| Quita Penas Plata 100% - Old Bottle |
My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: Only one area of the world produces the
exceptional Weber blue agave plant, used exclusively in the production of this tequila,
the Highlands region of Penjamo.
This is a tequila made with time, patience, and tradition resulting in a superb product.
Other Info: From what I understand about Quita Penas, the tequila was originally
100% but later bottles were produced as a mixto but looked almost identical. Quita
Penas has now reverted back to being a 100% product which I am always glad to
hear. The bottle pictured above is one of the original 100% Agave bottles.
The book Tequila: A Traditional Art of Mexico, edited by Alberto Ruy-Sanchez and
Margarita de Orellana, provides the following information about Quita Penas: "Tequila
is said to quitar las penas, that is, take away your worries - or at least help you forget
them. Quita Penas is produced in Penjamo, Guanajuato, at the legendary Hacienda
Corralejo - a place worth visiting not only to see how this tequila is manufactured but
also to discover a part of Mexican history."
