OUR PROCESS
HARVESTING

It all begins on Mexican soil. Our agave grows in the Jalisco Valley region and is harvested at 10 years of age by our experienced jimadors.

COOKING

Blue Agave Tequilana Weber are slowly steam-roasted in centuries old traditional thick stone walled brick ovens (hornos) for 36 to 54 hours. This traditional art of 'slow cooking' in brick ovens prevents the cooked agave from caramelizing while softening the fibers and transforming the carbohydrates into fermentable sugars.

EXTRACTION

The sugar is extracted from the cooked agave via a shredding machine, known as a 'molino' or mill. As the agave fibers pass through the milling heads, the agave is squeezed releasing the sugar concentrated sweet juice. All the while the fibers/juice is being washed with de-ionized/reverse osmosis treated water.

FERMENTATION

We utilize a medium/slow fermentation system, averaging 48- 60 hours.

DISTILLATION

After 48 hours of fermentation, the resulting 'mosto' is distilled twice in stainless steel stills: first into 'ordinario,' then again to finally obtain tequila.

AGING

Shadow Reposado rests for 9 months and Shadow Añejo for 18 months in once used Tennessee owned bourbon barrels, building a smooth, layered profile.
