Coracho

A Mexican Tequila brand inspired by the personality and culture of Ibiza, Coracho Tequila has a comprehensive range including a Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, Extra Añejo, Añejo Cristalino, and even a Blanco Rosa. Coracho combines agave plants, grown for 7 years in the rich volcanic soil of the lowlands of Jalisco and Nayarit, from the two Mexican ancestral territories of the Coras and the Huicholes, two cultures today united by a common language, Corachol. Hence the name of the brand. Once selected, the harvesting process (jima) starts the piña into smaller pieces to allow ample heat penetration while baking in a brick oven for more than 24 hours at 100ºC. The baked agave is shredded using a stainless steel knife shredder and then feed it into a tandem of roller mills fitted with alkaline water dispersers with a pH of 8.5 to extract the highest quality juice. The juice is fermented in stainless steel vats for 72 hours at a temperature of 36 ºC and a pH of 4.2, where the agave’s yeast transforms the sugar into alcohol. The fermented liquid is double distilled in a copper stills and for the aged expressions, they’re placed in French oak barrels.
