Honored to be Named Among the Top 20 High-Proof Tequilas by Taste Tequila
We're thrilled and deeply honored to announce that Wild Common Still Strength has been recognized as one of the top 20 high-proof tequilas by Taste Tequila's expert panel. In a comprehensive blind tasting featuring 34 industry professionals split between aficionados and bartenders, our traditionally crafted spirit stood out, particularly impressing the aficionado group who ranked us as their second favorite overall.
This recognition holds special meaning for us at Wild Common, as it validates our unwavering commitment to traditional production methods at the historic Cascahuin distillery (NOM 1123). Our 50% ABV tequila reflects the pure expression of agave, crafted using both tahona and roller mill processing, with a unique fermentation approach that embraces both fiber-in and fiber-free methods.
Our Craft Process
-
Each bottle of Wild Common Still Strength begins with carefully selected agave, processed using both traditional tahona and roller mill methods. This dual-processing approach allows us to extract the perfect balance of agave flavors. We then employ a unique fermentation process that incorporates both fiber-in and fiber-free methods, adding complexity to our final spirit.
-
The heart of our operation is our small copper-pot still, where we distill our tequila to a precise 50% ABV (100 proof). Unlike many modern tequilas, we choose not to add water after distillation, preserving the pure expression of our craft.
A Distinctive Profile
-
Our commitment to traditional methods yields a spirit with remarkable character. Our distinct profile, featuring notes of cinnamon, citrus, and spicy pepper, alongside earthy undertones of gravel, hay, and cut grass, demonstrates why still strength tequilas are gaining recognition among enthusiasts. On the palate, you'll discover a harmonious blend of cinnamon, citrus, and spicy pepper, creating a complex yet approachable profile.
