Ghost Tequila is a unique spirit that infuses 100% Blue Weber Agave tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, with the heat of the ghost pepper. The brand aims to deliver a balanced flavor profile where the spice enhances rather than overwhelms the tequila. They emphasize a "perfectly spicy" experience that offers a quick hit of heat followed by a smooth finish. Ghost Tequila is produced at Casa Maestri in Tequila, Mexico, using traditional harvesting, cooking, maceration, fermentation, and single-batch distillation methods, while also integrating modern, sustainable techniques. Tasting Notes: Flavor: It initially fills the mouth with a mild spice and sweet notes of cooked agave. This is followed by the distinct heat of the ghost pepper, which is described as present without being overpowering or causing a burning sensation. Some detect hints of honey and citrus. Finish: The heat gradually dissipates, leaving a silky and clean finish. Some describe the finish as having sweet and citric notes, while others note a lingering spice. Awards: Ghost Tequila has received recognition for its unique flavor profile: 2020: Gold Medal with 90 Points at the Bartender Spirits Awards. The tasting note described it as "A spicy blend that is hot, but finishes smooth and clean."
