Craft Tequila
If your experience with tequila stops at ordering margaritas at your favorite Mexican restaurant, discovering the world of craft tequila is about to change your life. But don’t get us wrong — while tequila cocktails are delicious and deserve their place in the lineup of party drinks, craft tequilas take you somewhere else entirely.
The term “craft” typically refers to products that are made in small batches with traditional methods. Tequila is currently the fastest-growing spirit in the U.S. and craft tequila is taking the lead.
So what makes tequila so special? Vodka, gin, and most other liquors can be made pretty much anywhere and from a variety of ingredients. Almost anything that ferments can potentially become hard liquor. Tequila is unique in that it can only be made from one plant, the blue agave, which is native only to certain regions of Mexico. That’s why when you buy tequila online from a reputable seller, you can expect a truly authentic tasting experience and enjoy drinks imported from a country with one of the world’s most distinct alcohol making traditions.
Our Rare Craft Tequila
At Curiada, we make it easy to find high-quality craft and rare tequila. We carefully curate the finest spirits from around the globe so you can explore the intriguing world of craft tequila without even leaving home. We offer small-batch and rare tequila for sale from makers your local bottle shop might not even be aware of, allowing you to order tequila online that you can’t buy in a regular store.
Identifying True Craft Tequila
Price alone doesn’t define the quality of an artisanal tequila. Some distilleries take shortcuts like adding colorants or artificial flavorings to their products trying to bring down their tequila prices at the cost of quality. To help boost your confidence when shopping for tequila online, consider these production elements in helping you determine the hallmarks of a true craft product:
- Pure blue agave tequila, not “mixto” products
- No additives
- Agave that is slowly baked, not quickly processed in a pressure cooker
- Agaves that are crushed with stone mills or wooden mallets, which releases more flavor than roller mills and wood chippers
- Barrel aging
- Single estate agave
- Balanced aging (blanco has little aging, reposado is aged for at least two months, and añejo is aged for at least one year)
Serious tequila connoisseurs will also consider the region and terroir in which the agave is grown. Terroir refers to all aspects of the environment where a product is grown, including the type of soil, the microclimate, and the amount of sunlight. The right conditions enable the agave to produce the unique flavors good tequila is known for, which is why it’s important to take the time and get to know where the fresh agave in a tequila brand is coming from.
Agave grown in the highlands is sweeter than that grown in the lowlands, which is earthier and more herbal. Both products are excellent for producing artisanal tequila. The subtle differences in flavor can be compared to the differences in wine grapes from different regions.
Artisan Tequila
Artisan tequila has a touch of something special that basic brands don’t provide. The clear notes of agave in Fortaleza Tequila or the hints of spice and white chocolate in Tapatio Blanco are two intriguing examples of the hand-picked brands you can get when you buy tequila from Curiada.
While craft tequila is revered for subtle flavors and often served as a sipping liquor, don’t let it sit on the shelf for special occasions only. Just as a fine bottle of craft whiskey can enhance your enjoyment of a classic Old-Fashioned, a superior tequila will also take your Paloma from good to fantastic. So, when you order a handle of tequila you love, you can drink it alone or elevate the cocktails you love.
Rare Tequila Bottles
Many rare tequilas are made in such small batches that not many bottles make it onto the open market, and they are crafted using unique techniques that many distillers don’t have the patience, resources, or knowledge to apply.
Rare tequila brands are also known for their attention to detail. Sourcing rare tequila is a challenge. Any rare tequilas featured below are likely available in extremely limited quantities, and you can usually only buy these brands of tequila online.
Clase Azul Reposado Tequila is one that many people enjoy gifting. Each ceramic bottle of Clase Azul Reposado is hand-sculpted and painted by local artisans. The beauty of the presentation mirrors the delicious taste of the inside.
Clase Azul Reposado is considered one of the most premium sipping tequilas in the world. It is both sweet and woodsy with notes of caramel, and it has a rich amber color that’s as lovely to sip as the handmade vessel it is poured from. It’s unusual to find this type of rare tequila for sale online, but at Curiada, you can expect the unexpected.
