Corralejo Margarita Book 3rd Edition
The Grand finale of the event coincides with the presentation of the Corralejo Margarita Collection 3rd edition. This hand book will feature winning cocktail recipes from participating bartenders in addition to providing extensive information about Tequila.
A handy tool for any tequila enthusiast, the complementary hand book will be circulated amongst guests, hotels, restaurants throughout Asia.
About Corralejo 100% Agave Tequila:
Tequila Corralejo has been handcrafted by highly skilled artisans at the world famous Hacienda Corralejo, founded in 1755. The master distillers have reached the pinnacle of their craft and will settle for nothing less than perfection. The agave plants that are used are carefully cultivated and hand harvested. The tequila is then distilled in Spanish copper stills and stored in specially imported oak barrels, giving it an incredibly smooth taste. Each barrel of Tequila Corralejo undergoes a thorough evaluation before it is bottled in attractive hand blown glass bottles.
Corralejo 100% Agave Tequila is available across major hotels and restaurants across India and through Delhi Duty Free in five variants:
Corralejo Blanco 100% Agave Tequila: Blanco is new unaged tequila taken straight from the alembic still. Made entirely from carefully selected agaves, many purists and tequila aficionados claim that Blanco Tequila is the best. Certainly there is no barrel ageing to soften or disguise the rich, powerful agave flavor
Corralejo Reposado 100% Agave Tequila: Reposado is most popular and has been awarded three Gold Medals in international competition in the past five years! Under Mexican law, Reposado ("reposed") tequila has to age in wood barrels for a minimum of two months. Most of the time six- month ageing is achieved for Corralejo Reposado. No doubt this is why Corralejo Reposado wins the most prestigious competitions.
Corralejo Triple Distilled 100% Agave Tequila: Using a double distillation method produces all fine tequilas. In the year 2000, Tequila Corralejo introduced a new type - Triple Distilled and gradually offered it to discerning consumers in International markets. If you are lucky enough to find a bottle you will be highly pleased with its soft yet rich agave taste. This unique Corralejo "Triple" is distilled first through a copper pot still, then a column still method and finally through the copper pot one more time. Simply put, Triple Distilled is superb tequila!
