Tequila Joven
Tequila Gran Sociedad // Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Founded in 2021, Tequila Gran Sociedad Joven is designed as a sipping tequila. It begins with blue Weber agave harvested from the Highlands of Jalisco (Los Altos). Notably, the distilling team is over 60% female including Master Distiller Yadira Hernández. Using ancestral methods, the team cooks the agaves in brick ovens and then crushes them with a tahona.
After fermentation and double distillation, the new-make spirit is rested in medium toasted American oak. To create the final product 70% blanco and 30% añejo are blended and bottled. US availability begins in NY, CA, FL, and online as of August 2022. (SRP $189).

Tequila JovenTypically only mixtos are used for this category where caramel-coloring can be added, but can also be bottlings where 100% blanco tequila is blended with a 100% reposado or añejo tequila.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the tequila has moderate amounts of wet stone, fresh green agave and fresh green herbal notes along with a touch of smoked chili pepper. It feels weighty on the tongue without being oily. Tastes lean more on the bitter side than the sweet side (not a negative thing), but there are some deeper notes of cooked agave in the background. There's a bit of toasted oak reflected in the taste as well. It has a decent length to the finish and is a solid sipper. Not for those looking for a dessert-style tequila, but blanco tequila fans will be pleased here. "
