Tequila Curado Espadin: This delicious white tequila is made with only locally harvested agave, and then produced in a traditional way. The decoration of the bottle reflects the region where the agave was harvested, with the very representative jaguar, which represents the state of Oaxaca.
To make Curado, we used a white Tequila from the Altos de Jalisco as a canvas, then infused the liquid with pieces of cooked Agave. At first the infusions only used Blue Agave from the state of Jalisco, but the project soon evolved to include other Agave varieties from other regions of Mexico. We want to build bridges, not walls.
Curado embodies the union of three families: Estes, Camarena and Vantguard. The inspiration for creating the brand originally came from two factors. The first influence came from traditional Mexican Curados, which is the name given to Pulques infused with natural flavors (pineapple, coconut, coffee beans, etc.). The second part of our inspiration came from observing the maceration of various spirits by bartenders around the world, using various spices, herbs and fruits. The result was Curado, the first tequila infused with cooked agave.
The idea that other Agave varieties could be represented in this evolved spirit, providing variety and complexity of flavor while respecting the tequila denomination, is what sets us apart.
