Behind the Agave Forward Bar

MIX IT UP BEHIND THE BAR BEHIND THE ART OF Agave BAR

ZIGNUM MEZCAL

With passion and commitment to innovate in the art of making mezcal Zignum Mezcal brings agave enthusiasts its new Cristalino expression, the first in the category of the Añejo Cristalinos of the Mezcales Casa Armando portfolio. Made with the traditional Espadín Agave and aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels, sophisticated wooden notes are achieved. The filtering process impairs a complex but subtle flavor that enhances the aroma and flavor of the agave. Enjoy Zignum Cristalino in a glass designed to sip spirits, on its own or paired with a chaser that is prepared in an old-fashioned glass with ice, with an orange peel and topped with sparkling water.

TEQUILA OCHO REPOSADO BARREL SELECT

Limited edition tequila is aged for eight weeks and eight days in used bourbon barrels from the Brooklyn-based Widow Jane Distillery. This extraordinary single-estate, singlefield spirit is the latest example of Tequila Ocho’s commitment to the expression of terroir in tequila, having been crafted using overripe agaves harvested exclusively from Rancho El Nacimiento, one of many fields, or ranchos, owned and operated by the family of legendary tequilero and Tequila Ocho co-founder Carlos Camarena. The liquid is an agave-forward tequila, for which Tequila Ocho is world-renowned, with the heady aromas, rich caramel, and baking spice notes from Widow Jane bourbon barrels.

G4TEQUILA BLANCO DE MADERA

Led by master distiller Felipe Camarena, a limited release of 100% woodfermented blend G4 Blanco de Madera. The Camarena family has been making the world’s foremost tequilas in Los Altos de Jalisco since 1937. Today, Felipe Camarena and his sons, Luis Felipe, and Alan, are the fourth generation (inspiring the name G4) to carry on the family’s heritage and history. At 90 proof and 45%ABV, G4 Blanco de Madera has a higher proof than traditional G4 Blanco tequila. Look for the tan special release label and gold “Fermentado de Madera” (“fermented in wood”) sticker on the bottle to identify G4 Blanco de Madera. “We are always pushing for great efficiency in our production of the best tequila, but we also are always honoring tradition, and so it was a worthwhile experiment to bring back the old way of fermenting in the wooden tanks,” says Camarena.
