Montagave Blanco 'Héritage' (Lot 237) is our second exploration release under the 'Héritage' label and offers a unique bottling of 1422 bottles that will never be replicated. We selected 5 of our favorite Grand Cru Bordeaux barrels from Lot 172 to be used in this 2nd fill edition.
A wine barrel imparts a livelier flavor profile than a bourbon barrel, bringing sweetness and distinctively rich fruit and floral notes. With up to 50% of these flavors remaining after our 1st fill, we decided to double the time in barrel for Lot 237.
"New make" Cascahuín Blanco entered the barrel at 45% alc/vol and was left for 57 days. Bottled at 41% alc/vol, the result is a beautiful expression from NOM 1123, with a touch more Cascahuín distillery character and a touch less flavor and color influence from the Bordeaux wine barrel. This limited bottling offers a unique experience for the Tequila enthusiast and encapsulates the very spirit of craftsmanship, collaboration, and innovation of Montagave.
