Siempre Releases Exclusivo-Vivo Tequila Made With Wild Fermentation
Limited to 9,000 bottles.
Siempre Tequila has just released its most artisanal tequila to date — Siempre Exclusivo-Vivo. Made in partnership with Sergio Cruz, one of Mexico’s most renowned Master Tequileros, and International Tequila Academy founder Adam Fodor, the tequila uses an old Hispanic-Peruvian production method of distilling the fermented aguamiel while the yeast is still living. Giving the “Vivo” to the tequila is the “mosto vivo” fermentation process compared to normal “mosto muerto” methods. This means each bottle collects less alcohol but contains more essence of the agave for a more complex profile.
Adding the artisanal aspect to this exclusive release is the use of wild fermentation where there is no added yeast but rather open tanks that let local bacterias compete for food and nutrients for another level of complexity. Limited to 9,000 bottles, the Siempre Tequila Exclusivo-Vivo is priced at $129.99 USD and can be found over at the Exclusivo‘s dedicated page.
