Discovering the Unique Craftsmanship of Tahona Crushed Blanco Tequilas

In the vast world of tequila, there's an art to crafting spirits steeped in tradition and precision. Enter tahona blanco tequilas, exemplified by brands like @volcantequila, which capture vibrancy and complexity using time-honored methods. Among the select few tequilas made from 100% tahona-crushed agave, Volcan's Tahona Blanco emerges as a standout in both taste and technique.

 

 

The Tahona Process: A Nod to Tradition

A tahona, or a massive stone wheel, is used historically in tequila-making to crush cooked piñas and extract the precious juice within. This labor-intensive method ensures minimal oxidation and allows for a more refined extraction process compared to modern shredding techniques.

Volcan Tahona Blanco belongs to an exclusive category—one of only about 16 blancos using a volcanic tahona alone and forgoing pre-shredding the cooked agave. This choice preserves the natural fibers, preventing the bitterness introduced by ethanol or methanol released during shredding, and elevating the integrity of the final product.
