from Tasting Tequila with Brad · host Bradley Niccum

This tequila is poured at 35,000 feet—and most people don’t know the story. Today I’m reviewing Socorro Tequila Blanco, the official tequila of American Airlines, made traditionally with zero additives. This tequila is poured at 35,000 feet—and most people don’t know what’s actually in the glass. Today, I’m reviewing Socorro Tequila Blanco, the official tequila of American Airlines. And unlike many spirits chosen for airline programs, Socorro didn’t cut corners to get there. Socorro Tequila was founded by industry veterans who had already built and sold major tequila brands—then decided to start over and do it right. The result is a traditionally made, additive-free tequila crafted in Arandas, Jalisco using only estate-grown Blue Weber agave. I also sat down for an in-depth interview with co-founder and Director of Agave Spirits Pablo Antinori, who personally oversees every step of production—from agave maturity and brix levels to fermentation, distillation cuts, and final batch tasting before bottling. Socorro uses: • Brick hornos (slow-cooked agave, 48 hours) • Roller mill extraction • 96-hour fermentation • Double distillation • Zero additives — ever In this video, I break down: • Why Socorro was selected by American Airlines • What makes this tequila different from “marketing brands” • Detailed tasting notes (aroma, palate, finish) • Why this is a true drinkers’ tequila, not a shelf trophy If you care about additive-free tequila, traditional production, and honest agave flavor — this is one you need to know.
