Mt. Defiance agave spirits
Mt. Defiance Blue Agave Spirit
Mt. Defiance Blue Agave Spirit is made from 100% Blue Weber agave plants. Our agaves are grown in Mexico, on independent, often family owned fields. The agaves are processed immediately after harvest to create agave nectar that is then delivered to our distillery in Middleburg, Virginia. We ferment the nector in small batches, then twice distill in our copper pot still. The result is approachable yeast complex, perfect for sipping well chilled or mixed in your favorite cocktail.
Mt. Defiance Wild Agave Spirit
The story of Mt. Defiance “Wild” Agave Spirit begins in Mexico. Wild agaves grow in desert flatlands, arid hillsides, lush valleys and at extreme elevations. The agave hearts are harvested by hand and processed to extract the nectar that is delivered to our distillery in Middleburg, Virginia. The varied growing environments of the wild agaves create unique flavor profiles that are brought out by fermenting the 100% agave nectar in small batches, followed by double distillation in our copper pot still. Perfect for connoisseurs as well as those looking to branch out in the world of agave spirits.
