FROM OUR FIELDS ...

The Bad Stuff™ Extra Añejo Tequila Is Crafted From The Finest Estates Grown Tequilana Weber Blue Agave.

HARVESTING

It all starts with the Agave, grown in the Golden Triangle of Tequila, at roughly 7,000 feet elevation.  Careful patient harvesting of only mature agave leads to premium flavor

HARVESTED AT MATURITY

Our agave is hand selected by our Jimador, then slow baked in traditional steam ovens until they reach a rich caramelization.

FINAL DISTILLATION COMPLETED

IN A COPPER ALEMBIC

The rich agave nectar is fermented with a combination of pure artesian water from our onsite wells. We then double distill this rich fermented mosto, first in stainless alembics, with the final distillation being completed in a copper alembic (Pot Still).

DISTILLATION

We don’t take shortcuts in our distillation. Premium highland agave plants are harvested at maturity, Our copper Alembic tank gently completes our second distillation to prepare The Bad Stuff to rest in New French Oak. Salud.

AGED 3 YEARS IN 

VIRGIN FRENCH OAK BARRELS

Our rich peppery, spice ladened Blanco is then poured into our Virgin French Oak barrels and allowed to repose for a minimum of three years.

BOTTLES & LABORATORY

We come from the earth, and return to it. Our bottles are handmade from recycled glass. Our bottles carry my precious dream, the long awaited Bad Stuff Tequila.  Salud!

BOTTLE MAKERS

Loading gobs of molten glass into molds through a very careful funnel process. The baffle then begins the settleblow process to allow compressed air into the mold, forming the neck and container finish.

BOTTLING

THE BAD STUFF

From the cooling plate the glass bottle is then moved to the bottling line, then packed and prepared for delivery
