American beverage giant Luxco has announced the arrival of Escasa, a new ultra-premium sipping Tequila now available across the United States. This exquisite spirit, crafted under the meticulous guidance of fourth-generation Master Distiller Graciela "Grace" Gonzalez, redefines the art of Tequila-making by emphasizing the unique flavors inherent to Jalisco’s soil. Featuring both Blanco and Reposado variants, the latter set to release in summer 2025, Escasa showcases a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Utilizing hand-selected agave, triple distillation, and aging in Albariño wine barrels, this premium Tequila delivers an unparalleled sensory experience.
In her pursuit of perfection, Gonzalez embarked on a journey in 2024 to create a Tequila that embodies centuries of knowledge and cultural heritage. Each batch begins with single-estate-grown Blue Weber agave, harvested at peak ripeness and cooked for a minimum of 24 hours. The process introduces Bagazo fibers during fermentation, adding depth and complexity to the final product. Triple-distilled using extra pure water and heirloom yeast, Escasa emerges as a crystal-clear masterpiece with a full-bodied, spicy finish.
The Reposado variant takes this craftsmanship further by aging in Spanish Albariño wine barrels. Known for its crisp stone fruit notes, Albariño complements the earthy essence of the Blanco, resulting in a balanced profile ideal for connoisseurs seeking refinement. Gonzalez draws inspiration from her love of diverse wines, ensuring each sip reflects her passion for blending mineral-rich flavors with traditional techniques.
For those eager to explore Escasa's offerings, the Blanco pairs beautifully with delicate seafood dishes like sashimi or ceviche, while the Reposado enhances rich meats and grilled vegetables. These pairings highlight the nuanced aromas and flavors that distinguish Escasa from other Tequilas. Brand Manager Kayleigh Longo emphasizes that Escasa is not merely a drink but an invitation to elevate celebrations through authentic, refined experiences.
Beyond its exceptional taste, Escasa represents a commitment to quality and innovation. Retailing at $99.99 for the Blanco and $119.99 for the Reposado, this Tequila invites enthusiasts to indulge in a spirit crafted with care and precision. As Gonzalez articulates, Escasa stands as a tribute to Mexican culture, offering a gateway to life's finest moments. Whether enjoyed neat or paired thoughtfully, Escasa promises to redefine what it means to savor Tequila.
