Cincoro Blanco Tequila
A special project from basketball legend, billionaire, and owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Michael Jordan, Lakers co-owner Jeanie Buss, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens and Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck and Emilia Fazzalari, Cincoro Tequila is made from a celebrated blend of both valley, and highland agaves. The bottle and packaging are a commissioned piece from Mark Smith, Vice President of Innovation Special Projects at Nike, while the name “Cincoro” comes from a blending of two Spanish words, “cinco” and “oro.” The portmanteau pays homage to the five founding partners and their pursuit to create the gold standard in Tequila. Cincoro Tequilas stand apart as a truly unique creation, most tequilas are made from just one region, Cincoro however is meticulously crafted using Weber blue agave sourced from both the highland and lowland regions. What sets Cincoro apart is the careful separation of the agave, which is cooked and distilled separately before being expertly blended to create a singular, exceptional tequila. Produced at NOM 1438, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila in Tequila, Jalisco. Cincoro Blanco Tequila is crystal clear, the aroma is slightly sweet, with light vanilla and notes of fresh and cooked agave. The palate is incredibly smooth and complex, vanilla notes and citrus fruits, lemon, lime and grapefruit are prominent. The finish has more of the citrus and agave notes with a light peppery twist and a sweet finish.

With this in mind, 818 Tequila places great emphasis on sourcing their agaves responsibly and ensuring the production process is environmentally friendly. The journey of 818 Tequila begins with the skilled jimadores, local agave farmers from the Tequila region. These experts identify the optimal conditions for growing agaves in the Los Valles region, patiently waiting for at least 7 years until the agaves reach peak maturity. Once harvested, the agaves undergo a slow cooking process that lasts for over 30 hours. Large stone Tahonas, weighing 800 kilograms each, are then utilized to crush the cooked agaves. This age-old technique allows for the extraction and collection of the juice, preserving the authenticity and tradition of tequila production. The extracted juice, known as "mosto," then goes through a natural fermentation process. Unique wood and stainless steel tanks are utilized, and the fermentation is enriched by using leftover agave fibers from the tahonas. Native yeast is added to enhance the aromatic expression, resulting in a deeper and more nuanced flavor profile. The tequila is distilled in hand-built copper alembic pot stills of the highest quality. It undergoes a double distillation process, carefully monitoring the alcohol volume to achieve the desired smoothness that 818 Tequila is known for. To further enhance the character of the tequila, it is aged in superior oak barrels. The Reposado and Añejo expressions are aged in both American and French oak, allowing for a harmonious fusion of flavors. Expert blending techniques ensure that each bottle of 818 Tequila embodies the iconic taste that the brand is celebrated for - smooth, versatile and sippable. 818 Tequila Reposado 700ml is a testament to the brand's commitment to crafting exceptional tequila.
