Moët Hennessy Announces the Launch of Volcán X.A, A Handcrafted Ultra-Premium Tequila
In its mission to create the world’s finest Tequila, vanguard distillery Volcan de mi Tierra announces its latest launch: Volcan X.A, an innovative blend of Reposado, Añejo and Extra-Añejo tequilas, made from 100% Blue Agave and zero additives.
Moët Hennessy is proud to announce the launch of Volcán X.A, an innovative addition to the tequila market from the vanguard distillery Volcan de mi Tierra. Volcán X.A represents the pinnacle of tequila craftsmanship, blending Reposado, Añejo, and Extra-Añejo tequilas made from 100% Blue Agave with zero additives. This ultra-premium tequila pays tribute to the majestic volcano that dominates the Tequila region in Jalisco, Mexico, whose mineral-rich soil imparts a distinct flavor profile to the agave plants.
The launch event was held at Miss Fish and headlined by Escape, Bali's renowned House Music after-hour collective, in collaboration with the boys from Sala Jakarta, adding an extra layer of excitement to this exclusive occasion.
Driven by a passion for excellence, Volcan de mi Tierra has crafted Volcán X.A to be appreciated around the finest tables worldwide. The unique aromatic expression of Volcán X.A, revealed in its creative bottle design, showcases the distillery’s dedication to blending integrity and centuries of Mexican heritage and craftsmanship.
Julien Morel, CEO of Volcán de mi Tierra, remarked, “The Tequila market continues to grow at a fast pace, proving increasing level of taste and quality, and consumed in the trendiest bars, restaurants and clubs. After a successful introduction of our 3 core products, Blanco, Reposado & Cristalino, we are thrilled to launch Volcan X.A: a pure and ultimate expression of Volcan de mi Tierra savoir-faire, created to be appreciated around the best tables of the world. With our “blend of ages”, additive-free, we hope to delight existing and new tequila aficionados”.
Uncompromisingly crafted, Volcán X.A innovates by reinventing the ‘Art of Aging’ in the tequila world, using exclusive “Grace Casks” made from American oak to unveil smooth, toasted, and vanilla aromas. This meticulous process results in a unique tequila profile: a Reposado base bringing the right level of sweetness and smoothness, with Añejo and Extra-Añejo adding aromatic balance and complexity.
Santiago Cortina Gallardo, COO and board member, shared, “Volcan X.A is the result of several years of work and research in Volcan’s distillery. Some years ago, we built a new cellar, which is 8 meters deep and has 1.5m thick walls to protect our casks from the heat of Jalisco and allow gentle aging in various types of oak barrels we had been experimenting on. After many trials, we have been able to create the Tequila we were aiming for: an ultra-smooth and aromatic expression with a long finish, and no additives.”
Volcán X.A embodies the duality of fire and water, the harmony between a volcano and the people who cultivate its land, and the seamless blend of tequila’s rich history and promising future. This product stands as a testament to pure, unadulterated blending integrity and centuries of craftsmanship, making it a must-try for discerning tequila aficionados.
