Tres Organic Añejo Tequila

About 123 Tequila

Ancient Aztec artifacts recount the story of Mayahuel, a Sun God that dwelled in the sky and ultimately eloped with a Snake God named Quetzacoatl. In response to their marriage, demons chased the couple until they were able to capture and kill Mayahuel. Heartbroken, Quetzacoatl buried Mayahuel where she fell, and vowed to stand vigil and protect her soul.

Today, each bottle of 123 Organic Tequila is adorned with a snake that serves as a symbol of protection both for the sacred field where Mayahuel was laid to rest by her lover and the blue weber agave plants that eventually sprang forth there. These plants, which are matured in a rich, alluvial soil, are used to craft 123 Tequila.

The tequila is made exclusively from blue Weber agave plants which are nearly a decade old and harvested by expert jimadores. Once the agave have been harvested, the hearts of the agave plant — the piñas — are slowly cooked in stone ovens for nearly two days. These ovens contribute a slightly smoky flavor profile to the piñas, which are then pressed and fermented using natural airborne yeasts. The fermented nectar is then twice distilled through a copper still.
