CRAZY AMBER
The extraordinary takes time
The highly artisanal process incorporates a carefully balanced selection of new and aged barrels. The matured Irish whiskey and stout beer provide compelling and exotic notes of honey, malt, roasted grains, and cereals; the one that aged port gives delicate notes of nuts; Pedro Ximenez sherry provides fine floral and herbal notes, and French white oak contributes exquisite and elegant spicy notes.
Loco Ámbar remains for six to eight months in each barrel so that our Maestro Tequilero achieves the perfect and complex balance. The amber hue reflects the aroma and flavor of the cooked agave, the mineral notes, and the herbal character of Loco Blanco as it matures, which are perfectly integrated and evolve into an expression of unparalleled quality, never seen in any other tequila.
