Tequila is synonymous with glass and occasionally ceramic bottles, but Volcan de mi Tierra created Colección La Gavilana I in collaboration with ARCA, the world's leading purveyor of premium natural stone. The luxurious Bianco Carrara marble vessels are a celebration of Mexican craftsmanship, and they tell the story of the Gallardo family settling in Jalisco in 1774 at the Hacienda known as La Gavilana.
Colección I officially launches this month at Miami's Art Basel inside ARCA's Wynwood showroom. At the renowned art event, guests will see the Bianco Carrara marble vessels and be among the first to taste the liquid.
Within the vessel is Volcan de mi Tierra's first Añejo, a 100% Lowlands Blue Weber agave expression aged in European oak and finished in sherry casks to produce notes of ripe fruit, dark chocolate, and warm spice.
