is steamed for 24 hours in the signature masonry oven...

...and then left to rest in the oven’s residual heat for another 12 hours. Finally, a 72-hour period of fermentation followed by two weeks of stabilization completes the intricate process and ensures the highest quality and exquisite taste.
