About this listen

This episode traces how additive-free tequila earns its taste, step by step, from plant to bottle. We’ll move through the quiet decisions that shape sweetness, aroma, texture, and finish—how Blue Weber agave is grown and harvested, how cooking unlocks fermentable sugars and cooked-agave character, and how crushing sets the stage for what yeast can do. From there, fermentation builds personality, distillation refines it through careful cuts, and aging (when used) lets wood and time soften or transform the spirit without shortcuts. Finally, bottling choices like proof, water, and filtration decide how much of that true character reaches your glass.
