Kah Blanco Tequila

KAH Tequila 'Day of the Dead' Blanco presents a surprisingly well-balanced and inviting bouquet. Fresh, vegetal notes of agave take centre stage, reminiscent of freshly cut grass and artichoke hearts. Hints of white pepper add a touch of piquancy, while subtle citrusy undertones provide a refreshing complexity. On the palate, light and pleasant, showcasing a smooth, silky texture. The initial sweetness of cooked agave gently unfolds, complemented by a subtle warmth of white pepper. As the tequila lingers on the palate, a touch of minerality emerges, adding depth and intrigue. The finish is medium in length, round and soft with a gentle peppery spice that leaves a pleasant tingle.

The design of the KAH Blanco bottle is inspired by the Bolivian tradition of the Day of the Dead celebration in which actual skulls of loved ones are kept and brought out on November 8th of each year. After taking the skull to the cemetery, the skull is symbolically fed and given tequila, sometimes even cigarettes. Bolivians believe that this act immortalises the dead who, in turn, help to protect the living from evil spirits.

No two bottles of KAH tequila are the same with each and every individual bottle being a hand-crafted work of art. KAH, meaning life in Mayan, was inspired by the traditional Calaveras (sugar skulls) used in Dia de los Muertos rituals to symbolise death and rebirth, for the design on these unique bottles.

Apart from the standard traditions of shrine building and gift giving, things are taken a step further and rather than going home after the graveside celebrations, many people stay and sleep in the grave yard. They believe that this act re-enforces the emotional connection between them and the deceased.

KAH - DAY OF THE DEAD TEQUILA

KAH is designed to pay reverence and honour to Mexico, its culture and traditions. 

Cheers to Life

KAH bottle design and spirits celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the 3,000 year-old Meso-American traditional holiday in remembrance of deceased loved ones. 

While the bottle captures the enduring tradition, the Tequila inside of it is worthy of the celebration.

KAH's distillers transform hand-harvested 100% blue Weber agave into lively Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions.

Día de los Muertos

“KAH” translates to “life” in the ancient Mayan language, and Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos, in fact, is a celebration of lives lived.

The multi-day festival brings together family and friends to pray for and remember those they have lost. The customs are based on the belief that mourning and sadness are an insult to the deceased, and therefore, the lives they lived should be celebrated with the food, drink and activities they enjoyed while still alive.
