El Gran Legado De Vida Reposado Tequila is a remarkable tequila that has been generating quite the buzz. It is produced at the Cascahuin distillery (NOM 1123) and is made using mature agaves grown in Michoacán. The agaves are cooked via steam injection in Cascahuin’s traditional stone ovens for 3 days and then given an extra day to cool down before being crushed on the distillery’s roller mill. The tequila undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks before the double distillation begins. The first distillation happens on Cascahuin’s stainless steel alembic still with a copper coil and the second distillation takes place on the copper alembic with copper coil which brings the Tequila up to 55% abv. After proofing with the deep well water on site, the Tequila takes the critical time to stabilize for 15-30 days in stainless before being placed into American Oak, ex Bourbon Sherry Cask and French Oak ex Cognac Martell VSOP single fill barrels and left to age for 120 days. The bottling occurs after a 30-day stabilization in stainless steel tanks, brought to 40% abv, then bottled and labeled by hand.
