Crafting Tequila with Distinction
At the foundation of Volcan de mi Tierra's success is its production process that integrates the highest standards of craftsmanship, helping define its identity in the liquor industry. Made at Single NOM 1523, one of only twenty single-estate distilleries in Mexico, Volcan utilizes a unique method that merges distinct distillates from highland and lowland agaves. This careful blending achieves the depth and character that each expression boasts, combining tradition with modern techniques.
Amanda Blue, COO of the SFWSC, praised Volcan for exemplifying the dedication to innovation and quality that the competition seeks to reward. In a highly competitive environment where thousands vie for recognition, Volcan’s commitment to excellence truly sets it apart.
