In 2012 Avion Silver was voted “World’s Best Tasting Tequila” and “Best Unaged White Spirit” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition beating out all vodkas gins white rums and other tequilas. The unique history that led to this and other accolades began in the small town of Jesus Maria in Jalisco Mexico. Avion Tequila is the brainchild of Ken Austin longtime tequila aficionado and entrepreneur. Austin traversed Mexicos Highlands region in search of the most coveted agave before finally encountering the Lopez family fifth-generation agave growers located in Jesus Maria and falling in love with their rich agave. Together they honed their tequila-making skills blending old-school techniques with newer methodologies and always ensuring that no corners were cut along the way. Grown at 7000 feet above sea level each Avion agave takes between seven and ten years to fully grow. Once mature the agaves are harvested and roasted in brick ovens for 72 hours which brings out the naturally sweet flavors of the plant. Avion is twice-distilled with the heads and tails of the resulting distillate being removed to focus on the heart this labor-intensive process means that up to 30% more agaves are used in making Avion than in other ultra-premium tequilas. Once the distilling is complete Avion is slow-filtered to showcase the hard work and high-quality artisan ingredients that have gone into making the tequila. To earn the distinction reposado tequilas must aged for a minimum of two months and most reposado tequilas are aged for only that long. Avion Reposado Tequila however is aged for six months three times the requirement and as a result has a light amber color along with an aroma of fire-roasted agaves and rosemary.
