Champagne Tequila – introducing the champagne of tequilas so smooth you sip it from a flute.

Imagine a tequila so smooth, so pure and complex you sip it from a long-stemmed flute.

Aged in custom new American Oak barrels and produced in one of the most environmentally friendly distilleries in the world, ultra-premium Tequila Enemigo is leading the tequila revolution, starting with the UK this winter. Blending traditional methods with cutting-edge technology, this pioneering tequila is already winning international awards.

Designed to be sipped, not shot, Tequila Enemigo is enjoyed by drinkers in an innovative and versatile way. The ultimate celebratory spirit to toast with this Christmas and New Year, it is served in long-stemmed champagne flutes, either chilled, with a squeeze of lime or at room temperature. The narrow bowl of the flute amplifies the aromas and funnels the liquid to the tip of the tongue to ensure the elegant and distinctive flavour is savoured.

Enemigo 89 Añejo Cristalino is traditionally aged for over a year, resting in custom made new American Oak barrels. The dark liquid is then removed and placed through a state-of-the-art filtration system, turning it clear again. This process retains the complex flavours obtained through ageing whilst making it one of the smoothest tequilas ever created.

After only two days of previewing their first bottles, Tequila Enemigo won the Masters Medal at The Global Luxury Spirits Masters, one of the highest accolades in the drinks world for its unique smoothness. This superior spirits brand will launch two different products in time for Christmas; Enemigo 89 Añejo Cristalino and Enemigo 00 Extra Añejo.

Enemigo’s tequila is produced in the cleanest and most environmentally-conscious method. Every plant is 100% blue agave and is individually checked for sugar concentration before heating; a process that uses only left-over agave rather than fossil fuels. From the spring water that passes through the volcano to create a unique blend of naturally occurring minerals, to the jimadors (agave farmers) who incorporate modern technology with centuries-old family farming traditions, Tequila Enemigo challenges convention, whilst respecting tradition from root to bottle.

Enemigo 00 Extra Añejo (winner of the Master’s Medal at The Global Luxury Spirits Masters 2017), rests, undisturbed for over three years under the watchful eye of the distillers who continually monitor the evolution of the liquid until its deemed ready. During this time, it takes in the deep flavours and colours from the American Oak barrels. Production of this rich, award-winning tequila is extremely limited and should be savoured.

Award-winning Enemigo 00 Extra Añejo and Enemigo 89 Añejo Cristalino are now available in select bars and restaurants across London and Europe. Head to some of London’s finest including Street XO, 5 Hertford Street, Mr. Fogg’s, Isabel and Bart’s to experience the new age of tequila.
