Process & Production
Arriesgado Artesanal Reposado begins with mature Blue Weber agaves that are slowly cooked in fire-heated masonry ovens, allowing the agave to fully develop its natural sweetness. The cooked agaves are then hand-crushed using the traditional "Canoa y Mazo" (canoe and mallet) method, preserving the rich fibers and character of the agave.
Fermentation takes place in open-air wooden vats with agave fibers intact before the tequila is double distilled in wood-fired copper pot stills. The spirit is then rested in French oak barrels, where it gains elegant notes of baking spice, vanilla, caramel, and oak while maintaining its bold agave foundation.
