Soft agave nose; silky and elegant with fresh agave earthiness and finesse. This is a refined, highstyle blanco, with nuanced hints of vanilla and soft spice. It’s both long and beautifully balanced.
Inspired by the incredible things happening around them in architecture, design and music, Mexico City natives Danny Schneeweiss and Moy Guindi decided to create a tequila that united the tequila tradition of Mexico with the vibrant creativity of Mexico City. To realize their vision, they sought out Pedro Juarez, a Master Distiller who previously worked for one of the largest tequila companies in the world. Frustrated by repeated pressure to cut costs rather than to make great tequila, he seized the opportunity to return to the true art of distilling tequila at Milagro.
Pedro began with the agave itself, insisting on using only the remarkable Jalisco
Highlands blue agave, which is sweeter, more fruity and aromatic. To extract all the nuances of this precious agave flavor, Pedro employed a centuries old cooking method — using traditional, hand-built, brick ovens to slow roast his agave piñas for a full 36 hours.
Pedro’s next step was something new. Most tequilas are distilled using just one kind of still. But for Milagro, he chose to use two completely different types — first, a pot still, which retains all of the incredible nuances of agave flavor. Then, a column still, to impart the kind of exquisite smoothness that compares to the finest white spirits in the world. Milagro is the rare tequila that unabashedly brings forward the fresh, mouthwatering taste of the highlands agave with consummate, world-class smoothness.
This marriage of agave flavor and smoothness is what truly makes Milagro shine
Tequila Blanco, or ‘white Tequila’, is also known as Tequila Plata, or ‘silver Tequila’. Its clear color is the result of being bottled immediately after distillation instead of being aged in oak barrels like Tequila Reposado or Anejo. Because of their youth and lack of barrel influence, Blanco Tequilas are thought to offer the purest expression of blue agave available, with notes of citrus and pepper. However, they can also be quite forceful and energetic on the palate without the moderating influence of time and wood.
