Description
Piedra y Agave is a dedicated authentic-production line from Tequilera de los Altos Casa Loy (NOM 1633), built specifically for connoisseurs who demand traditional methods free of diffuser shortcuts. The distillery draws from family-owned Los Altos agave fields, selecting piñas only at full maturity, then slow-cooks them in a traditional brick oven. Extraction follows via tahona — a stone wheel — with no water added, and fermentation runs seven days in open-air tanks with agave fibers intact using a proprietary local yeast strain that distinguishes this line from Casa Loy’s broader commercial range.
The Blanco is bottled at a bold 98 proof (49% ABV). It opens with sweet cooked agave and ripe tangerine on the nose, underscored by vanilla and a lift of green apple. The palate delivers that same rich agave sweetness alongside mild cinnamon and vanilla bean, closing on a clean, cooling spearmint finish that lingers without heat. Scored 89 out of 100 by Tequila Report.
A bottle for the serious agave collector or the curious drinker ready to taste what traditional production actually delivers — compare it side by side with any Los Altos blanco and the tahona difference is evident. Pairs well with other craft expressions at , including artisanal mezcal and estate-bottled tequilas from the highlands. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
