Description
Chamucos is a Highland tequila brand, conceived in1992 by an Oscar-nominated Mexican film director, Antonio Urrutia, and his close friend, a hand-blown glass bottle artist, Cesar Hernandez. Chamucos dark, shadowy, creatures who appear in dreams and only visit briefly at night dance on the label of the bottle, both of which are made with recycled materials. The 100% agave tequila is made with organic Los Altos agave, distilled in a custom stainless steel alembic still.
The Diablo bottling sees the tequila bottled at 55% abv, and all that extra proof lends itself to oodles more complexity. Agave forward, with a splendid balance of vegetal, herbal, and fruity notes. Lemon peel, charcoal grilled meats, cilantro, and a hint of caramel sweetness play together beautifully for a great blanco sipper.
