Luxco Launches Cortada Smoked Tequila for a Unique Taste Experience

Luxco Introduces Cortada Smoked Tequila

Luxco, Inc., a prominent player in the beverage alcohol industry, has officially launched Cortada Smoked Tequila, a premium spirit with a distinctive smoky flavor profile. This innovative tequila is available in two varieties: Blanco and Reposado, each expertly crafted to highlight the unique characteristics of 100% Blue Weber Agave.

The endeavor to create Cortada was led by fourth-generation Master Distiller Graciela “Grace” Gonzalez, who has revived an age-old recipe passed down through her family. The agave used in Cortada is sourced from Los Altos and the Valley region of Jalisco, Mexico. In a meticulous process, the agave is hand-selected, cooked, and then infused with the flavors of smoldering Mesquite and Mexican Oak wood. This method not only preserves the natural sweetness of the agave but also adds a whisper of smoke that enriches the tasting experience.

“This tequila reflects years of heritage and craftsmanship,” said Gonzalez. “It's refined yet possesses a spicy edge, making it perfect for a dynamic cocktail culture like Denver’s, where we’re launching.” The Cortada brand is currently being launched in Denver, with plans for future expansion available through e-commerce in partnership with Shared Pour.

Tasting Profiles of Cortada Tequila

The Cortada Blanco stands out as a pristine representation of tequila, marked by its clarity and smoothness. On the palate, it delivers notes of pineapple and agave molasses, with the smoky finish lending it an intriguing depth. Additionally, the Cortada Reposado, aged in bourbon barrels, elevates the flavor experience further. It offers aromas of dark chocolate, spiciness, and a well-rounded mouthfeel that appeals to those seeking a refreshing departure from traditional whiskey.

Both expressions showcase the versatility of Cortada Smoked Tequila, whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. The tequila can elevate classic beverages like Margaritas and Old Fashioneds, inviting innovative mixology. For instance, the Smoky Ranch Water cocktail includes Cortada, soda water, fresh lime, and can be garnished with either dehydrated lime or grapefruit.

A Call to Tequila Lovers

According to Kayleigh Longo, Cortada’s Brand Manager, “Smoked spirits are igniting fresh creativity across the spirits world, and Cortada is here to redefine tequila.” With its unique flavor dynamics, it's a fantastic choice for those craving something different in their drink experience.

As customers continue to seek innovative options within the spirits category, Cortada Smoked Tequila offers a refreshing take that pays homage to traditional tequila-making while boldly venturing into new territory. Tequila enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados alike will undoubtedly find joy in exploring the multi-faceted palate of Cortada.
