When Penca Azul made special edition bottles for the Blue Agave forum and their
friends there were another 20 cases worth of juice remaining. Being that Penca's 10th
anniversary was nearing they decided to come out with a limited quantity of these
bottles for the public in the California area.
The neck tag on another Penca bottle provides the following information about this
very respectable brand: "The quality of great tequila is based on the careful selection
of the best blue Agave plants.
Their long and spiky leaves known as "Penca Azul" protect the heart of the plant,
which weighs more than 80 pounds (40 kg) Their blue color and size reflects the result
of ten years of caring of the noble specie, which grows mainly in the Valley of Tequila
and the highlands of Jalisco.
The careful cooking, fermenting, and distilling of their juices gives birth to a superb
sipping Tequila.
The handcrafted small batch production tequila, has been aged in fine oak barrels for
more than two years to offer a smooth balance between the Agave's sweet fruitiness
and the oak's essences. Penca Azul "Reserva" is an Ultra Premium sipping Tequila.
