Harvesting Agave, Then Selecting a Single Barrel Tequila (Behind the Scenes) Tequila harvest, agave fields Mexico, VALOR Tequila, single barrel añejo selection, how tequila is made, harvesting agave, tequila tasting process, Gente Buena Foundation, additive free tequila What is it really like to harvest agave in Mexico… and then turn around and pick your own Añejo single barrel? In this video, I take you behind the scenes with the VALOR Tequila team as we head deep into the agave fields near Tequila, Jalisco to harvest for an upcoming batch. From early morning drives around the volcano to working alongside jimadores, this is the real experience most people never get to see. But it doesn’t stop there… The next day, we sit down in Tequila, Mexico to taste through multiple barrels and select a single barrel Añejo—one that will be released as a special project supporting the Gente Buena Foundation, giving back to the community of San Pedro Los Landeros. Along the way, I also share a powerful tasting technique that completely changed how I experience tequila. This is about more than tequila… It’s about people, tradition, and purpose. What You’ll See: * Agave harvesting in the fields (jima process) * Inside VALOR Tequila’s production journey * How single barrel tequila is selected * Añejo aging insights * A tasting technique that enhances flavor * The mission behind Gente Buena Foundation If you love tequila, agave spirits, or want to understand what makes additive-free tequila special… this one’s for you.
