“It comes from the history of the founders of this company,” Rodriguez says., which was created by former Patrón executives who brought on Rodriguez for his decades of experience in spirits production of tequila.The unique vodka starts in Jalisco, Mexico where the Blue Weber agave is harvested after spending seven years under the sun. The agave is distilled in Mexico to 90 proof and then brought to Munster, Texas where it is distilled again to 190 proof.
This unique approach to the classic spirit creates a flavor profile with a rounded finish, a smooth mouthfeel and citrus flavors from the agave plant, Rodriguez explains.After receiving consumer feedback, the company found that those who enjoy vodka like the unique take and those who enjoy tequila like seeing how far the agave can go.
“Is it tequila? Is it vodka? We can sit and talk about that for hours…Just give it a try and let me know what you think,” said Rodriguez. The vodka was launched on May 7 and can now be found in stores in Texas, California, Florida and New York or online at Foodie 411: Steak and Ale's delay, Mixtitos Kitchen's struggles, the return of Crossroads Diner & expansion of Tacodeli
