“Coa Tequila is carefully grown in the rich, red clay and expertly harvested in the Los Altos region of Mexico. Los Altos Weber Blue Agaves are famous for being larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste.”

This Friday we will be tasting the silver and reposado. Cheers!

“There are more than 300 million Weber Blue Agave plants skillfully harvested for tequila every year by Mexico’s agave farmers, or jimadors. However, there could be no tequila without the Coa de Jima. The Coa is an ancient tool used to chop off the leaves of the agave for the core, or pina, to be made into Tequila. It is a simple tool, like a machete, whose efficiency has withstood the test of time. No machine can do what the Coa does; allowing the Agave plant to be turned into Tequila, one of the only handcrafted spirits left on the market today.”

Baccoo Rums

Baccoo is the wish granting, trickster spirit of the Caribbean. Baccoo is comparable to the genie in a lamp or leprechaun mythos/stories found all around the world, except he’ll keep granting wishes as long as you keep him happy with bananas and milk.

We can’t help you with the bananas, but we can help by setting you up with a lovely 5/8 year rum made with pure crushed cane sugar, and NOT molasses. Then finished after distillation in ex-bourbon barrels which give it an extra caramel, caramel and toffee sort of kick. A spirit that’s well rounded and elevated enough to be enjoyed neat, and would serve to improve any cocktail you might throw it into.
