Calle 23 Tequila is the result of a journey started back in 2003 by master distiller Sophie Decobecq, whose patience and passion drove her to obtain a tequila that could satisfy first of all, her own palate and then the possible potential aficionados. Calle 23 is a 100% pure agave tequila produced in Zapotlanejo, Jalisco, from fully mature blue agaves harvested from the 'Los Altos de Jalisco' area (the Highlands area) in Jalisco, Central Mexico. Calle 23 Tequila is double distilled in pot stills with copper streamer - the first distillation produces a low alcohol spirit called 'ordinario' but the second distillation ends with a clear, colorless liquid of a higher alcohol content, 'El Tequila'. This then gets married with locally sourced pure spring water to reach 40% alc.vol and then and only then is a Calle 23 Tequila properly ready for handbottling.
