'La Serpiente Emplumada' translates to 'The Feathered Serpent,' and the brand is inspired by the legendary Aztec deity Quetzalcóatl. This deity is an icon of transformation, wisdom, and the bringer of life, which the tequila aims to embody through its quality and spirit.
The tequila is produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, which is the heartland of authentic tequila production. It is crafted using 100% Blue Weber Agave, grown in the lowlands of the Tequila Valley.
La Serpiente Emplumada offers a superb range of tequilas, each crafted to provide a distinct experience. The collection begins with their Blanco (Premium), an unaged spirit that is smooth, fruity, and perfect for sipping or mixing. For those seeking more intensity, the Blanco 55 is an overproof expression, nuanced and floral, making it ideal for well-structured cocktails. Moving into aged spirits, the Reposado matures for at least six months in American white oak barrels, developing a creamy, rich flavour. Their acclaimed Añejo is aged for a minimum of 13 months, gaining delicate hints of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and toasted bread. Finally, for the ultimate experience, the Extra Añejo is an ultra-aged spirit, designed to be savoured as a true sipping tequila.
The process uses a blend of Blue Weber Agaves cooked in both traditional stone ovens and autoclaves. The juices are slowly fermented and then undergo a double distillation process in stainless steel pot stills to ensure a complex and premium flavour profile.
Yes, the brand has received multiple accolades for its range. Notably, the Añejo won the World's Best Tequila at the 2017 World Tequila Awards, and the Blanco 55 was awarded a Double Gold Medal and was a finalist for Best in Class at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
