Tequila Mi Campo Blanco and Reposado, both 40% ABV, is currently available in 10 markets with a MSRP of $24.99 /750ml. It will be rolled out nationally, Mi Campo Spirits, the importer, says.
Instead of the common method of crushing the cooked pinas with a tahona stone, a unique method is used. The liquid is then fermented for three to five days in open stainless-steel tanks allowing aromatics from the local mango and citrus trees to influence the flavor. Finally, it is rested in French oak Napa Valley wine barrels, imparting a rich and smooth finish. The time in the barrels imparts a unique complexity typically not found in any other tequila.
Releasing aromas of fresh coconut, almonds, sweet orange and green apple layered over hints of elegant vanilla, Tequila Mi CAMPO Blanco is rested in Chardonnay barrels for three weeks and tastes of orange blossom tea with underscores of honey balanced with white pepper notes.
Tequila Mi CAMPO Reposado features aromas of ripe banana and chocolate layered over fragrances of vanilla, cinnamon and clove. Rested in a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir barrels for three months, this unique expression tastes of honey maple, white chocolate, pepper with a toasted oak finish.
