Inside El Sabino Distillery: Tasting Manuscrito’s First-Ever Batch Manuscrito Tequila first batch tasting at El Sabino Distillery in Jesús María, Jalisco. I got to try a rare, never-sold tequila made by master distiller Oscar Vázquez and co-founder Jake Taylor—this is the original 300 liter batch that started it all. This is one of the most unique experiences I’ve had in tequila—standing inside El Sabino Distillery, sipping on Manuscrito’s very first experimental batch that was never released to the public. This tequila was made completely from scratch—harvested, cooked, fermented, and distilled under the direction of master distiller Oscar Vázquez. Instead of small samples, they produced a full 300 liter batch to create a true production profile of what Manuscrito would become. Some of that batch was aged—and what we’re drinking here is over a year old, carrying both incredible flavor and deep sentimental value for the brand. This is the kind of experience you only get by going to Mexico, visiting distilleries, and connecting with the people behind the tequila. If you love tequila, additive-free tequila, and behind-the-scenes distillery content—this one is special.
