Tequila Tahona Mexa

$69.99
Mexa Tequila Tahona is a collaborative project with Marco Jauregui, a fourth-generation tequila producer whose ancestors started farming agaves in the lowlands of Jalisco in the early 19005. The project involves using a traditional tahona, to crush the agave and extract the juice. The use of the tahona method is a rare and traditional practice that results in tequila with a unique flavor profile that sets it apart from other tequilas.
