Tiempo, is also a newfound favourite of ours which has recently launched its first batch of just 1,320 limited-edition bottles. Tiempo means ‘time’ in Spanish, and it’s taken just that for the tequila to get here, six blissful years in fact. Master distiller, Augustin Sanchez Rodriguez works alongside a fifth-generation family of distillers to slow-cook 100% mature blue weber agave in traditional ovens for 48 hours. It’s then fermented using natural yeast for 60 hours, twice distilled, then spends up to a year ageing in American oak whiskey casks. This is a drink in memory of a man, Mr.Lyndell Mansfield, who was a dear friend of Tiempo founder James Hughston. The Lyndell is an abundance of luxury, sweet and easy to drink we found this to be the perfect tequila cocktail.
