Santera Tequila is a brand of tequila made from blue agave which is produced and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico. [1]
The agave for Santera Tequila is grown in the volcanic soil of the dormant Volcán de Tequila. [2] It is created by distiller Sebastian Melendrez. [3] The tequila is made with highland agave containing 21 degrees brix (sugar content) and the pinas are roasted for up to 54 hours in hornos (brick ovens). [4]
After distillation, Santera Tequila undergoes a proprietary filtration process for each interpretation. [5] The Blanco is unaged, the Reposado is aged for seven months, and the Añejo is aged for sixteen months in American oak barrels. [6] All three tequilas are kosher-certified. [7]
Santera Spirits, LLC. was founded in 2012. [8]
