NOURISHEDBYTHESUN&THESTARSWe believe that the source of vital energy nourishing our world is found in the sun and stars.
100% AGAVE
Astral Tequila is a new super-premium tequila crafted using 100% Blue Weber Agave nourished by the sun and stars in Jalisco, Mexico. Our agave grows under the hazy glow of the warm daylight and is tempered by cool and luminous night.
TRADITIONAL PROCESS
Our production process is steeped in tradition and features a unique milling process using a tahona, a stone wheel which crushes the juices from the agave fibers. Those crushed fibers, or bagazo, are then used in the fermentation process to make use of more of the agave plant. This technique embraces the true character and flavor of the agave to create a complex yet smooth tequila with notes of agave and bursts of citrus.
A SMOOTHER TEQUILA
After fermentation, Astral is distilled twice in copper pot stills, a heritage process that results in a smoother, brighter tequila.
THE ADOBE BRICK PROJECT
Astral Tequila’s sustainability initiative
We upcycle our distillation waste into adobe bricks. Rather than dispose of our tequila production waste in landfills, we work with Green Loop who combines spent agave fibers (bagazo) with earth and liquid runoff from distillation (vinasa) to create Adobe bricks.
The wet molds of compost are then laid out in the sun to dry, yielding a brick that’s then used in construction.
Every bottle of Astral Tequila helps build homes in Jalisco, Mexico.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
We have partnered with Habitat for Humanity Mexico, the organization that will be building homes for the Jalisco, Mexico community using Astral Tequila’s adobe bricks.
Habitat for Humanity Mexico envisions a world in which everyone has a suitable home. Founded in 1989, Habitat for Humanity Mexico is a non-profit civil society organization that promotes the recognition of housing as a fundamental human right, develops communities, mobilizes public and private resources, and calls on volunteers and allies to make access to adequate housing possible for low-income families.
We are proud to partner with this organization who has helped over 345,000 people find a place to call home.
