MADE IN ONE PIECE, NEEDS NO MIXER.
INSPIRE RESPECT | Severo Tequila is handcrafted from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave and is inspired by Mexico´s postrevolutionary period called "Maximato" (1928- 1934). Severo was born from the severe hardship and struggle of the Mexican Revolution, which led to raw pride, energy, emotion, and the birth of Mexico’s national identity, resulting in the establishment of the national drink – Tequila. The recipe captures the bold agave-forward flavor reminiscent of this era, yet carefully refined to create a smooth, sippable spirit. When creating Severo, we propose to pay homage to that Mexico of recalcitrant nationalism, that knows that tequila is meant to be enjoyed neat in order to fully enjoy Azul Tequilana Weber agave which matures for seven years before being processed as tequila, to then become a deep flavorful “made of one piece" spirit that Mexico appreciates as the original well-crafted national identity drink. Severo Tequila comes in four marques –Plata, Reposado, Añejo and Añejo Cristalino – each delivering a unique, robust flavor that demands absolutely no mixers. Severo Tequila's recipe is direct descendent of Mexico’s tumultuous post-revolution period from pioneering tequila family. The tequila-making craft has been handed down by family for more than 100 years. The traditional recipe has been carefully refined for today’s discerning tequila drinker while still capturing the bold actions and extreme emotional intensity of that period. Small-batch and hand-crafted from 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave. Packaged in a hand-dated and numbered, roughhewn artisan bottle and unrefined label design that directly reflects era.
After the Agave are harvested, they are autoclaved cooked, then the fresh juice is extracted with a roller mill. From there, the juice is fermented in stainless steel with local, family-owned proprietary yeast. The water used in production comes from an aquafer that passes close to a local volcano, called the Tequila Volcano. The volcanic rocks both filter the water and fortify it with tons of minerals, making it fresh, clean, and flavorful. It is the twice distilled in both copper pot and column still.
SEVERO PLATA Severo Plata is a piercing crystalline, bold, and flavorful tequila. Rested in Stainless Steel for 6 months. The nose exhibits deep aromas of simmering oats, framed by a striking citrus and floral background that leads to punches of grapefruit and licorice. The palate offers a creamy mouthfeel enhanced by pronounced, agave-forward acidity, followed by a lingering minerality in the long finish. 40% ABV
SEVERO REPOSADO Severo Reposado is a copper-hued, clean, and bright tequila. Aged for 10 months in White American Oak. Its aromatic notes are reminiscent of fresh vanilla bean, maple syrup, and rich caramel. The taste shows a seamless and engaging velvety texture, with a stout bouquet and medium—long finish. 40% ABV SEVERO AÑEJO Severo Añejo is deep amber in appearance, alerting tasters to its bold, complex flavor. Its aromatic notes are reminiscent of toasted wood, fine liqueurs such as cognac, vanilla, and butterscotch. Also present are strikes of dried fruits and citrus peel, along with a nice edge of cardamom. On the palate it shows a rewarding liqueur-like texture. The finish is strong with a long and sweet tail. 40% ABV
SEVERO AÑEJO CRISTALINO Severo Añejo Cristalino is precise and bright. Aged 18 months in White American Oak & Charcoal Filtered. Its aromatic notes hint at sugared, baked white fruits, like pears and apples, with a subtle stab of cocoa flower. The palate shows a rich texture under layered pepper and star anise notes. 40% ABV
