Mijenta Releases Maestra Selection No. 2 Tequila

Tequila brand Mijenta just released its second expression in the brand’s Maestra Selection series.

“Mexico is a country of immense beauty, both culturally and naturally, and this tequila offered an opportunity to celebrate both of those aspects,” Mijenta’s Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero said in a news release. “Beginning my career in wine, I’ve been fascinated by terroir, and I was amazed to see how different the taste profiles are for each state’s agaves as they are shaped by the local environmental conditions. From the caramel and spice of Guanajuato, to the citrus and red fruit of Michoacan, to the preserved fruits, herbs and almond of Nayarit, to the mint, fresh grass, sage and spices of Tamaulipas, to the herbal and citrus notes of Jalisco, this tequila is crafted to allow the unique personalities of each state to shine through in every sip.”

Sourced from single estates in each of the five Mexican territories, the agaves for this release were distilled separately and then blended to create the final profile, according to the brand. Bottled at 40% ABV, this expression features aromas of caramelized coconut, vanilla, cooked agave, fruity notes such as caramelized cherry and roasted pineapple, citrus hints of fresh lemon and spices including cinnamon, tonka pepper, nutmeg and cardamom.

To commemorate the release, Mexico City-based artist Sophia Castellanos created a label and box celebrating each state in the Denomination of Origin, according to the brand, embodied by ‘spirit animals’ representing each state’s culture and history. The five-sided bottle also pays homage to the five states from which the agaves for the expression were sourced.

Priced at $74.99 (750-ml.), the limited bottling of Mijenta’s Maestra Selection No. 2 is now available to order at www.mijenta-tequila.com and can also be found at select retailers across the U.S.
