What would Zorro drink?

The real Man in Black doesn’t need no stinkin’ Hawaiian shirt. Sure he can tie a cherry stem in a knot just using his tongue; but why would he? Palladin, Cash, Batman, Dracula. Resposado is the brand for the tequila man that knows the difference between a single-filtered high-elevation nurtured Mexican spirit gentlly rested in American White Oak casks and the crap with a beachball on the label. The Lone Ranger was a wimp.

MAN IN BLACK REPOSADO

In the black mood.

A sommelier notes that, “this tequila shows its complexity by starting off caramel sweet, and then transitioning to hot and spicy and finally ending with a long, nutty,  gum tickling finish.” Don’t forgive the rudeness, but bullshit. This is a great tequila. It goes well with a great cigar or a Gauloises in private while you’re sharing an intimate conversation only with yourself.  Aged in charred French oak barrels.

MAN IN BLACK ANEJO

Tequila Noir.

We wanted to label this Tequila Noir for its dark and shadowy taste, its smoky reverence, but Mexico wouldn’t allow a French word that close to the country’s national pride. Man in Black Extra Anejo is best of breed. After eight years in charred French oak casks, save it to accompany Cormac McCarthy’s next novel or your occasional nocturnal attempt to memorize every line of Casablanca. It’s that classic.

MAN IN BLACK EXTRA

WHY MAN IN BLACK TEQUILA IS THE BEST DAMN TEQUILA MADE.

Because it is. Kinky doesn't lie. Plus, he has years of  trequila abuse experience.

Plus, it's single filtered in the distillation process. Also, everyone knows that the best blue agave (all tequilas bottled in Mexico must be 100% blue agave) is grown in the highlands, where Man in Black tequila is grown, distilled and bottled.

While you may have read it elsewhere, it is not true that the agave for this tequila is harvested only by certified virgins.

 

You can drink up all the words you want about how good Man in Black Tequila is, but you're going to have to taste it for final clarity.  You're invited. The proof is in the bottle, so to speak.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT MAN IN BLACK PLATA.

"That's the real shit."  -

"Crystal clear in appearance with a bold aroma of 100% blue agave in its purest  form.  It has a crisp, clean character with a flavor that comes on hot and spicy and then fades into a hint of sweetness.  Medium to full bodied with a lingering and satisfying finish. Perfect alone or mixed, especially good for those who want to savor a traditional agave flavor in their cocktails." 
  -A sommelier's notebook.

"This is what I'm changing water to next time!"   -Jesus (Okay, we made that up.)

ABOUT MAN IN BLACK REPOSADO.

"Very slight caramel color with a soft,  yet distinctive agave aroma . The flavor is well integrated with a hint of smokiness,  combined with a slight  sweet, white pepper spiciness.  Very well -balanced, with a light to medium body and an elongated toasty finish.  Serve it as it comes, or mix in top shelf cocktails for a truly satisfying elixir."  -A sommelier's notebook.

RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT MAN IN BLACK ANEJO.

"Better than his books."

"A natural depth of caramel color with clean and subtle floral notes juxtaposed by a slow baked pina aroma, this tequila shows its complexity by starting off caramel sweet, and then transitioning to hot and spicy and finally ending with a long, nutty,  gum tickling finish."  -A sommelier's notebook.

MAN IN BLACK EXTRA  ANEJO.

"The extended six years of aging in American oak barrels is immediately apparent in the color of this tequila that has the color of a fine Cognac.  Time has fused the hot and spicy characteristics of the younger version into a smooth and elegant tequila that is transformed by time. It is perfectly balanced and has a subtle finish that goes on and on. The top of the line, this tequila is perfect  served straight up so it can be savored for all the complexity it has to offer."  -A sommelier's notebook.
