CUTWATER TEQUILA AÑEJO
Our Añejo is crafted in Tequila, Mexico with 100% blue agave that’s slow cooked in traditional brick ovens, open fermented, and double distilled in “alambique” stills made of stainless and copper. The spirit is then rested in Cutwater whiskey barrels that we ship to Jalisco from our San Diego distillery. After aging for over a year, our Añejo emerges with a rich amber hue and complex notes of oak, caramel, and bourbon vanilla. It is then bottled in Jalisco, and its label features the hand-drawn skull of a Rayador (Black Skimmer sea bird). Inspired by classic Mexican folk imagery, the illustration also serves as a nod to the Cutwater name.

CUTWATER TEQUILA REPOSADO
The elegant and precise nature of the Rayador, also known as the Black Skimmer sea bird, served as the inspiration for our Cutwater Tequila. It begins with 100% blue agave harvested from Jalisco that’s slow cooked in traditional brick ovens, open fermented, and double distilled in traditional “alambique” stills made of stainless and copper in Tequila. The spirit is then aged in Cutwater whiskey barrels, allowing the rich cooked agave flavor to meld perfectly with hints of vanilla and oak to create this distinctly Cutwater Tequila Reposado.

CUTWATER TEQUILA BLANCO
The elegant and precise nature of the Rayador, also known as the Black Skimmer sea bird, served as the inspiration for our Cutwater Tequila Blanco. We begin with 100% blue agave harvested from Jalisco that’s slow cooked in traditional brick ovens, open fermented, and double distilled in traditional “alambique” stills made of stainless and copper in Tequila. The slight grassy aroma gives way to heavy sweet notes of cooked agave and ends with a finish that stays true to tequila’s traditional roots.
