What is Blue Agave Weber Cured Tequila?

The agave plant has existed on earth for approximately 12 million years.

First, pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican cultures found many uses for the plant:

Cooked pineapple as food.
Dry fibers for ropes, clothing or paper.
And, perhaps most importantly, fermented agave juice(pulque as it is known in Mexico) as the first alcoholic beverage of the American continent.

It is a miraculous plant, full of life, that takes long years to mature under the Mexican sun. Moreover, nourished by the minerals of the earth, plants absorb this energy, which becomes their vital essence.

Mexico is home to a large number of different liquors: tequila, mezcal, raicilla and many more. These distillates are all products created from this plant. All unique in their flavors and aromas, depending on the type of Agave used.

Cured Tequila Production Process

To make the Cured, we use a white Tequila from the Altos de Jalisco as a canvas, then we infuse the liquid with pieces of cooked Agave. At first the infusions only used Blue Agave from the state of Jalisco, but soon the project evolved to include other Agave varieties from other regions of Mexico. We want to build bridges, not walls.

The different versions of Tequila Curado are: Blue Weber from Arandas, Espadín from Oaxaca and Cupreata from Michoacán.

We have adopted an anthropological approach in our quest for knowledge, connecting with and learning from people with generations of wisdom and experience.

Each variety of Agave is cooked with the technique of each respective region and then taken to Jalisco. There we infuse it in the best 100% Blue Agave Tequila from the Altos de Jalisco region.

The proportion of agave to tequila varies in each expression depending on the type of agave received.

Not aged in barrels
No added sugars
No gimmicks

Curado embodies the union of three families: Estes, Camarena and Vantguard .

The inspiration to create the brand originally came from two factors. The first influence came from traditional Mexican curados, which is the name given to pulques infused with natural flavors (pineapple, coconut, coffee beans, etc.). The second part of our inspiration came from observing the maceration of various liquors by bartenders around the world, using various spices, herbs and fruits.

The result is Curado, the first Tequila infused with cooked agave.

The idea that other Agave varieties can be represented in this evolved spirit, providing variety and complexity of flavor, always respecting the tequila denomination, is what sets us apart.

Curado is an innovative product, full of subtle nuances, which continues to respect Mexican tradition and culture.

What do the animals on the bottles of Tequila Curado mean?

Each animal in the different expressions of Curado represents its land of origin; they all belong to the dream world of the Alebrijes.

Alebrijes are a modern form of art and expression by local Mexican artist Pedro Linares. He “saw” these animals taking him from the world of the living to the world of the dead and vice versa.

Often defined with characteristics that belong to other creatures (wings, tails, patterns and colors), Alebrijes are impossible animals that will take you to unexpected places… that’s Curado.
