This spirit coats your mouth with dry spices, dates, figs, the buttery aroma of orange blossoms, flowers and copper notes straight from the still. These flavors, beginning in the mid and upper palette, distinguish the plants used, the natural fields they come from and the valley surrounding them. The approachable, subtle presence of alcohol is surprising, given the 80 proof. The finish is dry, elegant, and complex; reminiscent of jasmine and lime peel. Once the glass is empty, smell the strong cooked agave and butter scents left.

Siembra Valles Ancestral is a project conceived of a love of history and a desire to know tequila from its roots. To celebrate tequilas true identity and to fulfill that undying curiosity of what our past tasted like, Siembra Valles Ancestral embraces abandoned ancestral methods, such as the use of earthen pit ovens, hand-maceration, fermentation with bagasse in oak and brick, distillation in pine and copper, and the use of naturally, bat-pollinated agave.
With agave untouched by machine, Siembra Valles Ancestral boasts the complexity of nature’s flavors and the skills of our tequilero ancestry. We are proud to present you with a tequila that contains terroir from the past and a glance into our history. In an unprecedented collaboration of master mezcaleros and tequileros, the past is now present and the future will now be tradition.
