Description
The brand’s Blanco Tequila is of extreme high quality. It’s stand-out bottle is carefully hand crafted and made out of ceramic material. Produced at the Casa Maestri distillery, it is an unaged tequila that is bottled after a second distillation in order to retain its natural characteristics together with transparency and brightness. The aromas boast refined, lifted, floral notes with a touch of roasted fruit, citrus hints and a savoury character. Hence it is a unique addition to any backbar or spirits collection. They utilise traditional slow baking in brick ovens and autoclaves to cook the blue agave hearts, and traditional mills (molinos) to extract the juices from the Agave. This extraordinary Blanco tequila comes from the most awarded tequila distillery in Mexico.

La Catrina was a zinc etching originally created in 1910 by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada. He was known for his images of political and social satire. She became a symbolic figure during the time of the Mexican Revolution.
La Catrina is often associated with Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a pre-Colombian Meso-American observace of death and life that is celebrated on November 2nd in all of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula and parts of Central America.
La Catrina in her elegance broad-brimmed hat first appeared in a satirical engraving that mocked those who pretended to be of a higher class, even if that meant starving, and going painfully thin, or without flesh.
To this day, La Catrina continues to be a symbolic figure. She has become part of the imagery for Dia de los muertos but also she can be found in books, cartoons, posters, figurines and artwork spanning over 100 years.
