A mechanical donkey named Pepe is involved.
Santaleza is the collaborative effort of Chopin Imports, known for its eponymous vodka brand, and the Lopez-Villareal family. The tequila is produced at the Bonanza distillery, or Destiladora Bonanza . No diffusers or additives are used during the process, according to the brand, something that is increasingly important to today’s hyperaware tequila drinker.
So about that mechanical donkey… After being harvested and cooked in a masonry oven for 72 hours, the agave pinas are crushed by a 135-year-old tahona, or large volcanic stone, that is pulled by a metal beast christened Pepe with a fake donkey head.
at the El Pandillo distillery. Next, the crushed agave is put into a Roble wood vat for fermentation, and finally distilled twice in copper alembic stills. The tequila is bottled at 80 proof.There are currently two Santaleza expressions available—an unaged blanco and a reposado that has been matured for at least four months in American oak.
These two expressions are rolling out in 10 states to start, with the blanco priced at $59.99 and the reposado at $69.99. An anejo will be released this year as well, and according to the brand there are other agave distillates from around Mexico that don’t fall into the tequila category on the horizon as well. It sounds like Pepe’s work will not be over anytime soon.
