La Hora Azul’s Blanco is made from Blue Weber agave grown in volcanic soils, slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, roller-milled, fermented in stainless steel, and twice distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled without ageing, it preserves the agave’s vivid character. The bottle, handcrafted in Guadalajara and crowned with the twin-serpent emblem, merges centuries-old tradition with modern design.
