We stumbled upon a tequila micro-distillery right next to
the Pacific Ocean, on the grounds of Restaurant Oscar’s, while we were just
bopping around Puerto Vallarta. Blue
agave plants and silver barrels beckoned us with the promise of a chance to try
Jalisco’s specialty, tequila.
This is how they describe it on their website:
“Embark on a sensory adventure with our Mexican Distilled
Spirits Tasting experience, where tradition, craftsmanship, and flavor converge
in a symphony of delightful notes. Explore the rich cultural heritage of Puerto
Vallarta through an expertly curated selection of premium distilled spirits
that capture the essence of this vibrant country. Indulge in an unforgettable
journey through the heart and soul of Puerto Vallarta in Mexico with our
Mexican Distilled Spirits Tasting.”
We got a very thorough tour and tasting experience from a
guide whose name Lisa unfortunately forgot. After giving us a quick history of
how tequila used to be made and explaining how it’s distilled now, our guide
even taught us how to drink it.
There were more types of tequila than we have seen anywhere
else, including passion fruit, kiwi, coffee, vanilla, guanabana, and even one
he described as “The Baby Maker” because it makes you “feel like a donkey from
the waist down.”
He was so funny, we walked away with an expensive bottle in
our hands and stupid smiles on our faces.
