MICO is a new classic, one that is modern in spirit yet crafted with respect to the legacy of world-class tequila. Their master distiller creates proprietary blends in small batches. She is an experienced artisan who finds the perfect balance between the tequila's smoothness and flavor, sweetness and spice.
Each bottle of MICO is an expression of the company's meticulous dedication to the craft. The tequila is pure, yet complex, rested not aged. The double-distilled spirit is refined to the point of being rarified.
You can purchase MICO tequilas on their web site and at retailers. They are available in Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo. Bottles can be purchased individually, in a three bottle party pack or a six bottle party pack.
MICO Reposado is aged in American Oak whiskey barrels then finished in Napa Valley Cabernet barrels to create warm vanilla notes that marry with the tequila's natural agave edge. The result is a Tennessee-inspired finish that doesn't forget its Jalisco roots.
MICO Añejo is aged in American Oak bourbon barrels then finished in Alexander Valley Cabernet barrels, full-bodied red wine meets the rugged refinement of tequila to make for a complex, rich finish with notes of tobacco spice and dried fruit.
MICO Blanco is crafted in small batches with only the three essential ingredients of water, 100% Blue Weber Agave, and time. The expression opens on a floral nose and finishes with the tequila's ripe, natural agave characteristics.
