JALISCO, MEXICO
ABOUT
Founded by long-time agave cultivator and distiller David Ravandi, 123 Organic Tequila is an artisan producer of certified organic tequilas made from estate-grown lowland agaves northeast of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. Ten-year-old, slowly ripened agaves are cooked for two days in traditional stone ovens to concentrate flavor, then double-distilled using a small-batch process. The distillery’s philosophy shines in the liquid itself: A paradigmatic expression of pure agave flavor.
BRANDS AVAILABLE
123 ORGANIC BLANCO (UNO)
This unaged “mother spirit” tequila boasts clean, powerful aromas of fresh agave and lemon peel, black pepper, and minerals. Silky smooth, it finishes long with a mildly sweet kick. Simple, organic cocktails or relaxed sipping best expresses this Blanco tequila’s quality and purity.
type: Tequila | proof:80
123 ORGANIC REPOSADO (DOS)
Aged for six months in white oak barrels, 123 Organic Tequila Reposado (Dos) gains a pale color that hints at its complexity and versatility. A subtle agave scent greets the nose, but quickly gives way to flavors of salted caramel, crème brûlée, and toffee. These
flavors deepen as they approach a minty, anise finish.
type: Tequila | proof:80
123 ORGANIC AÑEJO (TRES)
Aged for 18 months in white oak barrels, 123 Organic Tequila Añejo (Tres) emerges with a prominent woody character and deep golden hue. It initially sends heady notes of tannin and wood oil to the nose, yet the aromas mellow in the glass, giving way to rich caramel and chocolate elements.
type: Tequila | proof:80
123 ORGANIC EXTRA AÑEJO (DIABLITO)
This rich, aged tequila was originally created for Ravandi’s personal collection, and in 2014, he released 1,000 bottles. Since then, it has become a limited, annual release of only 2,500 bottles. Derived from higher-elevation agave and aged for 40 months in new French Limousin oak barrels, this “little devil” of a tequila boasts a rich, creamy body that greets the nose with vanilla and black pepper scents. Flavors of vanilla, spices, and roasted agave then settle in before a tart, citrusy, long-lasting finish hints at the tequila’s complexity and easy-drinking nature.
type: Tequila | proof:100
