Purest Expression of Agave
DeLeon Tequila Arrives in Hong Kong
Hong Kong, 20 June, 2012 ¡Ð Hong Kong is well known for its sophisticated wine culture, yet, taste makers have been seeking new and fresh alternatives to wine. As such, tequila is now increasingly popular among social gatherings and events as the brand new toast for all occasions.
Originating from Mexico, DeLeon Tequila is renowned for its purity, refined quality and unique design. The brand's commitment to serve only the best and its signature savor impresses wine and spirit connoisseurs alike. Today, DeLeon Tequila is widely referred to as one of the most premium tequilas in the market and has now arrived in Hong Kong for the very first time.
Origin
DeLeon Tequila is crafted at a family-owned agave field and distillery in Purisima del Rincon, Guanajuato, Mexico, one of the few states outside Jalisco allowing production of 100% Blue Weber Tequila. The town name literally translates to ¡§The Purest of the Corner¡¨ and was named after the Immaculate Conception.
Purest of the Corner
DeLeon is certifiably the purest tequila on record as documented by the Tequila Regulatory Council (Consejo Regulador Del Tequila) or CRT based upon superior alcohol and methanol levels. The CRT (Tequila Regulatory Council) legally requires all tequila be distilled a minimum of two times and contrary to popular belief, added distillation is proof positive of an inferior product. With DeLeon Tequila's quality and innate purity, it only requires two distillations comparing to the majority of other tequila brands which need a minimum of three to five times.
Strict selection of raw materials
Composed of 100% Puro de Agave Tequila, DeLeon Tequila is produced in the highlands of Purisima del Rincon, Guanajuato, Mexico. With a sea level of 2,000m, the region is known as ¡§The Purest of the Corner¡¨. Agave cultivated at this region tends to be naturally sweeter, with more honey, citrus, and floral notes. In addition, DeLeon Tequila distillery also has the purest water levels in the entire country of Mexico; it is the only tequila producing facility in the world with three natural spring wells dedicated to one source.
Aiming at enhancing the purity and serving the most delicate and original flavor to all spirit lovers, DeLeon Tequila is the only brand which contains no chemical coloring, synthetic flavor softeners or accelerants in its tequila. Not even for Glycerin, Sucrose, Oak Extract and Caramel flavoring, the four additives commonly used to mask unfavorable aroma and flavor in an inferior product.
Detailed and Focused Production
The DeLeon distillery is one fabrica producing one brand of tequila. DeLeon is and will always be one of one, whereas almost all distilleries manufacture upwards of 47 brands from the same single distillery. Here at DeLeon, it is not produced with multiple tequila brands that routinely compromise quality, every detail of the tequila making process is perfected.
The barrel aging process of the DeLeon Reposado, Anejo and Extra Anejo tequila is unrivaled, with no Glycerin or Caramel flavoring being added, instead, DeLeon flavors are naturally drawn from the 150-200 year-old Haute Futaie French Oak barrels. DeLeon even finishes their Anejo in French Sauternes barrels from the most revered winemakers of our time. DeLeon Tequila is made complete by the natural flavors of these exquisite barrels solidifying the distinct DeLeon profile.
Bejeweled Packaging
The brand¡¦s identity is represented flawlessly by its artistic bottle and exquisite metal top. Made of heavy, thick glass, each bottle is uniquely square, sleek and sexy, with the DeLeon logo sandblasted on the front. This simple, minimalistic design gives emphasis to its iconic metal top designed by famed rock and roll jewelry designer Bill Wall. Both the Diamante and Reposado feature a sterling silver top, while the Anejo, is finished in gold. The DeLeon 51 bottle features an ornate gold stopper that has been aged with a copper green patina for depth.
