The Story of Batch Ceniza

When security cameras alerted the Santanera team to a wildfire racing through the El Llano Grande field, they raced to harvest the seven-year-old agave before it hardened from the heat. Most of the plants survived, and the scorched agave became the heart of this annual organic release, named Ceniza, meaning “ash.” It was made at Tres Mujeres (NOM 1466) in Amatitán, Jalisco, by Maestro Tequilero Sergio Cruz with Pablo Lara G. and senior distiller Manuel Rivera. The agave was steam-cooked in a brick and volcanic stone oven, roller-milled, spontaneously fermented 11 days in open-air tanks, distilled two to three times in stainless steel pot stills, and rested 196 days in glass.
