Agave piñas are slow‑cooked in traditional brick ovens and crushed using both modern mills and the volcanic Tahona stone, blending tradition with innovation . Fermentation relies on proprietary yeast that enhances fresh citrus and fruity aromas . The spirit then undergoes double distillation in copper stills for purity and smoothness .
