Co-founded by Eva Longoria who wanted to celebrate her Mexican heritage and uplift the women in her communities, Casa Del Sol is a luxury Tequila brand from the Mexican region Altos de Jalisco that was inspired by the Aztec goddess of agave, Mayahuel. The story goes that this chick created agave with long green spires that could protect her and her lover, the God of Wind, from her spiteful grandmother. Apparently, the granny was still quite upset and burnt the agave with a bolt of lightning. Lucky for Mayafuel, a pia filled with the sweet nectar of agave was left. That made her the Goddess of Tequila, so it really turned fine in the end.
Having grown up around the greatest Maestro Tequileros, Mariana Padila is now Casa del Sols Artesana Tequilera. For overseeing every step of the production process, theyve got Alejandra Pelayo, the goddaughter of the late Francisco Alcaraz, master distille,r and creator of one of the most successful tequilas in the world.
What about the Tequila? Its different. For example, while other Tequila brands mostly source Whiskey barrels from the U.S., these guys get handcrafted Cognac barrels from the famous Martell family in France for a softer yet more enhanced flavor profile. Its New World Mexican artistry meeting Old World French craftsmanship.
Made from the finest 7YO Blue Weber agave, Casa Del Sol Tequila Blanco was created to offer the pure and unaltered flavors and aromas of agave. Like a true Blanco, it wasnt aged in a barrel. Clear in color, expect to discover the traditional smooth and complex body of the agave thats bursting with pleasant flavors of fresh agave, mint, spice notes, and caramel green apple.
