MEXICO CITY, November 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Olmeca last night held its International Launch for Olmeca Altos 100%
Agave Tequila, at the exclusive Central London venue Paramount. This unique
new Tequila has been created by Top International Bartenders Henry Besant and
Dre Masso, alongside Maestro Tequilero Jesus Hernandez, offering incomparable
appeal to the international bartender community, whilst inviting an urban and
quality-conscious consumer.
The creators have shared their seasoned knowledge, mutual passion for
Tequila, and attention to quality and detail to produce a fine, high quality
and unique liquid.
Authentically produced Olmeca Altos is distilled at Olmeca's own
Destileria Colonial de Jalisco in the heart of Los Altos in western-central
Mexico. Los Altos is a high altitude region, known for its mineral-rich
volcanic soil and changeable climate, which, combined, provide excellent
conditions for the blue Agave plant -- our principal ingredient.
Olmeca Altos' unrivalled brand uniqueness is further represented by its
Tahona production process. Tahona, a 500-year-old process exclusive to the
Olmeca brand, uses a giant volcanic millstone to crush the cooked Agave pinas
and expose the juice and fibre from the plant. A part of the Tahona Liquid
produced during this process is then added to Olmeca Altos' fermentation and
distillation process to enhance the sweet, citric taste and aroma.
Available in either Reposado or Blanco, Olmeca Altos' authenticity and
high quality objects to continue the global success of the Olmeca brand. And
with the addition of Olmeca Altos, Pernod Ricard now houses a complete
portfolio of high quality, premium Tequila, alongside Olmeca and Olmeca
Tezon.
Following last night's launch, Olmeca Altos will immediately become
available to the UK and other key European markets, with additional global
markets expected to follow in the coming New Year.
