About Flecha Azul Tequila
Flecha Azul Tequila: A Taste of Mexican Heritage
Flecha Azul, meaning “Blue Arrow” in Spanish, is an ultra-premium tequila brand launched in 2020 by friends Aron Marquez and Abraham Ancer. Their aim was to create a tequila that honored their Mexican heritage while offering exceptional quality and taste.
Here’s what sets Flecha Azul apart:
- Traditional Methods: They source 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the designated Tequila region of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is fully matured before harvesting, and traditional Tahona stone mills extract the juice for fermentation.
- Natural Ingredients: Flecha Azul uses naturally-sourced volcanic water in the distillation process, contributing to the tequila’s unique character.
- Distinct Expressions: They offer a range of expressions to suit different preferences:
- Blanco: Un aged, offering agave flavors with hints of smoke and citrus.
- Reposado: Aged for 6 months in ex-bourbon barrels, imparting notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice.
- Añejo: Aged for 3 years in American oak barrels, developing a smooth, complex flavor with hints of oak, butterscotch, and dried fruit.
- Cristalino: A unique ultra-luxury tequila that undergoes charcoal filtration for exceptional smoothness while retaining agave character.
- Awards and Recognition: Flecha Azul has received acclaim for its quality, including a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal at the Tequila Awards.
Where to Find It: Flecha Azul is available online and at select liquor stores around the world. Pricing typically ranges from $40 to $100 depending on the expression.
