Espíritu Bramido Master Distiller Interview | Can Chapala Make Great Tequila?

Espíritu Bramido Master Distiller Interview | Can Chapala Make Great Tequila? Can a new tequila region change the future of additive-free tequila? In this exclusive interview, I sit down with 29-year-old Master Distiller Oswaldo González of Tequila Espíritu Bramido to discuss how he's creating one of the most exciting new additive-free tequilas in Mexico. Oswaldo shares the story behind Espíritu Bramido, the family's history dating back to 1869, and why they're pioneering tequila from the unique Chapala terroir instead of the traditional Highlands or Valley. We dive deep into their production methods, including estate-grown agave from the shores of Lake Chapala, masonry steam ovens, spontaneous wild yeast fermentation, naturally mineral-rich spring water, copper pot stills, and their innovative underground fermentation tanks. Oswaldo also explains why their High Proof Blanco is bottled at 49% ABV, discusses the philosophy behind additive-free tequila, and gives an exclusive preview of the upcoming Reposado and Añejo releases.
