COUSIN AGAVE
Pure Agave Blanco Spirit
The Plant
Agave grown on Spanish soil
Agave is not native to Spain — but under the right conditions, it thrives. Our agave plants grow on the dry, well-drained, sun-exposed slopes of our estate, where the Mediterranean climate provides the intense heat and low rainfall that agave demands. We cultivate several agave species for this expression, selecting for flavour complexity rather than any single botanical profile.
The result is an agave spirit with a distinct Spanish character — reflecting both the volcanic, mineral quality of agave as a plant and the warm, dry terroir of our estate. It is at once familiar and entirely novel.
Open-Air Fermentation
Wild yeast. Honest character.
After the piñas are slow-roasted and crushed, the agave juice ferments in open-air stone vats — exposed to the wild yeasts that float through the air of our estate. This is perhaps the most ancient, least controlled step in our entire process, and it produces some of the most remarkable aromatic complexity we achieve.
Fermentation can take up to 7 days depending on the season and ambient conditions. No commercial yeast. No temperature control. Just agave, air, and time — doing what they have always done together.
Tasting Notes
On the glass
Wild & Botanical
A nose of genuine wildness — roasted agave, wild herbs, and subtle smokiness from the stone-roasting process. There is a sun-baked earthiness underneath it all that speaks unmistakably of Spanish landscape in summer heat. Complex, evolving, and deeply compelling.
Intense & Expressive
An expressive palate with the intensity that open-air fermentation produces — charred agave sweetness, citrus pith, a pleasingly assertive vegetal quality, and an almost sea-mineral finish entirely unique to our Spanish terroir. This is a spirit for the curious and the brave.
Dry & Lasting
A long, dry, beautifully botanical finish. Light smoke, dried herbs, and a faint mineral saltiness that lingers and evolves over several minutes. The kind of finish that changes your understanding of what agave is capable of — and makes you immediately reach for another measure.
