‘Tigre’ might very well be the most unique of all agave spirits. Made from agave Bruto, grown in a very moist region. Don Luis ferments without the addition of water and distills one time in clay pot stills, resulting in this one of a kind spirit. Famous for its cheesy aromas, it magically transforms to strawberry, sweet agave and cream on the palate.
