Our Maestro Tequilero

Our Maestro Tequilero, Jesus Susunaga Acosta has a vast education from the Cognac houses of France, vermouth facilities of Italy, historic distilleries of Scotland, the Caribbean and England. But tequila has always been his first love. With over 18 years’ experience Jesus brings hands-on craftmanship needed to artfully cut and select the most complex and robust distillates for each small batch produced.

Pioneering Process

The Finest 100%
Blue Weber Agave

Carefully selected, hand harvested & cut. We only use the finest 100% Blue Weber Agave, carefully selected to be rich in natural sugars and prepared with a low jima cut. This results in less harshness and bitterness during the cooking process while creating a more consistent, flavorsome caramelization and a fresher bouquet of agave flavors.

Pioneering Process

Maceration

The first part of our pioneering process, and a rare step in tequila production to capture the lost sweet, caramelized cooked agave notes. We macerate (steep) the freshly cooked agave piñas in our distillate to extract sweet, caramelized, cooked agave notes. In other tequilas, these notes are often lost or changed during production.

Agave miel

Pioneering Process

Blending with Agave Miel

The second part of our pioneering process, for additional layers of agave flavors. As the piñas cook, the miel from the agave is collected and blended with the base distillate to infuse more agave complexity – sweet, caramel, vegetal, floral and peppery notes – without adding any additional sugars or additives.

Copper Pot Distillation

From start to finish, Mayenda’s production process is flavor driven. Our final distillation takes place in a copper pot still, to yield a more refined and robust flavor-forward tequila.

The inaugural expression of our pioneering process and the result of our endless passion for our craft and the agave. A tequila so complex, from nose to sip, that you’ll wonder if you’ve ever truly tasted tequila before.
