Process & Production

Espíritu Bramido is produced at Casa Tequilera Joselito (NOM 1675) in Tizapán El Alto, Jalisco, using agave sourced exclusively from the shores of Lake Chapala. The distillery uses natural spring water originating in the Sierra del Tigre mountains.

The Blue Weber Agave is cooked in stone and brick ovens, then crushed using a traditional tahona. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks through open-air fermentation, using spontaneous fermentation and 100% agave. The fermented juice is then double distilled in copper pot stills, producing the concentrated high-proof spirit.

What Makes It Special

At 49% ABV, the High Proof Blanco offers considerably more intensity than the standard 40% ABV Espíritu Bramido Blanco. The higher proof allows the cooked-agave sweetness, mineral character, herbal notes, and peppery spice to come through with greater concentration.

Espíritu Bramido is particularly distinctive because it is made with agave from the Lake Chapala terroir, giving this expression a strong sense of place. The traditional tahona extraction and copper-pot double distillation further emphasize the natural character of the agave.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat in a copita or tequila tasting glass. Because of its high proof, allowing the tequila to rest in the glass for several minutes can help the alcohol settle and reveal additional layers of agave, citrus, herbs, and spice.

It also works beautifully in a Margarita, Paloma, Ranch Water, Tommy's Margarita, or Cantarito when you want a cocktail with additional tequila intensity.

Pair with ceviche, grilled seafood, tacos, roasted meats, guacamole, fresh salsa, citrus-marinated dishes, or spicy Mexican cuisine.

Brand Story

Espíritu Bramido is produced by Oswaldo González, a sixth-generation agave farmer and master distiller. His family's relationship with agave dates back to 1869, and in 2024 the family established Casa Tequilera Joselito, bringing their agave heritage into tequila production.

The brand's defining connection is to Lake Chapala, with its tequila made exclusively from agave grown along the lake's shores. Espíritu Bramido High Proof Blanco expresses that terroir through traditional cooking, tahona milling, spontaneous fermentation, and copper-pot distillation, resulting in a powerful and highly characterful high-proof blanco.
