Sierra Tequila — The Spirit of Mexico, Twice Distilled
Sierra Tequila is one of Mexico's most distinctive and characterful tequila producers — a brand that honours the deep traditions of Mexican tequila-making while producing spirits of genuine quality, approachability, and versatility. From the crystal-clear Silver to the golden, oak-aged Reposado and the vibrant Tropical Chilli Licor, Sierra Tequila offers an expression for every occasion and every palate.
The Agave & The Jimadores
Every bottle of Sierra Tequila begins in the agave fields of Mexico, where the jimadores — the skilled fieldworkers who have tended and harvested agave for generations — care for the Blue Weber agave plants with their hands and hearts from planting to harvest. The jimador's craft is one of the most physically demanding and technically skilled in the spirits world: using the traditional coa — a long-handled axe-like tool — the jimador strips the agave of its long, spiny leaves to reveal the piña, the heart of the plant, which can weigh anywhere from 40 to 90 kilograms at maturity. The Blue Weber agave — the only variety permitted in the production of tequila — takes between seven and ten years to reach full maturity, during which time the jimadores tend the plants through every season, ensuring that only the finest and most mature agave is selected for harvest.
Production: From Piña to Spirit
Once harvested, the agave piñas are cooked gently in stainless-steel autoclaves for 16 to 24 hours — a controlled, even cooking process that converts the agave's complex carbohydrates into the fermentable sugars that will become the foundation of the tequila. After cooking, the piñas are extracted, and the agave juice is fermented before being distilled twice in traditional copper vessels — the double distillation process that removes impurities and produces a spirit of exceptional smoothness, purity, and character. The use of copper pot stills is central to the Sierra Tequila style, contributing to the characteristic smoothness and the vibrant agave character that defines the range.
Our Range
Sierra Silver Tequila 700mL — 38% ABV — The purest expression of the Sierra Tequila style — a crystal-clear, unaged Blanco tequila that goes directly from the copper still to the bottle, preserving the full, vibrant character of the Blue Weber agave without the influence of oak. Full, fruity, and fresh on the nose with a distinctive subtle chilli note, hints of green apple and young pineapple, and nuances of pepper. Mature and full-fruited on the palate with the subtle chilli warmth providing genuine agave character and the green apple and pineapple adding refreshing complexity. Outstanding in a classic Margarita, with fresh ceviche, fish tacos, guacamole, and grilled prawns.
Sierra Reposado Tequila 700mL — 38% ABV — The Silver tequila matured for nine months in toasted oak barrels — significantly longer than the two-month minimum required for a Reposado classification, and a commitment to extended maturation that produces a tequila of greater depth, roundness, and complexity. The nine months of oak ageing impart a shimmering golden colour and add notes of vanilla, caramel, and herbs to the vibrant agave character of the Silver, creating a tequila of fresh, irresistible fruitiness with concentrated flavours and excellent balance. Outstanding neat, over a single ice cube, in a premium Margarita, or alongside grilled meats, tacos, quesadillas, and dark chocolate.
Sierra Tropical Chilli Licor Con Tequila 700mL — 18% ABV — A vibrant and distinctive tequila-based licor that combines the fruitiness of Sierra Blanco tequila with an intense tropical character of mango and passion fruit, and a hint of chilli for a special spiciness in the finish. Made with only high-quality ingredients and 100% natural flavours, including mango and passion fruit concentrate. A playful and immediately enjoyable expression that is outstanding over ice, in a tropical cocktail, or as a shot with a chilli salt rim.
How to Enjoy Sierra Tequila
The Silver is the most versatile expression — outstanding in a classic Margarita (50mL Sierra Silver, 25mL fresh lime juice, 20mL triple sec, shaken over ice and strained into a salt-rimmed glass) or a Paloma (50mL Sierra Silver, grapefruit soda, fresh lime, over ice with a salt rim). The Reposado is outstanding in a Tequila Old Fashioned (50mL Sierra Reposado, sugar syrup, Angostura bitters, orange peel, over a large ice cube) or sipped slowly neat to appreciate the nine months of oak maturation. The Tropical Chilli Licor is outstanding over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime, in a tropical punch, or as a shot with a chilli-salt rim — a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at any occasion.
