General Gorostieta High Proof Blanco Tequila

This newest release of higher proof blanco was crafted by the Famous Filipe Camarena, master distiller at the family owned El Pandillo distillery (NOM 1579) in the mountainous region of Jalisco. This is the first high proof expression from General Gorostieta. 52% ABV from 100% spring water. 

General Enrique Gorostieta was the leader of the Cristero movement, a civil war during post-revolutionary Mexico, in the 1920s. He graduated from the Heroico Colegio Militar with an impeccable arms career that reached its peak way beyond the end of the Porfiriato era. Considered an extraordinary infantry strategist, his shrewdness earned him a prompt promotion to the rank of Brigadier General at the age of twenty-four.

Against all odds and without adequate or sufficient weapons or ammunition, he turned a handful of rebels into a formidable military force of more than 25,000 men, capable of putting the regime of President Plutarco Elías Calles in check. The multiple obstacles and scarcity of resources were overcome by leadership, courage, and discipline.
