Corralejo Triple Destilado Reposado Tequila

Corralejo Triple Destilado is the reposado distilled three times — a smoother, lighter cut of the blue-bottle tequila from Hidalgo's hacienda. Hacienda Corralejo, in Pénjamo, Guanajuato, is the birthplace of Miguel Hidalgo, the Father of Mexico, and one of the first estates in Mexico to sell tequila commercially, in 1775; it's one of the few distilleries outside Jalisco allowed to make tequila, revived by Leonardo Rodríguez Moreno in 1996 at NOM 1368. The Triple Destilado is 100% hand-picked blue Weber agave cooked in clay ovens, distilled three times in copper pot stills — the Charentais double distillation plus a third pass — rested in oak for the reposado term, and bottled on the estate at 40% ABV in a bottle the hacienda blows itself. A third distillation strips the sharper congeners that some find harsh in the standard line: expect the Reposado's coconut, pineapple, and vanilla — Wine Enthusiast's notes — in a cleaner, lighter, softer register, with the agave more delicate, the oak gentler, and a short, smooth finish. Honest note: triple distillation trades character for smoothness — enthusiasts prefer the standard Reposado's bite, and drinkers who found it harsh will prefer this. For a reposado Margarita, a Paloma, or a shot without a wince. Three times, from Hidalgo's hacienda.
