Volans Añejo Tequila
Volans Tequila is born in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, at El Pandillo Distillery – NOM 1579. Our Master Distiller, Felipe Camarena is a legend in the tequila business; his family has been growing agave since the 1880’s & distilling for four generations.
El Pandillo not only makes the best tequila in the world but is one of the most sustainable distilleries. Innovations include mosto warming tanks, eco-farming practices, rooftop rain collection, vinaza treatment, turn solid waste into mulch, and not a drop of water is wasted. Every agave is harvested at the peak of maturity, then we cut the cogollo or shoot, and finally rinse the agaves; this reduces bitterness to our distillate. We then use the remains as fertilizer.
Volans Tequila is made using an equal blend of three sources of water; spring, rain, & deep well. The roof of the distillery is a giant rainwater collection system that lets us harvest the rain. The nearby spring and a well that’s over 450 feet deep allows us to give our tequila the softness of the rain and the minerals and flavor of the deep-earth well water and spring water.
Slow and low is the name of the game with Volans Tequila. We cook our fully mature Blue Agave for 22 hours at 94 degrees, then let them cool for another 24-36 hours. It takes another 2-3 days to crush the cooked agaves and then the Mosto ferments in open air tanks for another 5 days. 100% natural. Water, Agave, Yeast, Period. No added glycerine, flavors, colors, aromas, or any other chemicals.
Volans Añejo was born from a deep dive into the art of barrel aging. Building on our successful single-barrel reposado program, we experimented with various barrels from world-class cooperages, bourbons, and wineries to create something extraordinary. Nearly two years ago, we embarked on a quest to explore the impact of different barrels and the spirits they once held. This journey took nearly a year to find and select the perfect combination of barrels. The final blend of our new Volans Añejo consists of 70% American oak, 20% German oak, and 10% French oak barrels.
At Volans Tequila, our journey has always been about exploration, passion, and commitment to crafting exceptional tequila that captures the spirit of our Mexican heritage. Today, we are excited to introduce our latest expression, Volans Añejo Tequila. This unique and limited edition of just 2,700 bottles is aged for one year and twelve days in freshly dumped and first-filled American, French, and German oak barrels.
