Process & Production
DAVO Blanco begins with Blue Weber agave cultivated at Hacienda Capellanía in the Highlands of Jalisco. The agave piñas are harvested and cooked before being milled to extract the sweet agave juice.
Fermentation takes place in open stainless-steel tanks, where the yeast contributes to the tequila's distinctive character. The fermented agave is then double distilled to produce a clean, expressive spirit that preserves the natural qualities of the cooked agave.
Unlike aged tequila expressions, DAVO Blanco is bottled without barrel aging. This allows its fresh agave character, citrus notes, and subtle earthy nuances to remain at the forefront.
