Episode Details

EL CORAZÓN from Cambio Tequila is one of the most intentional Blancos I’ve reviewed. This Cellar Series #4 Blanco was fermented at one-third the normal temperature and distilled using only the heart cut. EL CORAZÓN — Cambio Cellar Series #4 Blanco — is a tequila built around precision, restraint, and respect for agave. This 2023 release was fermented at extremely high sugar levels, more than double what most distilleries work with, and at exceptionally low temperatures, roughly one-third the temperature of traditional tequila fermentations. That slow, cold fermentation preserves delicate aromatics and builds texture before distillation even begins. During distillation, Cambio took an approach most producers simply can’t afford at scale: they captured only the heart of the run, discarding all heads and tails to preserve purity, texture, and clarity. In this video, I break down: • Why low-temperature fermentation matters • What heart-only distillation really means • Aroma, palate, mouthfeel, and finish • Why this Blanco is an exceptional sipping tequila If you watched my interview with Chief John, this bottle is the philosophy we discussed — made liquid. This is not a cocktail Blanco. This is a slow, intentional sipper. https://thetequilashop.net/products/cambio-cellar-series-4-el-corazon?variant=51628596560151 Sip responsibly, and respect the agave. #Tequila, #CambioTequila, #ELCORAZON, #AdditiveFreeTequila, #TequilaBlanco, #AgaveSpirits, #CraftTequila, #TequilaReview, #TequilaCommunity, #SipResponsibly © Tasting Tequila with Brad
