All the varieties T1 Tequila Uno are made from 100% mature Agave Azul grown in the Mexican Highlands, which tend to produce plants with higher concentrations of natural sugar. "I wanted to make a tequila using traditional methods, with mature agave and no additives," says Master Distiller Germán Gonzalez, who personally inspects each agave plant before it is harvested.

In the agave fields, González looks for what he calls a brown ring that forms around the center of the plant or piña,which is an indication that the agave is mature, much the way brown spots on a banana indicate ripeness. After harvest, Gonzalez then oversees each step of the production process at the Tequilera distillery, in the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, where he slow-roasts the specially picked agave in autoclave ovens for 20 hours. But its during the distillation process that González reveals the hand of an artist.
