Tequila Xoloitzcuintle Plata Fuerte "Valles"

Tequila Xoloitzcuintle Plata Fuerte “Valles” is a bold, still-strength blanco crafted from 100% blue Weber agave harvested in the lowlands of Jalisco. The agaves are cooked in a low-pressure autoclave, crushed with a roller mill, and fermented in stainless steel tanks with open-air exposure and agave fibers, creating a deeply expressive profile. Distillation is carried out twice in stainless pot stills with copper coils, after which the tequila rests briefly in stainless steel before bottling. At 50.5% ABV, it offers a powerful yet clean character that reflects its artisanal production. Only 1,000 bottles were produced, making it a limited and highly distinctive release. The spirit is marked by a strong presence of cooked agave, layered herbal and vegetal notes, hints of licorice and citrus, and a peppery, mineral edge that lingers on the finish.

Xoloitzcuintle Tequila is a brand deeply rooted in Mexican heritage, inspired by the ancient Aztec symbol of the Xoloitzcuintli dog, considered a sacred guide and protector. The name itself carries this mythology—“Xolo” referring to fire and lightning, and “itzcuintle” meaning dog in Nahuatl. The brand embodies this spiritual and cultural connection, presenting tequila not just as a drink but as a guardian of tradition and spirit.

Each bottle is crafted with care and symbolism. The glass is made in Mexico City, and the labels are produced from agave fibers, the very plant that gives life to the tequila itself. Colors on the labels represent different values and stages of life: blue for wisdom, orange for heroism, red for strength, and purple for mystery. This artistic presentation is matched by an artisanal approach to production.

Xoloitzcuintle is produced in Jalisco, using 100% blue Weber agave grown in the region. The brand favors high-proof expressions, small-batch methods, and meticulous craft. From its bold Plata releases to its refined aged tequilas, each expression is created to highlight both the raw energy of agave and the elegance that comes from careful distillation and aging.

The range covers every stage of tequila, from the crisp and mineral-driven Blanco to the smooth and complex Reposado and Añejo, culminating in the Extra Añejo aged for years to achieve depth and richness. Every bottle reflects a balance of tradition, culture, and artistry, designed for those who want tequila that tells a story as much as it delivers flavor.
